I have been using the C++ broker for the first time when doing some testing of the WCF client. When doing this, I have made some observations as a "new user":
1) the broker's default output logging level is nothing. If you start it up, it gives no indication that it is doing anything at all. Is this deliberate? I think it should really be INFO level, or at least some level that enables the user to see that it is listening on a port without running netstat. 2) the broker does not complain when you give it an option that it doesn't understand. For example: qpidbroker /eatmoremincepies doesn't yield any error or usage string. (After point 1, the curious user may try to get help with the /help argument). 3) How do you configure authentication in the windows broker? The info I read in one of the files in the distro didn't seem to apply for windows since it involved using a tool to create users. I had to disable authentication to get my client to run. RG
