Hi all, I'm working on a feature for Artemis where the use-case is the ability to compute or alter a messages destination through a divert. In doing so there is a possibility that the new destination might not exist on the broker. There is some debate around how to handle this.
The current behavior is to silently drop the messages in this scenario. There are currently two proposed solutions: 1. Handle it with the already existing "auto-create" logic, which is subject to the address settings auto-create-addresses and auto-create-queues. -Downside is that this might break a pre-existing use-case where these messages are expected to fail. 2. Gate the same functionality with a new address-setting like: "auto-create-divert-destinantions" -Downside here is that since the destination is not known beforehand, lookups for the particular address settings in question will either be made on each diverted message or some additional mechanism has to be put in place to manage this. I'm looking for feedback on how you all feel this should be handled. Personally I feel the current behavior is a bit strange and should be considered a bug, so I would prefer solution 1. To handle the case where someone might expect this type of behavior, a note about this change could be added to the brokers versions-page about the change in semantics along with a suggestion to use something like a "black-hole" destination for these messages instead.
