Wildcards


Static queues and topics are assigned certain properties in the configuration file. These static queues and topics become the parents of dynamic queues and topics, which inherit properties from the parents. You must understand wildcards to understand the inheritance rules.

Wildcards * and >

To understand the rules for inheritance of properties, it is important to understand the use of the two wildcards, * and >.

Wildcards in Topics

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service enables you to use wildcards in topic names in some situations:

Wildcards in Queues

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service enables you to use wildcards in queue names in some situations. You can not send or receive to wildcard queue names. However, you can use wildcard queue names in the configuration files. The wildcard queue names in the configuration files must have non-wildcard children to send and receive messages.

For example, if the queue configuration file includes a line:

foo.* 

then users can create queues foo.bar, foo.bob, and so forth, but not foo.bar.bob.
