Hi Dejan - the below example will work fine, however, it doesn't solve our need. We need to be able to create queues and topics programmatically (createQueue) and I want to avoid having to write something out to jndi.properties to do this. Also, most of our lookups currently have "/"'s in the name and I found you can't easily do this, like: queue/domain/qname = some/physical/name
A little more background: we were using jboss mq to handle messaging, but after some debate decided to move away. Jboss would force us to write out a mbean xml containing the queue or topic and that would be accessible in jndi lookups. I really like ActiveMQ but as I have said we have to be able to create queues & topics in code and support the ability to find them by doing jndi lookups -- without having to manually bounce the server or otherwise append to some properties file. Hope that helps in clarity...
