[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBMESSAGING-594) Consider having just one post office instance

Consider having just one post office instance --------------------------------------------- Key: JBMESSAGING-594 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-594 Project: JBoss Messaging Issue Type: Task Affects Versions: 1.0.1.CR5 Reporter: Tim Fox Assigned To: Tim Fox Fix For: 1.2.0.Beta1 We should consider whether it is possible to have just one post office instance per server, instead of the current queue and topic post office. We currently have two since a queue and a topic can have the same name so we would need to distinguish whether we wanted to rout to a topic or a queue in some other way. We should also bear in mind that the post office is supposed to be generic and not have any knowledge of what a "topic" is (this is a JMS term). In the future we will want to do wildcard based routing for topic hierarchies or content based routing, so the routing key cannot just be some "destination" class. One possibility is to change the PostOffice interface to take a "RoutingKey" type as opposed to a string. We could then subclass or implement this interface for different post office types.
