- = This is a DRAFT =
- 
- = Background =
- 
- [http://hermesjms.com HermesJMS] is a console for JMS messaging and supports 
QPID. This page shows how to configure Hermes with QPID.
- 
- As the QPID codebase is moving quickly forward at the moment and there are 
some workarounds in place within Hermes to support it, you should ensure that 
you download the latest Hermes build from [http://hermesjms.com/patches HEAD]
- 
- Finally, you should familiarise youself with Hermes via the tutorials on the 
website before continuing. Look at the Tibco EMS and JBoss tutorials for how to 
use connection factories directly or via JNDI. This page uses them directly.
- 
- = Configuring =
- 
- To get QPID working, you need to configure the libraries to load via the GUI. 
Hermes loads up each provider in its own classloader to avoid any dependency 
problems across providers. This tutorial assumes you've downloaded and built 
QPID via the {{{ant dist}}} task.
- 
- == Configure the CLASSPATH ==
- 
- Start Hermes and select ''Options -> Configuration'' and click on the 
''Providers'' tab. Create a new classpath group (right click for this) and add 
the following JARS to it:

- 
- 
- When asked, choose the scan option to get Hermes to search the libraries to 
find any classes that implement JMS connection factory interfaces, this is 
essential for the next step.
- 
- Finally, click OK.
- 
- == Configure The Session ==
- 
- Right click on the tree of sessions and select ''New -> Session''. In the 
session combo box at the top put in the name you want, for example QPID. Its 
important the next thing you do is select the loader so the dialog can find any 
connection factories.
- 
- In the ''Class'' combo box choose the 
{{{org.apache.qpid.client.AMQConnectionFactory}}}.
- 
- Next, in the property list for the connection factory, right click to add new 
properties and use the combo to select which one and add their value.
- 
- Finally, and very importantly, check the ''Use consumer'' checkbox at the 
top. QPID does not support JMS queue browsing but Hermes lets you use a 
{{{MessageConsumer}}} instead. Remember of course that if an consumer is 
currently active you will not get the real queue content, Hermes uses a 
transacted session and some messages may be uncommitted in another consumers 
session.
- 
- == Add Destinations ==
- 
- Currently you must manually add queues and topics. You can add them now or 
later from the ''New queue'', ''New topic'' or ''New durable subscription'' 
actions in the toolbar. If you add them now then right click in the destination 
list to add them.
- 
- The session and destinations should look something like this. Once happy, 
click OK.
-

- 
- == Try a Browse ==
- 
- Finally, double click on a queue or topic in the newly created session in the 
tree and you should get see something like the following (assuming you've got 
something in the queue or being published in the topic to see):

- 
- This message is a JMS {{{BytesMessage}}} so there not much to see until you 
see its really a [FIX http://fixprotocol.org] message and clicking on the FIX 
tab reveals it.

- 
- = Other Features =
- 
- Refer to the [http://hermesjms.com HermesJMS] site for how to use all the 
other feature of HermesJMS with QPID.
- 
- = Issues =
- 
- 1. Queues must already exist before you browse them.
- 
- 1. {{{get/setJMSDestination()}}} is not supported on a message so 
{{{Unknown}}} is shown.
