Where comes prefix jms.queue/ jms.topic from?

Question

I migrated my java spring-boot project from apache activemq to artemis.

I changed all relevant classpaths to artemis.jms.client, but somehow when I start the application, there will be topics with a prefix created like the following:

jms.topic.VirtualTopic.name

I just don't know where this jms.topic comes from. Does anyone have an idea?

Answer 1

ActiveMQ Artemis was designed from the ground up to be a multi-protocol broker. JMS queues and topics were differentiated from resources for other APIs and protocols by their use of the prefixes jms.queue. and jms.topic. respectively. However, as broker began to support more and more protocols this differentiation was identified as a hindrance to integration rather than an aid. Therefore in early 2017 with the release of version 2.0.0 the prefixes were removed.

You must be using a 1.x version (either of the broker or the client) which is quite old at this point. The current version is 2.14.0. I recommend you move to a more recent release.
