How does one purge/drain a destination? (standalone)

[mr_dronski]

I can't seem to find the action in JMX interface. The closest one was removeMessage(filter), although not yet sure on the filter syntax for 'all' messages.

[jmesnil]

an empty string for the filter means "no filter" and will in effect remove all the messages

[jmesnil]

fyi, I've documented this behavior in the documentation as it was not mentioned explicitely.

hope that helps.

Thanks Jeff, I used an empty string in jconsole, but was then looking at MessageCount, which stayed 0. Also, the remove operation always returned 0.

Now I am confused, as MessageCount always stays at 0, but it is the MessagesAdded that grows. What is the correlation between them? Any ideas why this could happen?

Thanks,
Andrew

Nevermind the last question, I was dumb, forgot that my testcase (written way back) consumes all messages in verify phase :) Disabling it had messages stay on the queue.

We should add an overloaded operation which does not take a filterstring as a param
