Apache Camel JMS/AMQP component create destination queue only if required - spring-boot

I am currently working on an Integration application that uses Camel with Spring Boot. There is a camel route in integration application that receive messages from source Artemis broker that is transformed and sent to another Artemis broker.
The camel route looks like this:
from(sourceQueue).process(transformProcessor).to(destinationQueue)
When the camel route starts, it recreates the queue names mentioned in the from and to and the previous messages are lost. We do not expect this to happen.
One way I found to do this is in the Artemis ActiveMQ broker.xml, disable the queue and topic auto creation and create the queue(s) using Artemis API.
My question is, can we configure camel JMS / AMQP component to create the queue only if it is not present and if present use the existing ones?

By default Camel will use DynamicDestinationResolver. You can create your own custom DestinationResolver and plug it in your endpoint (or into your component)
.to("jms:queue:myQueue?destinationResolver=MyCustomDestinationResolver");
You can also use JndiDestinationResolver, which by default does not fallback into creating a dynamic destination.

I don't know Artemis but it sounds weird for a broker to delete a queue with its messages. At least its "brother" ActiveMQ has by default the behavior you expect: queues are automatically created if they do not exist, but they just stay if they already exist.
Are you sure the queues are recreated on route start? Are these queues persistent? Could it be that a consumer just drains the queue? I also found a queue attribute of Artemis named auto-delete-queues that would delete the queue if it was drained by a consumer.
auto-delete-queues Whether or not to the broker should automatically delete auto-created JMS queues when they have both 0 consumers and 0 messages.

Performance issues with ActiveMQ Artemis and Spring JmsTemplate

While doing some load tests with the ActiveMQ Artemis broker and my Spring Boot application I am getting into performance issues.
What I am doing is, sending e.g. 12,000 messages per second to the broker with JMSeter and the application receives them and saves them to a DB. That works fine. But when I extend my application by a filter mechanism, which forwards events after saving to DB, back to the broker using jmsTemplate.send(destination, messageCreator) it goes very slow.
I first used ActiveMQ 5.x and there this mechanism works fine. There you could configure the ActiveMQConnectionFactory with setAsyncSend(true) to tune performance. For the ActiveMQ Artemis ConnectionFactory implementation there is no such a possibility. Is there another way to tune performance like in ActiveMQ 5.x?
I am using Apache ActiveMQ Artemis 2.16.0 (but also tried 2.15.0), artemis-jms-client 2.6.4, and Spring Boot 1.5.16.RELEASE.
The first thing to note is that you need to be very careful when using Spring's JmsTemplate to send messages as it employs a well-known anti-pattern that can really kill performance. It will actually create a new JMS connection, session, and producer for every message it sends. I recommend you use a connection pool like this one which is based on the ActiveMQ 5.x connection pool implementation but now supports JMS 2. For additional details about the danger of using JmsTemplate see the ActiveMQ documentation. This is also discussed in an article from Pivotal (i.e. the "owners" of Spring).
The second point here is that you can tune if persistent JMS messages are sent synchronously or not using the blockOnDurableSend URL property, e.g.:
tcp://localhost:61616?blockOnDurableSend=false
This will ensure that persistent JMS messages are sent asynchronously. This is discussed further in the ActiveMQ Artemis documentation.

Is It possible if i have put message to ActiveMq jms and consume it from RabbitMq jms?

I am new to jms,
I have did poc of spring jms with ActiveMq. In which I am producing messages in queue and consume it using consumer and one poc in which I am using spring jms with rabbitmq with producer and consumer and have added plugin of jms in rabbit mq to use spring jms with rabbitmq.
Is it Possible if I put Produce message in active MQ and Consume that messages using spring jms rabbitmq consumer?
Is It possible if yes then How?
Thanks in advance.
ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ are two different brokers - why do you need (and why do you think it's possible) to send messages to one broker and receive them from another?
You would need another application to move the messages; it's not clear why you would want to do that.
Typically, you would need an adapter layer to move the JMS messages from one MQ to another (i.e., active MQ to Rabbitmq etc.).
You can look here for some notes (IBM specific) on JMS adapters, but the underlying concept is the same i.e., consuming from one MQ and producing the messages to another MQ.

How to get properly all queue messages from RabbitMQ in Spring?

I am using Spring, Spring-Websocket, STOMP for my application, and RabbitMQ as broker. I need to log all messages going through RabbitMQ to Postgresql tables.
I know that I can write #MessageMapping in Spring and log there, but my problem is that some clients talk to RabbitMQ directly through MQTT protocol, and Spring does not support it yet (https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-12581). Moreover browser clients talk through Spring to RabbitMQ using STOMP protocol.
RabbitMQ allows to track all messages using Firehose tracer. How to properly listen to amq.rabbitmq.trace topic from Spring? Or do I need to write separate Java app as consumer?
The Spring AMQP is for you!
You bind some custom queue to to that amq.rabbitmq.trace with appropriate pattern (e.g. publish.#) and configure SimpleMessageListenerContainer to receive messages from that queue.
It can be done even with pretty simple config: #EnableRabbit and #RabbitListener on some POJO method. Anyway the Binding #Bean must be there to attache your queue to that exchange.

What does Spring JMS ActiveMQ use to determine when a broker should switch Exclusive Consumers?

An exclusive consumer in Activemq is one that is sent every message from a broker until the consumer dies or goes away, at which time the broker switches consumer.
What is it that defines when the switchover takes place? How do you configure this in Spring JMS/ActiveMQ?
It's not Spring JMS doing the checking; it's the JMS provider, ActiveMQ.
JMS is an API specification; an empty framework, essentially. ActiveMQ provides the implementation backing for managing connections, message brokering, load-balancing, fail-over, etc.
The ActiveMQ broker handles switching-over consumers based on queue properties (you don't need to do anything special in your code):
queue = new ActiveMQQueue("TEST.QUEUE?consumer.exclusive=true");
The switch-over takes place when either the consumer disconnects gracefully or the broker determines that the consumer has disappeared (via the wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration elapsing without any messages or keep-alives being received). You don't have to configure anything if you're happy with the default value of wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration (30 seconds), but you can tweak that if you want to change how long it takes before the broker gives up on a client.

Bridge between ActiveMQ and MSMQ

Let's say there is an ActiveMQ as JMS broker which is fed by a master system based on java.
One of the consumers can work with MSMQ only (and we can do nothing with it)
Question Is there an easy way to forward jms text in jms messages in ActiveMQ topic to some message at MSMQ destination?
Underlying jms message contains the text of an xml file.
Depends a bit on your preferences, but a simple Camel route in ActiveMQ dispatching messages to MSMQ can do this easily - GIVEN you run your AMQ on Windows.
Camel does not really support MSMQ, but you can use some simple java lib to dispatch messages inside a java processor.
