Ok so I'm implementing it using a queue then theres no change at all to the consumer code. a couple of slight issues are that when i create the new queue i need to copy the references out of the actual queue before allowing the new queue to start receiving messages. Ive added a createQueueCopy method on session to do this. Also since queue browsers don't need the connection(session) to be started I'm adding a flag on consumer to ignore the stopping/starting of the session and start straight away.
