Perhaps there are (at least) two issues here:
1. How many colons?
The “grammar” activemq:destinationType:destinationName can’t possibly under any
interpretation yield a sentence with one colon, so something like
activemq:[destinationType:]destinationName is more correct.
2. What are the destinationTypes?
The text in activemq.adoc says [queue|topic] but JmsEndpoint has
```
@UriPath(defaultValue = "queue", enums = "queue,topic,temp-queue,temp-topic",
description = "The kind of destination to use")
private String destinationType;
```
indicating 4 possibilities.
——
Is the syntax string from the java code used programmatically, or is it purely
documentation?
Looking at several of these in the docs, I have some trouble telling what is a
literal and what is a name of a path option.
I would prefer the syntax expression to indicate optional path options and to
distinguish between literals and options. So, for activemq it would look like
activemq:[<destinationType>:]<destinationName>
I wonder if it would be useful also to point out in the hand-written URI Format
section that this is a simplification of what is completely described in the
Endpoint Options section.
I haven’t considered how hard it would be to update the syntax source and docs
for all the components, but if it is agreed to be a good idea I’d consider it.
