Proton Ruby Example

ActiveMQ can be configured to accept requests from any AMQP client that supports the 1.0 version of the protocol. This example shows a simply proton ruby client that sends and receives messages

To run the example you will need the following packages installed, alsa-lib.i686 libXv.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686 qt.i686 qt-x11.i686 qtwebkit-2.2.2-2.fc18.i686, gcc, ruby

On fedora you can install these via the yum install alsa-lib.i686 libXv.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686 qt.i686 qt-x11.i686 qtwebkit-2.2.2-2.fc18.i686, gcc, ruby command

you will also need the qpid-proton libraries installed, again yum install qpid-proton

lastly you wull have to create the gems gem install qpid_proton

To configure ActiveMQ to accept AMQP client connections you need to add an Acceptor like so:

     
     <acceptor name="proton-acceptor">
        <factory-class>org.apache.activemq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyAcceptorFactory</factory-class>
        <param key="protocol" value="AMQP"/>
        <param key="port" value="5672"/>
     </acceptor>
     
     

Example step-by-step

Firstly start the server by running the command mvn verify

Then in a separate window you can run the send ruby script by running the command ruby src/main/scripts/send.rb

You can then receive the message via the receive ruby script by running ruby src/main/scripts/receive.rb
