------------------------------------

             Summary: Provide address pattern examples highlighting use of both 
pattern separator characters
                 Key: DISPATCH-1578
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-1578
             Project: Qpid Dispatch
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.10.0
            Reporter: Ken Giusti
             Fix For: Backlog


Folks have been tripped up on a subtle property of the address pattern matching 
syntax:  that the separators '/' and '.' are equivalent.  They've attempted to 
configure two patterns which actually overlap.  Example:

 

pattern: foo.bar

and pattern: foo/bar

 

The documentation does mention this, however it would probably be more obvious 
with an example.  For example, highlight that

foo.bar.baz == foo/bar/baz == foo.bar/baz == foo/bar.baz == etc

The reason the router accepts both forms is that legacy applications tend to 
use the old amqp 0-10 pattern format ('.' is the separator) whilst the proposed 
AMQP addressing spec uses '/'.
