Description of problem: According to documentation (MPR), over 0-10, the Address converts a node name starting with a '#' character by inserting a UUID, This work well for all supported clients except the JMS client. Also, when the address string starts with '#' character the node shall be created (and removed on link close). Using JMS client the desired node is NOT created. Please see additional info for details. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qpid-java-*-0.22-6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. javac -cp CLASSPATH orapache.qpid.example.Drain -f "#q;{create: always}" 2. list queues (ie.: with qpid-config) 3. queue '#q' is listed instead of '<uuid>#q' 4. see Additional info Actual results: When the node name starts with '#' character: 1. uuid is NOT inserted before the node name 2. the node is NOT created Expected results: When the node name starts with '#' character: 1. uuid is inserted before the node name 2. the node is created and removed after the link is closed Additional info: JMS client: ./run_example.sh orapache.qpid.example.Drain -f "#q" Exception in thread "main" javax.jms.JMSException: Error registering consumer: org.apache.qpid.AMQException: The name '#q' supplied in the address doesn't resolve to an exchange or a queue C++ client: ./drain -t 1 "#q" & qpid-config queues; sleep 1; qpid-config queues [1] 28029 Queue Name Attributes ================================================================= 441d5b59-4f9f-4eb5-9a34-fe81b0f8efab:0.0 auto-del excl ea0b1fd1-ee6f-440f-82bd-016b049822db#q auto-del excl [1]+ Done ./qc2_drain -t 1 "#q" Queue Name Attributes ================================================================= 78abdff1-c255-441d-98d1-3277fe4cbc17:0.0 auto-del excl
