Cannot send messages to / receive messages from JMS destinations with special names for native Artemis

[joshdcu]

Description

Spring Boot: v3.5.9
Spring Framework: v6.2.15

• JMS doesn't restrict the values for the destination names. Neither does Artemis as a JMS broker.

• Attempting to send messages to / receive messages from a JMS destination with a control character (ex: mailbox\r\n) fails when using Artemis in the native mode:

Reproduction

The reproduction is based on the JMS messaging guide on the Spring Boot documentation website

1. Ensure Java 21, a recent version of Maven, and Docker/Podman are installed on your machine.
2. Download the project ZIP (demo.zip) to your machine and extract it.
3. Build the app by running mvn clean package at the root of the project.
4. Launch Artemis as a container (version 2.40.0 is used to match the versions of the Artemis client and embedded Artemis server used by Spring 6.2.15 / Spring Boot 3.5.9):

podman run -d --name artemis -p 61616:61616 docker.io/apache/activemq-artemis:2.40.0-alpine

In both scenarios below, the JmsTemplate and JmsListener are configured to send a message to and receive a message from the mailbox\r\n queue.

Artemis in embedded mode

Run the app and see that the message is sent and received successfully:

java -jar target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

(The sample output is already provided above)

Artemis in native mode

Run the app with the repro Spring profile activated and observe failures in both the JmsTemplate and JmsListener:

java -Dspring.profiles.active=repro -jar target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

(The sample output is already provided above)

Other Notes

The failure due to permissions appears to be a red herring because the artemis user can successfully create queues without the control characters, and the message is sent and received successfully:

java -Dapp.destination.name=mailbox -Dspring.profiles.active=repro -jar target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Using the Artemis CLI packaged in the native Artemis broker, I am able to create a queue and address with control characters:

> podman run -d --name artemis -p 61616:61616 docker.io/apache/activemq-artemis:2.40.0-alpine
> podman exec -it artemis sh
# create the queue and address with control characters
/var/lib/artemis-instance $ bin/artemis queue create --anycast --auto-create-address --durable --preserve-on-no-consumers --address $'mailbox\r\n' --name $'mailbox\r\n' --user artemis --password artemis
Connection brokerURL = tcp://localhost:61616
Queue [name=mailbox
, address=mailbox
, routingType=ANYCAST, durable=true, purgeOnNoConsumers=false, autoCreateAddress=false, exclusive=false, lastValue=false, lastValueKey=null, nonDestructive=false, consumersBeforeDispatch=0, delayBeforeDispatch=-1, autoCreateAddress=false] created successfully.
# stat the queue to see the control characters
/var/lib/artemis-instance $ bin/artemis queue stat --user artemis --password artemis --verbose --json --queueName $'mailbox\r\n'
Executing org.apache.activemq.artemis.cli.commands.queue.StatQueue queue stat --user artemis --password artemis --verbose --json --queueName mailbox

However, I get the same exception as I did with Spring when I try to send a message to this queue:

[jhoeller]

From a quick glance, this does not look like a Spring-specific problem. Spring just uses the JMS API as usual, so if it fails with a Spring setup, it probably also fails with plain JMS API usage?

[joshdcu]

Yes, I believe you're right. I wasn't quite sure where to narrow the problem down to because it seems to work for Artemis in the embedded mode. However, I think the JMS API is used in that mode as well so I wonder what is causing the difference in behaviour 🤔
