Messages silently getting dropped without any error to producers for disabled queues in ActiveMQ Artemis

Question

For Disabled Queues in ActiveMQ Artemis , when Producers(Java/Dotnet) sending messages , the messages are getting dropped silently without any error to the producers due to which neither producers nor consumers aware that the Queue is in Disabled state . Could you please check if there is any way artemis can send error messages to producers/Consumers for Disabled queues .

We are expecting some kind of error for disabled queues when producers trying to send messages to the queue .

Answer 1

This is the expected behavior for a disabled queue. There is currently now way to change this behavior as it is hard-coded to silently drop the messages. The documentation specifically notes:

Disabling all the queues on an address means that any message sent to that address will be silently dropped.
