Description

If I create two exchanges using the Web Management, exch1 and exch2, and make exch2 the alternate exchange of exch1, I expect to be prevented from deleting exch2 as exch1 refers to it. This does not happen. If I delete exch2 using Management, the operation apparently succeeds, but the object is recorded in the store as having desiredState DELETED. If I then go on to restart the Broker, the exchange is removed from the store. If I restart the Broker a second time, the VH goes into ERROR state as exch1 has a non-existent alternate exchange.
