Description

Currently the jobs send to the job handler might contain queue configuration information, like a queue name, parallel settings etc. These props are used to create queues. This approach has a least two potential problems:

• What happens if two jobs specify the same queue name with different settings?
• The developer creating the code to send the job might not be the person deciding what is processed in which queue and how

Therefore it would make more sense to have a queue as a configuration in the ConfigAdmin . this would make maintenance easier and allows to have a single place for queue configurations. Of course the old props should still be supported for compatibility.

The configurations can then be easily added, viewed and monitored through the web console.

The main queue is a configuration which is always available
