Another follow up question: What exactly is meant by "they can't be<br>
shared"? Is the exclusivity limited to reading, or does it encompass<br>
both reading and writing?<br>
<br>
<br>
any operation on the queue<br>
</div></blockquote>
<br>
More specifically, any queue.* method in AMQP.<br>
<br>
Note that publishers never 'write' to queues but publish messages to exchanges. So they are not affected by a queue's exclusivity.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
