Using the AMQ OpenWire JMS Client

Red Hat AMQ 2021.Q3

For Use with AMQ Clients 2.10

Abstract

This guide describes how to install and configure the client, run hands-on examples, and use your client with other AMQ components.

Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Chapter 1. Overview

AMQ OpenWire JMS is a Java Message Service (JMS) 1.1 client for use in messaging applications that send and receive OpenWire messages.

Important

The AMQ OpenWire JMS client is now deprecated in AMQ 7. It is recommended that users of this client migrate to AMQ JMS or AMQ Core Protocol JMS.

AMQ OpenWire JMS is part of AMQ Clients, a suite of messaging libraries supporting multiple languages and platforms. For an overview of the clients, see AMQ Clients Overview. For information about this release, see AMQ Clients 2.10 Release Notes.

AMQ OpenWire JMS is based on the JMS implementation from Apache ActiveMQ. For more information about the JMS API, see the JMS API reference and the JMS tutorial.

1.1. Key features

  • JMS 1.1 compatible
  • SSL/TLS for secure communication
  • Automatic reconnect and failover
  • Distributed transactions (XA)
  • Pure-Java implementation

1.2. Supported standards and protocols

AMQ OpenWire JMS supports the following industry-recognized standards and network protocols:

1.3. Supported configurations

Refer to Red Hat AMQ 7 Supported Configurations on the Red Hat Customer Portal for current information regarding AMQ OpenWire JMS supported configurations.

1.4. Terms and concepts

This section introduces the core API entities and describes how they operate together.

Table 1.1. API terms

EntityDescription

ConnectionFactory

An entry point for creating connections.

Connection

A channel for communication between two peers on a network. It contains sessions.

Session

A context for producing and consuming messages. It contains message producers and consumers.

MessageProducer

A channel for sending messages to a destination. It has a target destination.

MessageConsumer

A channel for receiving messages from a destination. It has a source destination.

Destination

A named location for messages, either a queue or a topic.

Queue

A stored sequence of messages.

Topic

A stored sequence of messages for multicast distribution.

Message

An application-specific piece of information.

AMQ OpenWire JMS sends and receives messages. Messages are transferred between connected peers using message producers and consumers. Producers and consumers are established over sessions. Sessions are established over connections. Connections are created by connection factories.

A sending peer creates a producer to send messages. The producer has a destination that identifies a target queue or topic at the remote peer. A receiving peer creates a consumer to receive messages. Like the producer, the consumer has a destination that identifies a source queue or topic at the remote peer.

A destination is either a queue or a topic. In JMS, queues and topics are client-side representations of named broker entities that hold messages.

A queue implements point-to-point semantics. Each message is seen by only one consumer, and the message is removed from the queue after it is read. A topic implements publish-subscribe semantics. Each message is seen by multiple consumers, and the message remains available to other consumers after it is read.

See the JMS tutorial for more information.

1.5. Document conventions

The sudo command

In this document, sudo is used for any command that requires root privileges. Exercise caution when using sudo because any changes can affect the entire system. For more information about sudo, see Using the sudo command.

File paths

In this document, all file paths are valid for Linux, UNIX, and similar operating systems (for example, /home/andrea). On Microsoft Windows, you must use the equivalent Windows paths (for example, C:\Users\andrea).

Variable text

This document contains code blocks with variables that you must replace with values specific to your environment. Variable text is enclosed in arrow braces and styled as italic monospace. For example, in the following command, replace <project-dir> with the value for your environment:

$ cd <project-dir>

Chapter 2. Installation

This chapter guides you through the steps to install AMQ OpenWire JMS in your environment.

2.1. Prerequisites

  • You must have a subscription to access AMQ release files and repositories.
  • To build programs with AMQ OpenWire JMS, you must install Apache Maven.
  • To use AMQ OpenWire JMS, you must install Java.

2.2. Using the Red Hat Maven repository

Configure your Maven environment to download the client library from the Red Hat Maven repository.

Procedure

  1. Add the Red Hat repository to your Maven settings or POM file. For example configuration files, see Section B.1, “Using the online repository”.

    <repository>
      <id>red-hat-ga</id>
      <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga</url>
    </repository>
  2. Add the library dependency to your POM file.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
      <artifactId>activemq-client</artifactId>
      <version>5.11.0.redhat-630416</version>
    </dependency>

The client is now available in your Maven project.

2.3. Installing a local Maven repository

As an alternative to the online repository, AMQ OpenWire JMS can be installed to your local filesystem as a file-based Maven repository.

Procedure

  1. Use your subscription to download the AMQ Broker 7.8.2 Maven repository .zip file.
  2. Extract the file contents into a directory of your choosing.

    On Linux or UNIX, use the unzip command to extract the file contents.

    $ unzip amq-broker-7.8.2-maven-repository.zip

    On Windows, right-click the .zip file and select Extract All.

  3. Configure Maven to use the repository in the maven-repository directory inside the extracted install directory. For more information, see Section B.2, “Using a local repository”.

2.4. Installing the examples

Procedure

  1. Use your subscription to download the AMQ Broker 7.8.2 .zip file.
  2. Extract the file contents into a directory of your choosing.

    On Linux or UNIX, use the unzip command to extract the file contents.

    $ unzip amq-broker-7.8.2.zip

    On Windows, right-click the .zip file and select Extract All.

    When you extract the contents of the .zip file, a directory named amq-broker-7.8.2 is created. This is the top-level directory of the installation and is referred to as <install-dir> throughout this document.

Chapter 3. Getting started

This chapter guides you through the steps to set up your environment and run a simple messaging program.

3.1. Prerequisites

3.2. Running your first example

The example creates a consumer and producer for a queue named exampleQueue. It sends a text message and then receives it back, printing the received message to the console.

Procedure

  1. Use Maven to build the examples by running the following command in the <install-dir>/examples/protocols/openwire/queue directory.

    $ mvn clean package dependency:copy-dependencies -DincludeScope=runtime -DskipTests

    The addition of dependency:copy-dependencies results in the dependencies being copied into the target/dependency directory.

  2. Use the java command to run the example.

    On Linux or UNIX:

    $ java -cp "target/classes:target/dependency/*" org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms.example.QueueExample

    On Windows:

    > java -cp "target\classes;target\dependency\*" org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms.example.QueueExample

Running it on Linux results in the following output:

$ java -cp "target/classes:target/dependency/*" org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms.example.QueueExample
Sent message: This is a text message
Received message: This is a text message

The source code for the example is in the <install-dir>/examples/protocols/openwire/queue/src directory. Additional examples are available in the <install-dir>/examples/protocols/openwire directory.

Chapter 4. Configuration

This chapter describes the process for binding the AMQ OpenWire JMS implementation to your JMS application and setting configuration options.

JMS uses the Java Naming Directory Interface (JNDI) to register and look up API implementations and other resources. This enables you to write code to the JMS API without tying it to a particular implementation.

Configuration options are exposed as query parameters on the connection URI.

For more information about configuring AMQ OpenWire JMS, see the ActiveMQ user guide.

4.1. Configuring the JNDI initial context

JMS applications use a JNDI InitialContext object obtained from an InitialContextFactory to look up JMS objects such as the connection factory. AMQ OpenWire JMS provides an implementation of the InitialContextFactory in the org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory class.

The InitialContextFactory implementation is discovered when the InitialContext object is instantiated:

javax.naming.Context context = new javax.naming.InitialContext();

To find an implementation, JNDI must be configured in your environment. There are three ways of achieving this: using a jndi.properties file, using a system property, or using the initial context API.

Using a jndi.properties file

Create a file named jndi.properties and place it on the Java classpath. Add a property with the key java.naming.factory.initial.

Example: Setting the JNDI initial context factory using a jndi.properties file

java.naming.factory.initial = org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory

In Maven-based projects, the jndi.properties file is placed in the <project-dir>/src/main/resources directory.

Using a system property

Set the java.naming.factory.initial system property.

Example: Setting the JNDI initial context factory using a system property

$ java -Djava.naming.factory.initial=org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory ...

Using the initial context API

Use the JNDI initial context API to set properties programatically.

Example: Setting JNDI properties programatically

Hashtable<Object, Object> env = new Hashtable<>();

env.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory");

InitialContext context = new InitialContext(env);

Note that you can use the same API to set the JNDI properties for connection factories, queues, and topics.

4.2. Configuring the connection factory

The JMS connection factory is the entry point for creating connections. It uses a connection URI that encodes your application-specific configuration settings.

To set the factory name and connection URI, create a property in the format below. You can store this configuration in a jndi.properties file or set the corresponding system property.

The JNDI property format for connection factories

connectionFactory.<lookup-name> = <connection-uri>

For example, this is how you might configure a factory named app1:

Example: Setting the connection factory in a jndi.properties file

connectionFactory.app1 = tcp://example.net:61616?jms.clientID=backend

You can then use the JNDI context to look up your configured connection factory using the name app1:

ConnectionFactory factory = (ConnectionFactory) context.lookup("app1");

4.3. Connection URIs

Connections are configured using a connection URI. The connection URI specifies the remote host, port, and a set of configuration options, which are set as query parameters. For more information about the available options, see Chapter 5, Configuration options.

The connection URI format

<scheme>://<host>:<port>[?<option>=<value>[&<option>=<value>...]]

The scheme is tcp for unencrypted connections and ssl for SSL/TLS connections.

For example, the following is a connection URI that connects to host example.net at port 61616 and sets the client ID to backend:

Example: A connection URI

tcp://example.net:61616?jms.clientID=backend

Failover URIs

URIs used for reconnect and failover can contain multiple connection URIs. They take the following form:

The failover URI format

failover:(<connection-uri>[,<connection-uri>])[?<option>=<value>[&<option>=<value>...]]

Transport options prefixed with nested. are applied to each connection URI in the list.

4.4. Configuring queue and topic names

JMS provides the option of using JNDI to look up deployment-specific queue and topic resources.

To set queue and topic names in JNDI, create properties in the following format. Either place this configuration in a jndi.properties file or set corresponding system properties.

The JNDI property format for queues and topics

queue.<lookup-name> = <queue-name>
topic.<lookup-name> = <topic-name>

For example, the following properties define the names jobs and notifications for two deployment-specific resources:

Example: Setting queue and topic names in a jndi.properties file

queue.jobs = app1/work-items
topic.notifications = app1/updates

You can then look up the resources by their JNDI names:

Queue queue = (Queue) context.lookup("jobs");
Topic topic = (Topic) context.lookup("notifications");

Chapter 5. Configuration options

Chapter 6. Message delivery

6.1. Writing to a streamed large message

To write to a large message, use the BytesMessage.writeBytes() method. The following example reads bytes from a file and writes them to a message:

Example: Writing to a streamed large message

BytesMessage message = session.createBytesMessage();
File inputFile = new File(inputFilePath);
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(inputFile);

int numRead;
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

while ((numRead = inputStream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) != -1) {
    message.writeBytes(buffer, 0, numRead);
}

6.2. Reading from a streamed large message

To read from a large message, use the BytesMessage.readBytes() method. The following example reads bytes from a message and writes them to a file:

Example: Reading from a streamed large message

BytesMessage message = (BytesMessage) consumer.receive();
File outputFile = new File(outputFilePath);
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);

int numRead;
byte buffer[] = new byte[1024];

for (int pos = 0; pos < message.getBodyLength(); pos += buffer.length) {
    numRead = message.readBytes(buffer);
    outputStream.write(buffer, 0, numRead);
}

Appendix B. Using Red Hat Maven repositories

This section describes how to use Red Hat-provided Maven repositories in your software.

B.1. Using the online repository

Red Hat maintains a central Maven repository for use with your Maven-based projects. For more information, see the repository welcome page.

There are two ways to configure Maven to use the Red Hat repository:

Adding the repository to your Maven settings

This method of configuration applies to all Maven projects owned by your user, as long as your POM file does not override the repository configuration and the included profile is enabled.

Procedure

  1. Locate the Maven settings.xml file. It is usually inside the .m2 directory in the user home directory. If the file does not exist, use a text editor to create it.

    On Linux or UNIX:

    /home/<username>/.m2/settings.xml

    On Windows:

    C:\Users\<username>\.m2\settings.xml
  2. Add a new profile containing the Red Hat repository to the profiles element of the settings.xml file, as in the following example:

    Example: A Maven settings.xml file containing the Red Hat repository

    <settings>
      <profiles>
        <profile>
          <id>red-hat</id>
          <repositories>
            <repository>
              <id>red-hat-ga</id>
              <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga</url>
            </repository>
          </repositories>
          <pluginRepositories>
            <pluginRepository>
              <id>red-hat-ga</id>
              <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga</url>
              <releases>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
              </releases>
              <snapshots>
                <enabled>false</enabled>
              </snapshots>
            </pluginRepository>
          </pluginRepositories>
        </profile>
      </profiles>
      <activeProfiles>
        <activeProfile>red-hat</activeProfile>
      </activeProfiles>
    </settings>

For more information about Maven configuration, see the Maven settings reference.

Adding the repository to your POM file

To configure a repository directly in your project, add a new entry to the repositories element of your POM file, as in the following example:

Example: A Maven pom.xml file containing the Red Hat repository

<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>com.example</groupId>
  <artifactId>example-app</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>red-hat-ga</id>
      <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
</project>

For more information about POM file configuration, see the Maven POM reference.

B.2. Using a local repository

Red Hat provides file-based Maven repositories for some of its components. These are delivered as downloadable archives that you can extract to your local filesystem.

To configure Maven to use a locally extracted repository, apply the following XML in your Maven settings or POM file:

<repository>
  <id>red-hat-local</id>
  <url>${repository-url}</url>
</repository>

${repository-url} must be a file URL containing the local filesystem path of the extracted repository.

Appendix C. Using AMQ Broker with the examples

The AMQ OpenWire JMS examples require a running message broker with a queue named exampleQueue. Use the procedures below to install and start the broker and define the queue.

C.1. Installing the broker

Follow the instructions in Getting Started with AMQ Broker to install the broker and create a broker instance. Enable anonymous access.

The following procedures refer to the location of the broker instance as <broker-instance-dir>.

C.2. Starting the broker

Procedure

  1. Use the artemis run command to start the broker.

    $ <broker-instance-dir>/bin/artemis run
  2. Check the console output for any critical errors logged during startup. The broker logs Server is now live when it is ready.

    $ example-broker/bin/artemis run

C.3. Creating a queue

In a new terminal, use the artemis queue command to create a queue named exampleQueue.

$ <broker-instance-dir>/bin/artemis queue create --name exampleQueue --address exampleQueue --auto-create-address --anycast

You are prompted to answer a series of yes or no questions. Answer N for no to all of them.

Once the queue is created, the broker is ready for use with the example programs.

C.4. Stopping the broker

When you are done running the examples, use the artemis stop command to stop the broker.

$ <broker-instance-dir>/bin/artemis stop
