WebSphere Message Service Clients for C/C++ and .NET, Version 1.2 Operating Systems: Linux, Windows

Destination wildcards

XMS provides support for destination wildcards, ensuring that wildcards can be passed through to the place where they are needed for matching. There is a different wildcard scheme for each server type that XMS can work with.

The schemes are:

Type of connection Wildcard scheme Description

WebSphere MQ queue manager

*

?

%

0 or more characters

1 character

Escape character

Real-time connection to a broker

#

+

Match multiple levels

Match a single level

WebSphere service integration bus

*

//

//.

Match any characters at one level in the hierarchy

Match 0 or more levels

Match 0 or more levels (at the end of a Topic expression)

For a comparison of wildcard characters used in WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker and WebSphere service integration technologies, see Topic names and use of wildcard characters in topic expressions, which appears under Learn about WebSphere applications -> Service integration -> Learning about bus destinations in the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0x Information Center.
