Thanks. I configured a queue in the broker.xml file and re started artemis. Added the queue element inside the core element like this
<core> <queues> <queue name="myQ"> <address>myQ</address> <durable>false</durable> </queue> </queues> </core> and I get this [vncuser@qa-centos7x64-102 broker1]$ curl --head http://localhost:8161/queues/myQ HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2018 18:54:20 GMT Cache-Control: must-revalidate,no-cache,no-store Content-Type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Length: 325 Server: Jetty(9.4.z-SNAPSHOT) -- Sent from: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-User-f2341805.html
