I looked again at your original message, and realized that another (simpler, and therefore probably more likely) interpretation of what you wrote is that you're only seeing messages sent to topic VirtualTopic.Test appearing in queue Consumer.A.VirtualTopic.Test when the consumer is connected. So I'll assume for now that I misinterpreted your question when I first reply, and respond based on this simpler interpretation here.
I set up a pair of simple unit tests where the first sends a message to VirtualTopic.Test and the second attempts to receive a message from Consumer.A.VirtualTopic.Test. If I run the producer test and then the consumer test, I receive a message in the consumer test, which proves that this feature works (for 5.14.5, the broker version I'm testing with; you didn't say what version you're using, so I can't say whether it's the same version you're using). So if the simpler interpretation of your question is right, the behavior you're seeing is not because the broker doesn't work properly for this feature. Are you sure that no message is getting enqueued in the queue when a message is sent to the topic and the consumer is offline? To confirm that, do the following: - Ensure that your consumer has attempted to consume from Consumer.YOURCONSUMERNAME.VirtualTopic.YOURTOPICNAME, and then disconnect the consumer - Attach a JMX viewer such as JConsole to the broker - Navigate to the Consumer.YOURCONSUMERNAME.VirtualTopic.YOURTOPICNAME MBean, then view it's attributes - Note the EnqueueCount value - Ensure that your consumer is disconnected - Have your producer publish one and only one message to topic VirtualTopic.YOURTOPICNAME - Refresh the attributes of the Consumer.YOURCONSUMERNAME.VirtualTopic.YOURTOPICNAME MBean - Note the EnqueueCount value If the value increased by 1, then the broker is functioning properly, and your inability to consume messages from the queue isn't because the virtual topic isn't working properly. (Maybe the message is expiring before being consumed?) If the value didn't increase, then the behavior you're seeing doesn't match what I'm seeing, and we'll have to dig into it further.
