Re: Delete/Purge Topic

[Tim Bain <tb...@alumni.duke.edu>]

The topic deletion URL you found sounds like it should work, though it's
not something I've ever played with. Does it work as expected for you?

The command line tools have a way to purge messages from a destination (see
the purge task at the bottom of
http://activemq.apache.org/activemq-command-line-tools-reference.html), but
I've not used it so I can't say for sure that it allows purging of both
queues and topics. Even if it allows purging of topics, you'd still need to
provide a means to invoke it remotely (i.e. write your own simple REST
webapp and run it on the broker host), so simply deleting the topic via
REST sounds like the better option to me.

Hi
I am sorry there was a mistake in the previous question

Using jolokia api I am able to delete a topic but when topic(with the same
name that was deleted) is again created somehow subscribers are not getting
registered.


Do they re-subscribe if you restart the consumer (but not the broker)? Is
the problem only that the consumers don't react to the deletion by
reconnecting automatically, or are you describing a larger problem? Also,
what if anything do you see in the consumer logs at the time you delete the
topic?

Also on web console, I am able to see that subscribers have destination name
as the topic name.

if a topic is removed, why does the subscribers have the deleted topic name
as a destination?


I'm not understanding what you're describing (or maybe I'm not
understanding why you think it's incorrect); a topic is a type of
destination, so "topic name" and "destination name" mean the same thing and
so it's no surprise to me that they have the same value. Could you share a
screenshot of the web console to illustrate what you mean? And maybe one
from just before you delete the topic, to highlight what changed in ways
you weren't expecting.

if activemq is restarted(that i dont want to do), these subscribers are
removed. is it an expected behavior?


Are you saying that the consumers don't reconnect after a broker restart?
Or are you describing a different problem?

I don't understand what you're saying is wrong, so I'm not sure how to
help.

This sounds like expected behavior. If you have code that subscribes to a
topic, and you run it after deleting the topic, your code will once again
subscribed to the (newly re-created) topic. What were you expecting/hoping
would happen instead?

If I restart AMQ, then loose all the messages from topic


This question is unrelated to your question about deleting topics, right?
If not, please explain the connection. Otherwise, have you verified that
your producers are sending persistent messages? Non-persistent messages are
stored in the memory store and do not survive a broker restart.

If this is unrelated to the problem of deleting a topic, let's split this
particular question out into a separate thread.

(i dont have to
re-start amq)


How should I interpret this? (Other than to agree that in general, no one
goes around forcing other people - including you - to restart their
ActiveMQ brokers.) What information are you trying to communicate with this
sentence?

Please suggest
