I'm not sure AMQ and Apollo are the same. I can tell you what happens in AMQ, derived from my empirical observations, since, as you noted, the documentation is not really useful when we are into details. > Specifically: if a SUBSCRIBE id:id01;destination:/topic/foo;persistent:true;; > is issued > when an EXISTING global id:id01; destination:/topic/bah;persistent:true;; > already exists, > what happens to active subscribers of the id01 subscription? > > This is a repeat subscription with a different topic but the same > id. subscriptions are identified with client id and subscription id, not by destination, so those two will be different if issued from different client ids.

The only way to kill a subscription was to delete it in the web interface. I've reported it here, but was asked to provide a unit test. Since I'm an admin and not really familiar with all the tools used in the modern Java development (took me couple of days just to get AMQ built) I'm guessing it will take me another couple of months to create a test case ;) > The STOMP spec is silent on all semantic issues and the ActiveMQ Apollo > specification > seems to imply that the subscription is destroyed when the UNSUBSCRIBE is > issued, > but it doesn't say what is supposed to happen when a distinct topic > destination is > defined for an existing durable topic subscription. In AMQ destination doesn't matter, see above.
