hi guys.

I’d like to add some code to app, that checks for existence of a topic, if it does not exist it creates it… to my specs.

anyone have example code specifying at basic,  
name, protection level, retention, partitions.

… Request to development…  
when using the CibtrolCenter… allow the user, instead of save/execute command to show the command to be executed.
