Using the C++ messaging client (v0.7), is it possible to declare an
exchange by creating a Sender and closing it without ever sending a
message, assuming I use the right address with type:exchange and
create:always?
Yes, although the type should be 'topic'.
Similarly, is it possible to declare a queue and its bindings by
creating a Receiver and closing it without trying to receive a message?
The address has type:exchange, create:always and a list of bindings in
the x-bindings part.
The address the there should be 'queue'. The x-bindings should be
declared in the node, not the link (else they will be unbound when the
link, i.e. the receiver, is closed).
If the above is incorrect, can you please suggest another way which does
not force me to send/receive any messages?
It's not incorrect.
Personally, I dislike the approach (though it will work). It creates
things as a side effect and isn't really the intended use case.
My preference is to send the broker special management messages to
request creation of 'static' broker entities such as exchanges and
shared queues. It allows a more explicit approach to broker management
which I think is nicer. However that has only been possible on the
broker since 0.10.
