8.4. JMS browsing

A browser that inspects the messages on a JMS destination without consuming them is key to troubleshooting a distributed message system. Inspecting the messages can help you understand why messages are backing up or why they are being discarded too soon.

In addition to inspecting JMS destinations, the debugging tooling allows you to add messages to them. This feature enables you to add controlled test cases into the system for detailed analysis.

Fuse JMX Navigator shows all of the JMS destinations deployed in your infrastructure. When you select a destination from the tree, a list of the messages sitting in it are listed in Messages View. Messages View displays the basic properties of the message.

Selecting one of the messages in Messages View displays all of that message's details, including the full message body, in the Properties viewer.

You can simply drag messages from Project Explorer, Package Explorer, or Messages View and drop them on any JMS destination displayed in Fuse JMX Navigator or in Fabric Explorer.
