[rabbitmq-discuss] status Active in Management web portal

Wed Mar 14 19:59:14 GMT 2012

I have a queu and a client that will continuously poll the queu so at
any given moment I do not have an active consumer. However the web
management portal still shows the queue as as active which is correct
given my application. The question is how dose the portal determine
this and can I get access to this status programmatically?

I am using Spring AMQP but I can dial back to the real rabbit api if
needed. I alos looked a the HTTP API and did not see any equivalent to
the Status active which is displayed in the web portal.
