4.6.2. Declaring a Last Value Queue

Last Value Queues are created by supplying a qpid.last_value_queue_key when creating the queue.

For example, to create a last value queue called stock-ticker that uses stock-symbol as the key, using qpid-config:

qpid-config add queue stock-ticker --argument qpid.last_value_queue_key=stock-symbol

To create the same queue in an application:

Both string and integer values can be provide as the last value. Using the example queue created above, valid values for the stock-symbol key would include "RHT", "JAVA", and other string values; and also 3, 15, and other integer values.
