There are no architectural considersations. It is purely a case of following the spec. I have little interest in how other jms implementations break the spec, especially on a method that is explicity described as non-portable.
I don't see how it can be made portable. Although most vendors implement the JMS spec in a fairly literal manner, the jms api can be used to wrap disparate messaging systems. e.g. it could wrap an e-mail system, then you could have: Queue queue = session.createQueue("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); Topic mailingList = session.createTopic("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); My prefered solution would be for the spec to standardize on a set of jms messages that could be sent to a spec defined destination (e.g. JMS_ADMIN) to configure the server. e.g. | ... | QueueSender sender = session.createSender(jmsAdmin); | AdminMessage adminMessage = session.createAdminMessage(); | adminMessage.setType(AdminMessage.CREATE_TOPIC); | adminMessage.setName("MyTopic"); | adminMesasge.setProperty(...); | adminMessage.setRoles(...); | sender.send(adminMessage); | But I guess that suggestion will have to wait until work starts on JMS2.0, there are no plans for such a review that I'm aware of.
