Matt Pavlovich commented on ARTEMIS-550: ---------------------------------------- The key features of Virtual Topics in ActiveMQ 5.x that differentiate it from just being 'JMS 2.0 topics' is that the consumption is in a different destination altogether, and that consumption is handled by a queue-- which supports wider range of consuming options-- exclusive consumer, etc. Use case 1: Cross-cluster pub-sub, localized consumption * Broker A is configured to include topic://vTopic.> in network of brokers AND exclude queue://vTopicConsumer.> in network connector to Broker B. Use case 2: Localized pub-sub, cross-cluster consumption * Broker A is configured to exclude topic://vTopic.> in network of brokers AND include queue://vTopicConsumer.> in network connector to Broker B. Since publishing and subscribing is done in different destinations, additional messaging patterns are possible. For competitive and comparison purposes it should be noted that IBM MQ has the exact same feature. > Add support for virtual topic consumers > --------------------------------------- > > Key: ARTEMIS-550 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-550 > Project: ActiveMQ Artemis > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Broker > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Reporter: Benjamin Graf > Assignee: Martyn Taylor > > Artemis should support virtual topic consumers as alternative to topic > subscriptions as ActiveMQ itself does. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
