This sample shows how to enumerate messages residing in a Queue or Topic subscription without locking and/or deleting them. This feature is typically used for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes and/or for tooling built on top of Service Bus.
Read more about message browsing in the documentation.
Refer to the main README document for setup instructions.
The sample sends a set of messages into a queue and then enumerates them. When you run the sample repeatedly, you will see that messages accumulate in the log as we don't receive and remove them.
You will also observe that expired messages (we send with a 2 minute time-to-live setting) may hang around past their expiration time, because Service Bus lazily cleans up expired messages no longer available for regular retrieval.
The sample is documented inline in the MessageBrowse.java file.
