Ability to publish to dynamic JMS Topics

A challenge we have encountered with WebMethods is the strict reliance on topics being defined in JNDI, either in part or their entirety. 

For example, where we may be dealing with vehicle data, the source system generates events for these vehicles where we have no control on when vehicles will be added to the source system; e.g events may publish to t/fleet/tyrepressure/dz0234 where dz0234 is the dynamic portion of the topic string, and subscribers will filter against t/fleet/tyrepressure/*

If the interface could be extended to with a flag to toggle the need to validate, topic and queues in terms of lookup, and blindly trust that they exist.

    Apologies for the late response and update on this idea.

    We had initially discussed this item internally late last year and came away with an approach that would address the request generically allowing customers to continue to allow users of JMS to pass any queue/topic name of choice (including wildcards as in this case) and not be reliant on the JNDI as is by default. The use of wildcards as presented in the example depends on what is supported by the provider being used in terms of lookup.

    Based on this epic's demand and other requests related to the same idea, we are looking to implement a solution to this and providing updates for this in the coming quarter. I will provide an update once we have a more definite release update geared towards the feature.

With our change to Solace MQ as our company messaging backbone, we have also decided to use dynamic topics. Instead of publishing our messages to a dedicated queue (that is defined in JNDI), we publish all our messages to "dynamic" topics. As thes...
