How to fix negative address size when listening to wildcard address?

Question

Error in Artemis Console

AMQ222214: Destination /queue/app/xxx has an inconsistent and negative address size

---

Scenario

• The message is available in /queue/app/xxx
• The JMSListener is listening to /queue/app/*

     @JmsListener(destination = "/queue/app/*")

All of a sudden, the error started appearing and the queue seems to be blocked and the listener does not get any new non-persistent/non-durable messages. The same setup worked for some time.

---

Observation

• It seems like, the culprit is that I have kept the auto-create-expiry-resources feature turned on. So, on expiry of a message the expiry-queue is created for both the wildcard-queue(/queue/app/*) and the actual-queue(/queue/app/xxx). Post this event, the error starts appearing.
• This issue only impacts the non-persistent/non-durable messages

Any comments on how to fix this?

Answer 1

There's already a couple of Jiras open related to this:

• ARTEMIS-2768
• ARTEMIS-2859

You can either wait for them to be fixed or contribute a fix yourself. Code contributions are always welcome.
