Examples

The following command prints the JMS message header, custom message header, and message body of all the messages in the queue TEST.FOO on a broker:
JBossA-MQ:karaf@root>activemq:browse --amqurl tcp://localhost:61616 TEST.FOO
The following command displays the attributes from the body of the messages in the TEST.FOO queue:
JBossA-MQ:karaf@root>activemq:browse --amqurl tcp://localhost:61616 -Vbody TEST.FOO
The following command displays any messages with an ID ending in 10:
JBossA-MQ:karaf@root>activemq:browse --amqurl tcp://localhost:61616 --msgsel JMSMessaageID='*:10' TEST.FOO
The following command displays messages with a priority of 3, enter:
JBossA-MQ:karaf@root>activemq:browse --amqurl tcp://localhost:61616 --msgsel JMSPriority=3 TEST.FOO
The message selectors from the preceding two examples can be combined as follows:
JBossA-MQ:karaf@root>activemq:browse --amqurl tcp://localhost:61616 --msgsel JMSMessaageID='*:10',JMSPriority=3 TEST.FOO
