<h1>JMS Topic Selector Example 2</h1>
<p>This example shows you how to selectively consume messages using message selectors with topic consumers.</p>
<p>Message selectors are strings with special syntax that can be used in creating consumers. Message consumers
that are thus created only receive messages that match its selector. On message delivering, the ActiveMQ
Server evaluates the corresponding message headers of the messages against each selector, if any, and then delivers
the 'matched' messages to its consumer. Please consult the JMS 1.1 specification for full details.</p>
<p>In this example, three message consumers are created on a topic. The first consumer is created with selector
<code>'color=red'</code>, it only receives messages that
have a 'color' string property of 'red' value; the second is created with selector <code>'color=green'</code>, it
only receives messages who have a 'color' string property of
'green' value; and the third without a selector, which means it receives all messages. To illustrate, three messages
with different 'color' property values are created and sent.</p>
<h2>Example step-by-step</h2>
<p><i>To run the example, simply type <code>mvn verify -Pexample</code> from this directory</i></p>
<ol>
<li>First we need to get an initial context so we can look-up the JMS connection factory and destination objects from JNDI. This initial context will get it's properties from the <code>client-jndi.properties</code> file in the directory <code>../common/config</code></li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>InitialContext initialContext = getContext();</code>
</pre>
<li>We look-up the JMS topic object from JNDI</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>Topic topic = (Topic) initialContext.lookup("/topic/exampleTopic");</code>
</pre>
<li>We look-up the JMS connection factory object from JNDI</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>ConnectionFactory cf = (ConnectionFactory) initialContext.lookup("/ConnectionFactory");</code>
</pre>
<li>We create a JMS connection</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>connection = cf.createConnection();</code>
</pre>
<li>We start the connection</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>connection.start();</code>
</pre>
<li>We create a JMS session. The session is created as non transacted and will auto acknowledge messages.</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);</code>
</pre>
<li>We create a JMS message producer on the session. This will be used to send the messages.</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>MessageProducer messageProducer = session.createProducer(topic);</code>
</pre>
<li>We create two selectors.</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>
String redSelector = "color='red'";
String greenSelector = "color='green'";
</code>
</pre>
<li>We Create a JMS Message Consumer that receives 'red' messages.</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>
MessageConsumer redConsumer = session.createConsumer(topic, redSelector);
redConsumer.setMessageListener(new SimpleMessageListener("red"));
</code>
</pre>
<li>We Create a second JMS Message Consumer that receives 'green' messages.</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>
MessageConsumer greenConsumer = session.createConsumer(topic, greenSelector);
greenConsumer.setMessageListener(new SimpleMessageListener("green"));
</code>
</pre>
<li>We Create another JMS Message Consumer that receives all messages.</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>
MessageConsumer allConsumer = session.createConsumer(topic);
allConsumer.setMessageListener(new SimpleMessageListener("all"));
</code>
</pre>
<li>We Create three messages, each has a different color property.</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>
TextMessage redMessage = session.createTextMessage("Red");
redMessage.setStringProperty("color", "red");
TextMessage greenMessage = session.createTextMessage("Green");
greenMessage.setStringProperty("color", "green");
TextMessage blueMessage = session.createTextMessage("Blue");
blueMessage.setStringProperty("color", "blue");
</code>
</pre>
<li>We send the messages to the topic</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>
producer.send(redMessage);
System.out.println("Message sent: " + redMessage.getText());
producer.send(greenMessage);
System.out.println("Message sent: " + greenMessage.getText());
producer.send(blueMessage);
System.out.println("Message sent: " + blueMessage.getText());
</code>
</pre>
<li>And finally, <b>always</b> remember to close your JMS connections and resources after use, in a <code>finally</code> block. Closing a JMS connection will automatically close all of its sessions, consumers, producer and browser objects</li>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>finally
{
if (initialContext != null)
{
initialContext.close();
}
if (connection != null)
{
connection.close();
}
}</code>
</pre>
</ol>
