Hello. I'm trying out the ActiveMQ ajax messaging described at http://activemq.apache.org/ajax.html
.
I am able to send messages to a topic using this code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/amq/amq.js"></script>
<script>
amq.uri='/amq';
amq.sendMessage('topic://MY.DEMO', "<message item='hello again x'/
>");
</script>
When I run that snippet, I see (in the ActiveMQ admin application)
that the topic gets created and that the 'Messages Enqueued' value
goes to '1'.
Next, I try to subscribe to the topic using the following Javascript
(in a separate web page):
<script type="text/javascript" src="/amq/amq.js"></script>
<script>
amq.uri='/amq';
myHandler = {
rcvMessage: function(message) {
console.log( 'got message' );
}
};
amq.addListener('test_subscriber','topic://MY.DEMO',
myHandler.rcvMessage );
</script>
When I run this, I see the 'Number of Consumers' go to '1' in the
admin application. Using Firebug, I see amq.js performing a POST like
'destination=topic://MY.DEMO&message=test_subscriber&type=listen'.
This seems to be as expected based on the tutorial. I then see amq.js
perform a series of GET requests. The first is 'https://localhost:7998/amq?timeout=10&_='
, and successive GETs are 'https://localhost:7998/amq'.
All of these GETs are returned with empty responses, like '<ajax-
response></ajax-response>'. The first one appears to return
immediately, and the subsequent GETs time out after maybe 20-30 seconds.
When I next publish a new message to the topic, the 'Number of
Consumers' immediately goes to '0'. The consumer's current GET
request doesn't appear to return at this time, rather it seems to time
out just like the others. (I expected that ActiveMQ would return the
message to the consumer as soon as it was available, and then close
the connection.)
I noticed the following snippet from the logs from around the time a
message was published (while the consumer was active):
jvm 1 | DEBUG | Sent <message item='hello again x'/> to topic://
MY.DEMO
jvm 1 | DEBUG | RESPONSE /demo/amq 200
jvm 1 | DEBUG | message for ActiveMQMessageConsumer
{ value=ID:rutabaga.local-63558-1278527484508-2:1:1:1,
started=true }continuation=null
jvm 1 | DEBUG | localhost removing consumer:
ID:rutabaga.local-63558-1278527484508-2:1:1:1 for destination: topic://
MY.DEMO
I have 2 questions at the moment:
1. Why does my consumer not receive the messages published to the topic?
2. Why is my consumer unsubscribed when a message is sent?
Any help is appreciated.
regards,
alex
