hornetq-jms.xml entries not honoured after jmx createQueue call

[hughbragg]

After upgrading to 2.2.5, I deleted the data directory and started hornetq standalone non clustered.

Everything was fine and all my hornetq-jms.xml entries were created as expected. It ran fine for 2 weeks.

I wanted to do some loadtesting comparing different instances of hornetq so I tried to add some more queues to the jms file.

It didn't work as I'd expected by creating the queues I'd added to the file like it used to in 2.1.2.

I ran jconsole and connected, everything was there from the original jms file, butr none of the new entries.

I added a queue manually by calling createQueue("queueName", "/queue/queueName") from jconsole

It created the queue as expected.

I restarted Hornetq and ran jconsole again. The only queue was the one I'd created using createQueue.

None of the queues from the jms file were there, not the old ones or the new ones. All the old ones were still in the core queues, but not the jms queues.

I stopped hornetq and deleted the data directory, but when I restarted all the address and queue entries were missing.

I was able to restore the old data directory and get back to where I was before I deleted it, but now I'm left in the position that I can't create the old or new queues without explicitly calling createQueue.

The old behavious very useful as I could add queues without restarting and they were persistant across restarts.

Is this a bug?

Is there another way to do this or have I made a mistake?

How can I copy my configuration to another machine now that it ignores hornetq-jms.xml?

I started this old thread long ago which was when I discovered the behaviour.

Apparently the old queues are there since I can still send and receive on them, but jconsole can't see them any more.

I'm not sure if that means the core queues which are visible to jmx are being used or the jms queues are being used but are not visible to jmx.

I expect it's the last as I'm using jms to send and consume messages.

None of the new queues in hornetq-jms.xml have been created either on the core or in jms.

[hughbragg]

Just to confirm. I can send messages on the old queues, but I can't get the message count by jmx or see them on the jconsole.

Should I report a bug?

Sure please report a bug and attach a test if you have one. This helps a lot with debugging.

Thanks

What sort of a test can I supply?

This process involves editing the jms.xml file and restarting.

That would require os scripts and I don't know what platform you're testing on.

It's probably best if you just follow the steps I posted in the original post and then use jconsole to verify.

I added this https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HORNETQ-826

Thanks Hugh. About the test, if you can give a more simple and concrete steps to follow, that will save a lot time.

Thanks Yong,

I'm totally embarrased. It was just a syntax error which caused the fault.

When reproducing it I added the entries one at a time until the last 2 failed.

The error was even logged.

Sorry for the bother.

[gaohoward]

It's alright. I'm glad you solved the problm.

Can you help close this jira if no more problems? https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HORNETQ-826

Thanks
