----------------------------------
Hi Jakub
I see no problem with this patch. The dot is legal in both queue names and
virtual hostnames from a AMQP 0.8..0-10 perspective, so I can see no reason why
you should not be able to specify these names in the config file too. I do
however think the patch would benefit from the additional of a unit test. I
would look at adding a test to ServerConfigurationTest and/or
VirtualHostConfigurationTest.
Be aware that we are planning to remove the config.xml and virtualhost.xml
files from the Broker at some point in the near future. It is envisaged that
all configuration will be stored in the store, and all objects (including
virtualhosts) will be created/destroyed via the management interfaces.
> Virtual hosts or queues with dots in their names do not work

> 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.
