MemoryMessageQueue

Message queue that sends and receives messages within the same process by using shared memory.

Extends: MessageQueue

Description

The MemoryMessageQueue class is used to create message queues that send and receive messages within the same process by using shared memory.

Important points

  • This queue is typically used for testing to mock real queues.

Configuration parameters

  • name: name of the message queue

References

  • *:logger:*:*:1.0 - (optional) ILogger components to pass log messages
  • *:counters:*:*:1.0 - (optional) ICounters components to pass collected measurements

Constructors

Creates a new instance of the message queue.

public MemoryMessageQueue(String name)

  • name: String - (optional) a queue name.

Instance methods

abandon

Returns a message into the queue and makes it available for all subscribers to receive it again. This method is usually used to return a message that could not be processed at the moment to repeat the attempt. Messages that cause unrecoverable errors shall be removed permanently or/and sent to dead letter queue.

public void abandon(MessageEnvelope message)

clear

Clears the component’s state.

public void clear(IContext context)

  • context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.

close

Closes the component and frees used resources.

public void close(IContext context)

  • context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.

complete

Permanently removes a message from the queue. This method is usually used to remove the message after successful processing.

public void complete(MessageEnvelope message)

configure

Configures the component by passing its configuration parameters.

public 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(IContext context)

  • context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.

isOpen

Checks if the component is opened.

public boolean isOpen()

  • returns: boolean - True if the component is open and False otherwise.

listen

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

public void listen(IContext context, IMessageReceiver receiver)

  • context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
  • receiver: IMessageReceiver - receiver used to receive incoming messages.

peek

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

public MessageEnvelopee peek(IContext context)

  • context: IContext - a context to trace execution through a call chain.
  • returns: Promise<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.

public List<MessageEnvelope> peekBatch(IContext context, int messageCount)

  • context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
  • messageCount: number - maximum number of messages to peek.
  • returns: Promise<MessageEnvelope[]> - list with peeked messages.

readMessageCount

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

public int readMessageCount()

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

receive

Receives an incoming message and removes it from the queue.

public MessageEnvelope receive(IContext context, long waitTimeout)

  • context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
  • waitTimeout: long - timeout in milliseconds to wait for a message to come.
  • returns:MessageEnvelope - received message or null.

renewLock

Renews a lock on a message that makes it invisible from other receivers in the queue. This method is usually used to extend the message processing time.

public void renewLock(MessageEnvelope message, long lockTimeout)

  • message: MessageEnvelope - message to extend its lock.
  • lockTimeout: long - locking timeout in milliseconds.

send

Sends a message into the queue.

public void send(IContext context, MessageEnvelope message)

  • context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
  • envelope: MessageEnvelope - message envelop to be sent.

openWithParams

Opens the component with given connection and credential parameters.

protected void openWithParams(IContext context, ConnectionParams connection, CredentialParams credential)

Examples

 {@code
  MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue("myqueue");
 
  queue.send("123", new MessageEnvelope(null, "mymessage", "ABC"));
 
  queue.receive("123", 0);
  }
  </pre>
