I don't believe the client has a global flag to do that, no. The current 'Address' string syntax for the client requires the application specify the behaviour it wants. When using the older 'BindingURL' format ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/qpid/BindingURLFormat) for destination strings the client will automatically create queues when creating a consumer, but not when creating producers.
As you have noticed, Destination strings are provider-specific in nature. The way you would insulate your code from changes to make it more portable would be to use JNDI to provider the provider-specific configuration for them and then look them up in a provider-neutral manner. http://qpid.apache.org/releases/qpid-0.24/programming/book/QpidJNDI.html Robbie On 11 October 2013 10:16, Graham Leggett <minf...@sharp.fm> wrote: > On 11 Oct 2013, at 9:38 AM, Robbie Gemmell <robbie.gemm...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > You can control creation of queues through options in your destination > > strings, e.g instructing your producers/consumers/both to ensure the > queue > > is created when they start up. > > > > The documentation for the address strings is at: > > > http://qpid.apache.org/releases/qpid-0.24/programming/book/section-addresses.html > > > > A simple example showing an address (the bit in quotes) indicating for > both > > consumers and producers to create the queue is: > > > http://qpid.apache.org/releases/qpid-0.24/programming/book/section-addresses.html#idm241445126208 > > Is there a way to set this globally, or do we have to make qpid-specific > changes to our code to do this? > > What I am trying to achieve is that the service that requires the queues > is self sufficient, if the queues don't exist they're just created and the > application just gets on with it, while at the same time being portable. > Unfortunately the JMS spec has dictated to everybody that queue creation > must be done manually by an administrator[1], which adds an unnecessary > point of failure for us that I am very keen to avoid. > > [1] > http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/1.4/api/javax/jms/Session.html#createQueue%28java.lang.String%29 > > Regards, > Graham > -- > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@qpid.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@qpid.apache.org > >
