CachedMessageQueue

Message queue that caches received messages in memory to allow peek operations that may not be supported by the undelying queue.

Extends: MessageQueue

Implements: ICleanable

Description

The CachedMessageQueue class allows you to create message queues that cache received messages in memory, to allow peek operations that may not be supported by the undelying queue.

Important points

  • This queue is used as a base implementation for other queues.

Constructors

Creates a new instance of the persistence component.

CachedMessageQueue(String? name, MessagingCapabilities? capabilities)

  • name: String? - (optional) queue name
  • capabilities: MessagingCapabilities? - (optional) capabilities of the message queue

Fields

_autoSubscribe

Boolean variable indicating whether a message queue auto-subscribes or not.

_autoSubscribe: boolean

_messages

List of messages in a queue.

_messages: List<MessageEnvelope?>

_receiver

Message receiver.

_receiver: IMessageReceiver?

Instance methods

clear

Clears component state.

@override

Future<void> clear(String? correlationId): Promise<void>

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

configure

Configures a component by passing its configuration parameters.

@override

void configure(ConfigParams config)

  • config: ConfigParams - configuration parameters to be set.

endListen

Ends listening for incoming messages. When this method is called, listen unblocks the thread and execution continues.

void endListen(String? correlationId)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

listen

Listens for incoming messages and blocks the current thread until the queue is closed. See IMessageReceiver, receive

@override

void listen(String? correlationId, IMessageReceiver receiver)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
  • receiver: IMessageReceiver - receiver used to receive incoming messages.

open

Opens the component.

@override

Future open(String? correlationId)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

peek

Peeks a single incoming message from the queue without removing it. If there are no messages available in the queue it returns null.

@override

Future<MessageEnvelope?> peek(String? correlationId)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
  • returns: Future<MessageEnvelope?> - peeked message or null.

peekBatch

Peeks multiple incoming messages from the queue without removing them. If there are no messages available in the queue it returns an empty list.

Important: This method is not supported by MQTT.

@override

Future<List<MessageEnvelope?» peekBatch(String? correlationId, int messageCount)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
  • messageCount: int - maximum number of messages to peek.
  • returns: Future<List<MessageEnvelope?» - list with peeked messages.

readMessageCount

Reads the current number of messages in the queue to be delivered.

@override

Future<int> readMessageCount()

  • returns: Future<int> - number of messages in the queue.

receive

Receives an incoming message and removes it from the queue.

@override

Future<MessageEnvelope?> receive(String? correlationId, int waitTimeout)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
  • waitTimeout: int - timeout in milliseconds to wait for a message to come.
  • returns: Future<MessageEnvelope?> - received message or null.

sendMessageToReceiver

Sends a message to a receiver.

Future sendMessageToReceiver(IMessageReceiver? receiver, MessageEnvelope? message)

subscribe

Subscribes to the message broker.

Future subscribe(String? correlationId)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

unsubscribe

Unsubscribes from the message broker.

Future unsubscribe(String? correlationId)

  • correlationId: String? - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
