Hi Chris, REST API doesn't support durable topic subscribers. But there's a couple of ways to achieve that:
- use virtual topics (http://activemq.apache.org/virtual-destinations.html) - as you're planning to use Apache HttpClient, you can consider using http protocol (http://activemq.apache.org/http-and-https-transports-reference.html) and use JMS API - also consider using Stomp protocol (http://stomp.github.com/) instead of REST Regards -- Dejan Bosanac Senior Software Engineer | FuseSource Corp. dej...@fusesource.com | fusesource.com skype: dejan.bosanac | twitter: @dejanb blog: http://www.nighttale.net ActiveMQ in Action: http://www.manning.com/snyder/ On Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 11:03 PM, Chris Williams <chris.d.willi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is it possible to configure ActiveMQ so I can "subscribe" to a jms > topic persistently using the REST HTTP protocol?
