How to dynamically define an anycast routing type for an address when using AMQ .NET clients

Resolution

Open the broker.xml file and set the anycastPrefix on the acceptor which the client is using as the example below shows:

<acceptor name="amqp">tcp://0.0.0.0:5672?protocols=AMQP;anycastPrefix=anycast://</acceptor>

Afterward, use an anycast prefix in the client before specifying the address name:

anycast://example

The example above will automatically create a single queue within the matching address example, in a point-to-point manner.

See a C# example code creating a producer and connecting to a broker to dynamically define an anycast routing type:

using System;
using Amqp;

namespace hello_world
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {


           string    url = (args.Length > 0) ? args[0] :                       
                "amqp://guest:guest@127.0.0.1:5672";
            string target = (args.Length > 1) ? args[1] : "anycast://example";           
            int     count = (args.Length > 2) ? Convert.ToInt32(args[2]) : 10;  

            Address      peerAddr = new Address(url);                           
            Connection connection = new Connection(peerAddr);                   
            Session       session = new Session(connection);
            SenderLink     sender = new SenderLink(session, "send-1", target);  

            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {

                Message msg = new Message("Test " + i);                       
                sender.Send(msg);                                               
                Console.WriteLine("Test: " + msg.Body.ToString());
            }

            sender.Close();                                                     
            session.Close();
            connection.Close();
        }
    }
}
