A Queue can be declared via xml in the <tomee-home>/conf/tomee.xml file or in a WEB-INF/resources.xml file using a declaration like the following. All properties in the element body are optional.

<Resource id="myQueue" type="javax.jms.Queue">
    destination = 
</Resource>

Alternatively, a Queue can be declared via properties in the <tomee-home>/conf/system.properties file or via Java VirtualMachine -D properties. The properties can also be used when embedding TomEE via the javax.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer API or InitialContext

myQueue = new://Resource?type=javax.jms.Queue
myQueue.destination = 

Properties and xml can be mixed. Properties will override the xml allowing for easy configuration change without the need for ${} style variable substitution. Properties are not case sensitive. If a property is specified that is not supported by the declared Queue a warning will be logged. If a Queue is needed by the application and one is not declared, TomEE will create one dynamically using default settings. Multiple Queue declarations are allowed.
