<Exchange Class>://<Exchange Name>/[<Destination>]/[<Queue>][?<option>='<value>'[&<option>='<value>']]

...

Using these options in conjunction with the Binding URL format should allow future expansion as new and custom exchange types are created.

The 'Destination' value is used in the Topic exchange as the topic name to subscribe to. The URL format requires that at least one Queue or routingkey option be present on the URL.

The routingkey would be used to encode a topic as shown in the examples section below.

Examples
