Apache ActiveMQ ™ -- RSS and Atom

Connectivity > Protocols > RSS and Atom

We have added support for the RESTful browsing of message queues in the activemq-web module. To try out this feature try the Web Samples.

Browsing of queues is implemented by a servlet, QueueBrowseServlet which allows queues to be browsed using pluggable views. The current views supported are

Any properties on the view objects can be configured via reflection using query parameters. e.g. you can specify these common properties
