How can I read or browse messages on a queue without consuming them?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Most queues and topics do not allow a user to read messages from a destination without actually "consuming" the message (Ack).

  • A user might need to read an entire message (into a file) for purposes of taking a sample to provide for analysis.

  • Hawtio does not show the entire message when it is browsed. A portion of the message is "cut-off" - especially if the message is large.

Environment

  • JBoss AMQ 7.x
  • JBoss AMQ 6.x
