How can I push messages from Activemq to Java Application

Question

Hi developers,

I want to write 2 .java files using JMS library names are MessageProducer and MessageConsumer.

I added activemq-all-5.8.0.jar and commons-io-2.4.jar files in my lib folder.and I changed port number of Activemq from 61616 to 61617.

using MessageProducer.java file,I will send messages to Activemq.For this I wrote code it's working fine.If you want to see click on this Link.

I want to send messages from Activemq to MessageConsumer.java.This is Application is in Apache Tomcat(http://localhost:8080/ExecutableFileProcess/MessageConsumer)

Once MessageConsumer receives the message, it separates the message-body from message and it just print on console(just for my testing).For this I wrote the following 2 java files.But it's not working.

MessageConsumer.java :

 package PackageName;
 import java.io.IOException;
 import javax.jms.Connection;
 import javax.jms.ConnectionFactory;
 import javax.jms.MessageListener;
 import javax.jms.Queue;
 import javax.jms.Session;
 import javax.servlet.ServletException;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
 import org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory;
 public class MessageConsumer extends HttpServlet {
@Override
protected void service(HttpServletRequest arg0, HttpServletResponse arg1)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
try {
    //creating connectionfactory object for way
    ConnectionFactory connectionFactory=new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("admin","admin","tcp://localhost:61617");
    //establishing the connection b/w this Application and Activemq
    Connection connection=connectionFactory.createConnection();
    Session session=connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
    Queue queue=session.createQueue("MessageTesing");
    javax.jms.MessageConsumer consumer=session.createConsumer(queue);
    //fetching queues from Activemq
    MessageListener listener = new MyListener();
    consumer.setMessageListener(listener);
    connection.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: handle exception
}

}
}

MyListener.java :

package PackageName;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageListener;
public class MyListener implements MessageListener {
public void onMessage(Message msg) {
    System.out.println(msg);
}
};

I didn't configure destination for Queue in Activemq console and also I didn't mention "destination" while sending message from MessageProducer.java.

I am using Eclipse.How can I print messagebody in console,Actually based on messagebody I will do some operations in my MessageConsumer.java.but for my testing I need to see messagebody.

I hope,you understand what I am trying.

I am new to JMSand Java,so can you explain clearly.So far I wrote the code using Google search.But I didn't find anywhere this issue.

can anyone suggest me.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Possibly your program just starts and terminates, because you have written the client to receive messages asynchronously (by using a MessageListener, in a different thread), and your main thread just terminates.

Try something like this:

                connection.start();

                System.out.println("Press a key to terminate");
                try {
                    System.in.read();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

                System.out.println("End");

this should keep your program running, until you hit a key.

To read the body of a TextMessage, use something like this (this is quoted from ActiveMQ hello world examples:

            if (message instanceof TextMessage) {
                TextMessage textMessage = (TextMessage) message;
                String text = textMessage.getText();
                System.out.println("Received: " + text);
            } else {
                System.out.println("Received: " + message);
            }

• creating connection creating/connecting to queue sending message receiving message
• You can use methods in it to send or receive any Serializable POJO.
