Rajith Attapattu commented on QPID-3769:
----------------------------------------

I discussed this with Rafi a fair bit before arriving at a solution.

I don't think comparing the subject is the right approach for every situation.
Comparing the subjects might make sense for Topics, but not for Queues. Also at 
the time equals is called we may not know the 'type'. We could look at the 
resolved property to determine this. Otherwise what are we going to do ?

What should we do for exchanges with more complicated routing algorithms like 
Headers or XML exchange where the subject is not a factor at all ? It gets 
complicated real soon when you look beyond the simple cases.

If you look at it from a high level pov, we send messages to either a Queue or 
an Exchange. They are the "destinations". So one could argue that if you are 
sending to the same  "exchange" then you are sending to the same destination. I 
think that has a stronger argument that than what you are suggesting.

How messages are matched onto queues is a function of the exchange. And it's 
something that we should not try to factor into our equals implementation.
