Asked by Edward Farrenkopf

Suppose I publish to a topic to which no one is subscribed. Is there some sent back that says no one is currently subscribed?

Hi,

No, the publisher doesn't know anything about where the message ends
up, unless you build this into your application.

Cheers,

Roger

Thanks Roger.

If I may, just one more question. I was reading the code and looking at the logs and noticed that it looks like the publisher is added as a subscriber to the topic. Is this true?

No, that is not the case, although you could subscribe to the same topic
you are publishing to if you wished of course.
