IBrowser Interface

A Browser allows client applications to look at messages spooled on Endpoints without removing them. Messages are browsed from oldest to newest. After being browsed, messages are still available for consumption over normal flows. However, it is possible to selectively remove messages from the persistent store of an Endpoint, in this case, these removed messages will no longer be available for consumption. One typical application is to use browsers to allow message bus administrators to remove “stuck” Guaranteed messages from an endpoint without having to modify or disrupt existing applications. A message can get stuck if: It hass been received by an application, but for some reason, that application has failed to acknowledge it. All active message selectors have failed to match this particular message and therefore the message bus has not delivered it to any client yet. The current release only supports browsing Endpoints of type Queue. Note that the delivery restrictions imposed by the queue’s Access type (exclusive or non-exclusive), do not apply when browsing messages with a Browser.
