I have a requirement to store the configuration of HornetQ inside our database (don't ask why), and what I would like to know, is, is it possible to configure HornetQ through some kind of API once I am connected to it?

What I primarily want to configure first of all, is such things as the queues themselves, if they are durable, etc., then at a later date, I want to be able to configure more advanced features such as forwarding rules, clustering, etc.

One option I could have is to manipulate the configuration file directly, or even generate it, and then let the server pick up the configuration when it launches, but this could be error prone when dealing with upgrades.

Any thoughts/suggestions around this topic?

Thanks
