There is, but it is quite subtle and likely not that relevant in most cases, at least where the timeout is also non-zero.

If you have a non-zero capacity and after the timeout ends there is no prefetched message available, get() will give up return without a message. There could however be a message 'on the way'. just pushed out by the server but not arrived at the client at that point. In the same circumstance fetch() would do one final check on the broker. So with fetch() you would know that at the time the timeout expired there really was no message on the queue.

In most cases this isn't that interesting, but to try and illustrate the difference, imagine a rather contrived example where you do a synchronous send() to a queue, then immediately call get() for a receiver on that queue (whose capacity is greater than zero).

Whether get() returns a message will depend on the timeout specified and the time it takes the broker to actually push out the message. If you called fetch() instead, it would always return the message (assuming no one else sneaked in to take it), regardless of the timeout or the time taken for the broker to actually push it out.

Generally I would say use fetch() and if you want prefetch for greater efficiency set the capacity to a non-zero value. It may have been a mistake on my part to expose get().

I'm able to get messages without any calls to fetch(), i.e.

string addr("test-queue/test-subject;{create:always,node:{type:queue}}");

Connection connection("amqp:tcp:localhost:5672", "{username: guest, password: 
guest}");
connection.open();

Session session = connection.createSession("sessionId");
Sender sender = session.createSender(addr);
sender.send(Message("Hello World!"), true);
session.sync(true);

Receiver receiver = session.createReceiver(addr);
receiver.setCapacity(1);

Message message;
Duration duration(1000);
if(receiver.get(message, duration)) {
     cout << "Get: " << message.getContent() << endl;
     session.acknowledge(true);
}


Best Regards,
Sergey

if the receiver's capacity is not specified.

Is this an expected behavior?

If the capacity is zero there is no prefetch, and get() currently simply 
returns any prefetched messages (if they exist). On th eother hand, every 
fetch() call will pull off a message if there is no prefetch buffer to take one 
from.

Does that make sense?
