<exchanges>
This element is commented out by default and is not mandatory. If required, you can use this to define additional AMQP exchanges for this virtual host. For example, if you want queues to be automatically created in the message broker during server startup, you need to specify the type of AMQP exchange to use and you need to update the <queues> element in this file with the required queue information. Note that amq.direct is the default exchange that should be used for queue creation.
<queues>
You can use this <queues> section and the <exchanges> element explained above to create new queues during server startup. You can find detailed instructions on the different methods of creating queues in WSO2 MB from here.
