I have some code that worked fairly well with the release version of ActiveMQ 4.1 using OpenWire. One of my colleagues upgraded the server to the latest snapshot of ActiveMQ 5, and suddenly while I could still write to the queues on that server I could no longer read from them. (by the way, the new web interface in ActiveMQ 5 is very nice. That's what let's me see that my written messages are indeed arriving.
For example, this simple program to write a couple of messages and then read them back fails: import javax.jms.*; import org.apache.activemq.*; import org.apache.activemq.command.*; public class CompletedRead { private static String url = "tcp://queue.example.com:61616"; private static String queue = "foo"; public static void main(String[] args) throws JMSException { ConnectionFactory out = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory(url); Connection connection = out.createConnection(); Destination destination = new ActiveMQQueue( queue ); connection.start(); Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE); MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(destination); TextMessage message = session.createTextMessage(); message.setText("118652"); producer.send(message); message.setText("118653"); producer.send(message); producer.close(); session.close(); connection.close(); receive(); } private static void receive() throws JMSException { ConnectionFactory in = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory(url); Connection connection = in.createConnection(); Destination destination = new ActiveMQQueue( queue ); connection.start(); Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE); MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(destination); TextMessage message = (TextMessage) consumer.receive(10000); System.out.println(message.getText()); message = (TextMessage) consumer.receive(10000); System.out.println(message.getText()); consumer.close(); session.close(); connection.close(); } Should an ActiveMQ 4 client be able to read from an ActiveMQ 5 server? Or should it not be able to? Is this a known issue? I'm going to try to upgrade my clients libraries to 5.0 and see what happens next. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold [EMAIL PROTECTED]
