After reading the wiki, I see the following: This means that a client can create a new Queue or Topic dynamically either by calling createQueue() or createTopic() on a JMS Session creating an instance of ActiveMQTopic or ActiveMQQueue and possibly registering them in JNDI
This still isn't telling me how ActiveMQ knows when to create the ActiveMQ.DLQ. Are you saying that the client would have to dynamically create it, or again, is it something at the server side system config that's telling it to create a DLQ if messages cant be delivered, expired, etc?

If you want to have destinations created when the broker starts up, you could do something like this in the activemq.xml file: <broker xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core";> <destinations> <queue physicalName="FOO.BAR" /> <topic physicalName="SOME.TOPIC" /> </destinations> </broker> but it's not necessary....
