We have APIs for AMQP client operations, but we don't have a command line interface for performing such operations from a shell environment. I propose we introduce something like the following. This is just a braindump, so I invite your comments. $ qpid-client queue.declare --name q0 --durable $ qpid-client exchange.declare --name e0 $ qpid-client queue.bind --name q0 --exchange e0 --binding-key a.b.c $ qpid-client message.transfer ... qpid-client <class>.<method> <arg0>...<argN> This tool would speak AMQP and nothing else. It should probably be written in C++, to avoid extra dependencies in restricted deployments. The wiring commands are the first priority, since they are needed by JMS users.
qpidc-0.2.656926-1.el5 and qpidd-0.2.656926-1.el5 have been pushed to the staging repo for testing
Tools qpid-config, qpid-tool (and qpid-route, ...) serve for those purposes (python-qpid package). Implemented as of 21st June 2009 and going to be in MRG 1.1.1 release: python-qpid-0.5.752581-1.el5 and python-qpid-0.5.760500-2.el4 ->VERIFIED
