21.3.2. Streaming over JMS

When using JMS, HornetQ maps the streaming methods on the core API (see Table 21.1, “org.hornetq.api.core.client.ClientMessage API”) by setting object properties. You can use the method Message.setObjectProperty to set the input and output streams.
The InputStream can be defined through the JMS Object Property JMS_HQ_InputStream on messages being sent:
BytesMessage message = session.createBytesMessage();

FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(fileInput);

BufferedInputStream bufferedInput = new BufferedInputStream(fileInputStream);

message.setObjectProperty("JMS_HQ_InputStream", bufferedInput);

someProducer.send(message);
The OutputStream can be set through the JMS Object Property JMS_HQ_SaveStream on messages being received in a blocking way.
BytesMessage messageReceived = (BytesMessage)messageConsumer.receive(120000);
                
File outputFile = new File("huge_message_received.dat");
                
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
                
BufferedOutputStream bufferedOutput = new BufferedOutputStream(fileOutputStream);
                
// This will block until the entire content is saved on disk
messageReceived.setObjectProperty("JMS_HQ_SaveStream", bufferedOutput);
Setting the OutputStream could also be done in a non-blocking way using the property JMS_HQ_OutputStream.
// This will not wait the stream to finish. You need to keep the consumer active.
messageReceived.setObjectProperty("JMS_HQ_OutputStream", bufferedOutput);

Note

When using JMS, Streaming large messages are only supported on StreamMessage and BytesMessage.
