Hi,
Is this fixed? If so, what version of artemis? I'm currently using artemis
version 2.42.0 downloaded a few months ago and it's not auto delete queues and
addresses? Below is my broker.xml config:
<address-settings>
<address-setting match="#">
<redistribution-delay>0</redistribution-delay>
<!-- Enable automatic deletion of queues -->
<auto-delete-queues>true</auto-delete-queues>
<!-- Delay before deleting (in milliseconds) -->
<auto-delete-queues-delay>86400000</auto-delete-queues-delay>
<!-- Maximum message count threshold -->
<auto-delete-queues-message-count>0</auto-delete-queues-message-count>
<!-- Skip queues with consumers even if message count is met -->
<auto-delete-queues-skip-usage-check>false</auto-delete-queues-skip-usage-check>
</address-setting>

I believe I see what is happening. During the auto-delete process the broker
checks the address to see if it has any "bindings" (e.g. a queue).
If so, it doesn't delete it. In the case of a retroactive address, there is a
special divert binding which is part of what implements the retroactive
functionality. Due to the presence of this divert, the broker will not
auto-delete a retroactive address.
I'm working on a fix now.
