JMS Transport

 

Apache AXIS2 support a JMS transport layer in addition to the existing HTTP transport. This allows Web service clients and servers to communicate via JMS queues and topics instead of HTTP connections. Both one-way and synchronous two-way requests are supported. 

The benefits of using JMS as an alternative to HTTP include the following:

  • Request and response messages are sent by way of reliable messaging.
  • One-way requests allow client and server to be more loosely-coupled (the server does not have to be active when the client sends the one-way request).
  • One-way requests can be sent to multiple servers simultaneously through the use of a topic.

If a web service is to be accessible on the JMS transport, then the corresponding WSDL document should include a JMS binding and a SOAP address which specifies a JMS endpoint URL string. A JMS binding is simply a wsdl:binding element which contains a wsdlsoap:binding element whose transport attribute ends in soap/jms, rather than the normal soap/http value. In addition to the JMS binding, a wsdl:port element which references the JMS binding should be included in the wsdl:service element within the WSDL document. This wsdl:port element should contain a wsdlsoap:address element whose location attribute specifies a JMS endpoint URL string.

You also need to decide on the names and types of JMS objects that your application will use. For example, you must decide whether your web service will receive its requests from a queue or a topic. You also must decide whether to use a secure destination (queue or topic). Finally, you will need to decide on the names for your destination, connection factory, and listener port.   The following list provides an example of the names that might be used for the sample MessageReceiveService web service:

 

  
QueueMessageReceiveService, JNDI name: MessageReceiveService
QueueConnectionFactoryamqp://admin:admin@clientid/carbon?brokerlist='tcp://localhost:5672' JNDI name: QueueConnectionFactory

Creating a Simple Service

Following java class with its two operations are hosted in Axis2 server as a web service.

public class MessageReceiveService {
    public void receive(String message) {
        System.out.println("Got the message ==> " + message);
    }
    public String echo(String message) {
        System.out.println("Got the message ==> " + message);
        return message;
    }
}

 

As WSDL of the service following will be used. Note how JMS bindings are defined. receive operation is an "in only" operation having only input message. But echo is "in-out" operation which is having an output message as well as an input message.

Axi2 Configurations

axi2.xml file, which configures the axis2 server on which above service is hosted, should be enabled with JMS transport.

<transportReceiver name="jms" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.jms.JMSListener">
	<parameter name="default" locked="false">
		<parameter name="java.naming.factory.initial" locked="false">org.wso2.andes.jndi.PropertiesFileInitialContextFactory</parameter>
		<parameter name="java.naming.provider.url" locked="false">conf/jndi.properties</parameter>
		<parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryJNDIName" locked="false">QueueConnectionFactory</parameter>
		<parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryType" locked="false">queue</parameter>
	</parameter>
</transportReceiver>
<transportSender name="jms" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.jms.JMSSender"/>

Message Broker Bindings

conf/jndi.properties file is having all JMS bindings (Queue/QueueConnectionFactory) mentioned above.

connectionfactory.QueueConnectionFactory=amqp://admin:admin@clientid/carbon?brokerlist='tcp://localhost:5672'
queue.MessageReceiveService=MessageReceiveService

Note that WSO2 Message Broker should be running at localhost port 5672 as per this sample.

Start Axis2 Server

Axis2 server is started with above configurations, hosting the above MessageReceiveService service.

private AxisServer axisServer;
public void start(){
	try {
	    ConfigurationContext configurationContext =
		    ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem(null,"conf/axis2.xml");
	    this.axisServer = new AxisServer();
	    this.axisServer.setConfigurationContext(configurationContext);
	    this.axisServer.deployService(MessageReceiveService.class.getName());
	    try {
		Thread.sleep(2000);
	    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
	    }
	} catch (AxisFault axisFault) {
	    axisFault.printStackTrace();
	} catch (Exception e) {
	    e.printStackTrace();
	}
}

 

Send a message to MessageReceiveService service

Now using axis2_client.xml as the config file a ConfigurationContext can be created and a message can be sent to the service. Note that fist "in-only" message is sent and then "in-out" message is sent. Client stub is generated from the above WSDL using WSDL-To-Java tool (when complied using build.xml at <MB_HOME>/Samples/jmstransport using ant this will be done).

Using WSO2 MB management console you can see how  MessageReceiveService queue is created. See Message Broker Queues - User Guide for more information.

public void sendMessage(){
	try {

	    ConfigurationContext configurationContext =
		    ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem(null, "conf/axis2_client.xml");
	    MessageReceiveServiceStub stub = new MessageReceiveServiceStub(configurationContext,"http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/MessageReceiveService.MessageReceiveServiceHttpSoap11Endpoint/");
	    //first send the inonly message
	    stub.receive("Test message to receive ");
	    // inout message
	    String response = stub.echo("Test message to echo");
	    System.out.println("Response ==> " + response);

	    try {
		Thread.sleep(10000);
	    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	    }
	} catch (AxisFault axisFault) {
	    axisFault.printStackTrace();
	} catch (java.rmi.RemoteException e) {
	    e.printStackTrace();
	}
}
