Why even my /topic destination prefixed with /queue/?

Hi - I'm using ActiveMQ 5.6.0 and PHP 5.3.13. I modified the first.php code in the examples directory as follows (to print the header information as well in the message).



connect("admin", "password");
// send a message to the queue
$con->send("/topic/test", "test");
echo "Sent message with body 'test'\n";
// subscribe to the queue
$con->subscribe("/topic/test");
// receive a message from the queue
$msg = $con->readFrame();

// do what you want with the message
if ( $msg != null) {
    $h = print_r($msg->headers, true);
    print "Received message with body:".  $msg->body . "\nHeaders:" . $h . "\n";
    // mark the message as received in the queue
    $con->ack($msg);
} else {
    echo "Failed to receive a message\n";
}

// disconnect
$con->disconnect();
?>

My output is:

Sent message with body 'test'
Received message with body:test
Headers:Array
(
    [message-id] => ID:oahu2-48499-1345054969918-2:28:-1:1:1
    [JMSXUserID] =>  admin
    [destination] => /queue//topic/test
    [timestamp] => 1345057533991
    [expires] => 0
    [priority] => 4
)

Questions:

Why is the destination prefixed with /queue/ even though I am sending it to a /topic?
Is ActiveMQ treating my message's destination as a topic or as queue?
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, PC
