Hi Matt,

I don't see any reason why virtual topics would not work when sending
messages using standard producer and work when sent though web
console. It's a complex environment you have, so I'd suggest you
trying to narrow it down if possible.

Try seeing what's happening to the destination in some of those cases,
by turning debug logging and watching JMX parameters on the
destinations and subscriptions.

Also, if possible try to isolate the broker.

I hope this helps a bit.
