Is it possible to have a queue of dead letters for individual queues

I currently have a queue on my ActiveMQ server named hello.world

. Whenever a message is not processed, ActiveMQ creates a default directory ActiveMQ.DLQ

. Is it possible to change this name to something like hello.world.DLQ

? The reason is that in the future I might have multiple queues and I want it to be something like<queue_name>.DLQ

The thing you are looking for is called Individual Dead letter Queue strategy

, in this process ActiveMQ creates a specific DLQ for each queue / topic,

you can implement it like this: by changing slightly activemq.xml 

 <destinationPolicy>
    <policyMap>
      <policyEntries>
       <policyEntry queue=">">  <!-- '>' is the wildcard used in ActiveMQ which means for all queues, i.e. same as '*' in any other language -->
        <!-- need to add the following lines in you conf file -->
          <deadLetterStrategy>
            <individualDeadLetterStrategy
              queuePrefix="DLQ." useQueueForQueueMessages="true" />
          </deadLetterStrategy>
        </policyEntry>
      </policyEntries>
    </policyMap>
  </destinationPolicy>


this config will create DLQ with type names DLQ.<queue_name>

, if you don't want a prefix you can remove the attribute queuePrefix

.

hope this helps!

Good luck!
