Description

Invoking e.g. method for moving messages from a queue to another with an invalid filter like:

(in qpid-tool)

call 120 queueMoveMessages SrcQueue DstQueue 0

{'qpid.subject':'key2'}

will produce an error in qpidd log:

2012-07-31 11:50:14 error Ignoring unrecognized message filter: '

{qpid.subject:key2}

'

but the messages are moved from SrcQueue to DstQueue. So having an invalid filter in a QMF method raises an error log but otherwise the filter is ignored and method applied. And the method returns zero as usual.

The correct way would be not performing the method, as invalid parameter has been supplied.
