Description

Hi,
Am using AMQ 5.5. I would like to disable the option of sending dead letters to ActiveMQ.DLQ destination and completely discard (automatically) the messages that would be sent there otherwise. To do this I had configured the broker as below:

        <amq:destinationPolicy>
            <amq:policyMap>
              <amq:policyEntries>
                <amq:policyEntry topic=">" producerFlowControl="false" >
                    <amq:deadLetterStrategy>
                          <amq:sharedDeadLetterStrategy processExpired="false" />
                    </amq:deadLetterStrategy>
                </amq:policyEntry>
                <amq:policyEntry queue=">" producerFlowControl="false">
                    <amq:deadLetterStrategy>
                          <amq:sharedDeadLetterStrategy processExpired="false" />
                    </amq:deadLetterStrategy>
                </amq:policyEntry>

              </amq:policyEntries>
            </amq:policyMap>
        </amq:destinationPolicy>

However, I still see that the messages are getting stored in DLQ. Can you please let me know what could be causing this?
Do I need to fix anything in the config?

Thanks
Hari
