> How can I get a message to be "journaled?" A message which is stored in the journal is a "persistent" or "durable" message. Every API and protocol handles this in a different but similar way. If you're using STOMP and you want your message to be stored in the journal then set the "persistent" header to "true".
> How can I get a message into the DLQ? First you have to configure the proper settings to send messages to a DLA when they fail delivery a certain number of times. Refer to the docs [1] on how to do that. Then the message has to fail delivery the configured number of times. A failed delivery could occur if, for example, a client receives a message, fails to acknowledge the message, and then the client closes its connection. > How can I, as an admin, view those messages? Use the web console.
