Programatically Creating Destinations

[toddjtidwell]

Under the new messaging system how can I programmatically create a new Queue or Topic remotely?

I know this is....unusual, but for our purposes it is necessary.

Should I use an MBean, if so, which one and how do I use it? Is there another way?

The JMS spec does not specify a standard way of doing this so different messaging systems do it in different ways.

To deploy a new queue programmatically in JBoss Messaging you can use the createQueue/destroyQueue createTopic/destroyTopic methods on the ServerPeer MBean.

Actually the current names aren't too good, createQueue/Topic only "creates" the queue/topic if it doesn't already exist - otherwise it just deploys the current one using existing data from the database.

Also destroyQueue/Topic doesn't actually destroy the queue/topic it just undeploys it, and it can be redeployed later.

It's likely we shall clarify these distinctions and make the difference between creation/destruction and deployment/undeployment clearer in the future.

I appreciate the quick response. Can you give me a pointer in the right direction for obtaining the ServerPeer MBean remotely and calling those functions?

Thank you
