Retrieving attributes for a JMS Queue - Did the call succeed or fail?

[aengineer]

How do you find out if a call to retrieve a attribute via the management API failed? For example, in the below sample code, the method "hasOperationSuceeded" always returns false.

Message message = session.createMessage();
JMSManagementHelper.putAttribute(message, "jms.queue.ExampleQueue", "messageCount");
Message reply = requestor.request(message);
Object o = JMSManagementHelper.getResult(reply);
if (JMSManagementHelper.hasOperationSucceeded(reply)) {
    log.info("There are " + o.toString() + " messages in queue [" + "jms.queue.ExampleQueue" + "]");   
} else {
    log.error("Failed: Management response is [" + o.toString() + "]");
}

On a side note, should one be using the management API, or should one be using the JMX API to do these kinds of activities?

Thanks

This is indeed a bug: I just fixed it in the trunk https://jira.jboss.org/browse/HORNETQ-420

You can achieve the same results using either the management API or JMX. I prefer to use JMX as it is more straightforward but ymmv.

thanks for the report,
