[jira] [Resolved] (QPID-4874) Alternate exchange unable to set from REST

["Keith Wall (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4874?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Keith Wall resolved QPID-4874.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

This has been implemented in 0.29. The Exchange model object can now be updated via the REST API. 

e.g.

curl -u admin -p -X PUT  -d '{"alternateExchange": "amq.direct"}' http://localhost:8080/api/v2/exchange/default/default/myexch

The Web UI does not yet expose this field.

> I haven't seen any JIRA covering this issue yet. Setting an alternate exchange on the exchange is not possible now from the REST interface (e.g. using curl / web management).
> The only way how one can set an alternate exchange is using the proper address from the JMS client and passing it to the _MessageProducer_:
> {noformat}
> "ADDR:test-exch; {create: always, node:{type: topic,x-declare: {alternate-exchange:'amq.fanout'}}}"
> {noformat}
> The exchange _test-exch_ will then keep reference to the alternate exchange _amq.fanout_. However, listing the exchange using the _curl_ will fail (produce endless output). I assume that the problem is caused by Json mapper, having problems to write object which is not _ConfiguredObject_ (in this case it is _FanoutExchange_). This problem is reproducible by creating the exchange with alternate exchange reference using the address above and listing the exchange(s) with curl command. I think the solution can be to return the alternate exchange name (and not an object) from the _ExchangeAdapter.java_ as I illustrated in the attached patch.
