-----------------------------------

             Summary: Certain VirtualTopic configurations no longer send messages to the correct queue
                 Key: AMQ-6310
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6310
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Broker
    Affects Versions: 5.13.3, 5.13.2, 5.13.1, 5.13.0
            Reporter: Jonathan Malek


Several of our brokers have a VirtualTopic with the name {{VirtualTopic.>}} and a prefix of {{\*.\*.}}.  The expected behavior would be that a message sent to {{VirtualTopic.A}} should be consumed on a queue with any pattern that matches {{\*.\*.VirtualTopic.A}}.

For example, if a message is published to a topic called {{VirtualTopic.A}}, that would be consumed on queues {{Consumer.A.VirtualTopic.A}} and {{Subscriber.A.VirtualTopic.A}}.

However, since the change made in AMQ-6058, it appears that, given the example above, -neither- queue receives the message.  This is because the change performs a startsWith comparison of the destination against the prefix, rather than a regex comparison.

If there is a reason to prevent leading wildcards in the prefix, it should be documented, otherwise the sanity check in {{shouldDispatch}} needs to be updated to handle it.
