I grabbed the OpenWire C client and tried to use it and quickly discovered that it wasn’t really supported, and it didn’t really work. It was more a proof of concept.
So I decided to write a C client for OpenWire, by understanding how the marshalling worked in Java and making it work in a C environment. I quickly realized this was a deep rabbit hole and wasn’t looking forward to going down it. While I could get it to work, it wasn’t something I wanted to be dependent upon for mission critical code. Then I discovered STOMP. It is a much simpler protocol than OpenWire, and well supported by ActiveMQ. So I went down that path and never went back. If you are working in something other than Java or C++, consider STOMP for connecting to ActiveMQ. This is the package I used: http://svn.codehaus.org/stomp/trunk/c/src/stomp.c On Aug 20, 2014, at 5:33 PM, Timothy Bish <tabish...@gmail.com> wrote: > The OpenWire C client hasn't been touched in years and is not supported, so > expect that it will have many, many bugs. — Karl Kraft 415-449-9445 k...@karlkraft.com
