JAkub Scholz created QPID-4238:
----------------------------------
Summary: Virtual hosts or queues with dots in their names do not
work
Key: QPID-4238
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4238
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java Broker
Affects Versions: 0.19
Reporter: JAkub Scholz
Fix For: 0.19
The latest version of the Qpid Java broker seems to have a problem with the
virtual hosts and queues containing a dot in their name. This is related to the
way the virtualhosts.xml configuration file is designed. When a queue is
defined, the <queue> tag contains only the <name> tag with the queue name and a
tag named after the queue which contains additional details. E.g.
<queue>
<name>queue.with.dot.in.the.name</name>
<queue.with.dot.in.the.name>
<durable>true</durable>
</queue.with.dot.in.the.name>
</queue>
Unfortunately the dots are also used as special characters when working with
the configuration file - they are used as delimiters in the XML hierarchy. In
order to use them in the tag names, they need to be escaped with additional dot
(i.e. queue..with..dot..in..the..name instead of queue.with.dot.in.the.name -
http://commons.apache.org/configuration/userguide-1.2/howto_xml.html). This
escaping doesn't seem to be currently done on the broker. As a result, the dots
cannot be used in virtual host names or in queue names, which might be
unfortunate for some users.
