| <div class="wiki-content maincontent"><p>You can browse queues, can you browse a topic?</p> |
| |
| <p>No. But then consuming messages on a topic does not affect any other consumers, so you don't need to 'browse' per se, just subscribe.</p> |
| |
| <p>i.e. browsing is necessary on queues as you wanna see what messages there are without removing them. For topics, everyone who's interested gets a copy of the message so just do a regular subscribe.</p> |
| |
| <p>One nice to have feature would be to expose durable subscriptions as a logical queue, so you could browse outstanding messages on a durable subscription as if it were a queue (see <a shape="rect" href="https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-25">AMQ-25</a> to track this feature request)but its not in any way standard JMS.</p></div> |
