Overview

A message store is a store for JMS messages in a JDBC database. It gives better scalability and query capabilities than holding messages in XML files.

Configuration

The default JDBC URL is jdbc:derby:MessageStores;create=true. This will create the MessageStores directory using Derby in your .hermes directory. You can override this to be any JDBC URL with the property hermes.messageStore.url

When a database is used for the first time, Hermes will automatically create the tables it needs to store the messages.

Features

View the message store and replay tutoirals. Currently you can:

• Edit Messages in a message store
• Drop messages into a store from a queue or topic.
• Drag messages from a store onto a queue or topic.
• Record messages into a store from a queue or topic. For a queue this means taking a snapshot of the queue with a QueueBrowser, for a topic Hermes just keeps reading messages from the topic and storing them until you stop it.
• Browse all the messages in the store or browse by originating topic or queue
• Delete individual messages, all messages from a queue/topic or an entire message store
• Replay messages from a message store.
