ActiveMQ NMS - Queue And Topic

Storage in Queue & Topic

 

Messages for Queues and Topics are stored slightly differently, and match delivery semantics for the point-to-point and publish/subscribe message domains. Storage of Queues are straightforward, they are basically stored in first in, first out order (FIFO) - see Figure 4.1, with only one message being dispatched between one of potentially many consumers. When that message has been consumed, it can be deleted from the store.

 

For durable subscribers on a Topic, each consumer gets a copy of the message - but in order to save space (some messages can be very large!) messages are in fact only stored once. A durable subscriber object in the store maintains a pointer to its next stored message - and dispatches a copy of it to its consumer - as shown in Figure 4.2. A message store is implemented in this way for durable subscribers because durable subscribers will be consuming messages at different rates; and may not be active at the same time. In addition, as every message can potentially have many consumers, a message cannot be deleted from the store until it has been delivered to every interested consumer.

 

NMS Code in Queue & Topic

 

- Topic or Queue Publisher

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Apache.NMS; using Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ; namespace ActiveMQ { public class Program { //create a publisher static void Main(string[] args) { //Create the Connection Factory IConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory("failover:(tcp://localhost:61616,tcp://localhost:61617)"); using (IConnection connection = factory.CreateConnection()) { //Create the Session using (ISession session = connection.CreateSession()) { //Create the Producer for the topic/queue //Totpic IMessageProducer prod = session.CreateProducer( new Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ.Commands.ActiveMQTopic( "testing")); /* * Queue IMessageProducer prod = session.CreateProducer( new Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ.Commands.ActiveMQQueue( "testing")); */ //Send Messages int i = 0; while (!Console.KeyAvailable) { ITextMessage msg = prod.CreateTextMessage(); msg.Text = i.ToString(); Console.WriteLine("Sending: " + msg.Text); prod.Send(msg, MsgDeliveryMode.Persistent, MsgPriority.AboveNormal, TimeSpan.MinValue); System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(250); i++; } } } Console.ReadLine(); } } }

 

- Topic or Queue Subscriber

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Apache.NMS; using Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ; namespace ActiveMQSubscriber { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //Create the Connection factory IConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory("failover:(tcp://localhost:61616,tcp://localhost:61617)"); //Create the connection using (IConnection connection = factory.CreateConnection()) { connection.ClientId = "testing listener 1"; connection.Start(); //Create the Session using (ISession session = connection.CreateSession()) { //Create the Consumer //Totpic IMessageConsumer consumer = session.CreateDurableConsumer( new Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ.Commands.ActiveMQTopic( "testing"), "testing listener", null, false); /* * Queue IMessageConsumer consumer = session.CreateConsumer( new Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ.Commands.ActiveMQQueue( "testing")); */ consumer.Listener += new MessageListener( consumer_Listener); Console.ReadLine(); } } } static void consumer_Listener(IMessage message) { Console.WriteLine("Receive: " + ((ITextMessage)message).Text); } } }
