get all queue names for activemq in java

Question

I'm trying to get all the names of the queues for activeMQ in java, I found couple topics here and here about that and people suggested using DestinationSource which I wasn't able to import in Eclipse when I was writing the code. I tried:

import org.apache.activemq.advisory.DestinationSource;

I'm using java 1.7 and latest activemq version 5.14.1. Any ideas if destinationsource is still supported or not? Thanks,

The easiest way to get a handle on this information is by using Jolokia, which is installed by default. To do this, use an HTTP client to issue a GET request to one of the following URIs:

http://localhost:8161/api/jolokia/search/*:destinationType=Queue,*
http://localhost:8161/api/jolokia/search/*:destinationType=Topic,*

You will need to pass in the JMX username and password (default: admin/admin) as part of the HTTP request. The system will respond with something along the lines of:

{ 
  "request" : { 
    "mbean" : "*:destinationType=Queue,*",
    "type" : "search"
  },
  "status" : 200,
  "timestamp" : 1478615354,
  "value" : [ 
    "org.apache.activemq:brokerName=localhost,destinationName=systemX.bar,destinationType=Queue,type=Broker",
    "org.apache.activemq:brokerName=localhost,destinationName=systemX.foo,destinationType=Queue,type=Broker",
    "org.apache.activemq:brokerName=localhost,destinationName=ActiveMQ.DLQ,destinationType=Queue,type=Broker"
  ]
}

The above shows the queues systemX.foo, systemX.bar, ActiveMQ.DLQ. Here's an example of using the curl command for this:

curl -u admin http://localhost:8161/api/jolokia/search/*:destinationType=Queue,* && echo ""

For a good explanation of how to use the Jolokia APIs, refer to the documentation.
