Async Message Queue

Foundation Communication supports a simple API that exposes API or async messaging. Although JMS being a standard we've found that many times other vendors can do better. Many such vendors are not JMS Compliant (like RabbitMQ) or have a richer non-jms API (like HornetQ core).

Following is an explanation on how to use and configure the Queue API.

API

The Main building blocks are:

• Message - Basic message POJO.
• MessageConsumer - basic interface that defines API available for message consumers.
• MessageProducer - basic interface that defines API available for message producers.
• HornetQMessagingFactory - This is the main API tp be used to instantiate new consumers and producers. This class supports a Per Thread lifecycle for HornetQ session, consumers and producers

Usage Example

Producer

final MessageProducer producer = HornetQMessagingFactory.createProducer("example");
producer.sendMessage("hello world!");

//optionally send message properties
Map<String,Object> props = new HashMap<String,Object>();
props.put("key1","value2");
producer.sendMessage("hello world!",props);
        }
