<p>We have added support for the <link><page ri:content-title="REST"></page></link>ful browsing of message queues in the <strong>activemq-web</strong> module. To try out this feature try the <link><page ri:content-title="Web Samples"></page></link>.</p>

<p>Browsing of queues is implemented by a servlet, <strong>QueueBrowseServlet</strong> which allows queues to be browsed using pluggable views. The current views supported are</p>

<table><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>View name</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Description</p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>simple</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Renders a list of &lt;message&gt; elements with an id attribute</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>xml</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Uses XStream to render the entire messages as XML</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>rss</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Uses <a shape="rect" href="https://rome.dev.java.net/">Rome</a> to render the messages as an RSS 0.9*, 1.0, 2.0 or Atom 0.3 feed. You can configure the type of feed using the <strong>feedType</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table>


<p>Any properties on the view objects can be configured via reflection using query parameters. e.g. you can specify these common properties</p>

<table><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Parameter</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Description</p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>contentType</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Override the MIME content type of the view</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>maxMessages</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>The maximum number of messages to render</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
