Hi,

Just wondering, what gain is there in reusing Sender objects for the C++
Messaging API? I mean, over doing something like

qpid::messaging::Sender sender=session.createSender(address);

sender.send(message);
sender.close();

every time?

The biggest problem is that the createSender() is synchronous, and may in some cases involve more than one request to the broker. That adds to the latency of the response.
[ ... ] I was having the same problem, and someone (sorry for not remember who) suggested this, that helped:

    bool create = false;
    Sender sender;
    try {
      sender = session_.getSender(queue);
    } catch (KeyError& e) {
      create = true;
    }
    if (create) {
      sender = session_.createSender(queue);
    }

The session may already have the sender for the queue, so you just reuse it.
Well, actually, I've been thinking along those lines, already.

The problem is, that way the senders will never go away, and there will come a time where they aren't going to be needed as the queues could come and go even though each one is generally used several times. And there will be more new senders over time, too, so that everything will keep building up - which is not very nice.

Now, if I could find a way to tell that a sender is not going to be use any more because its queue has in fact gone away, I could just clean up at intervals, but I know of no way of doing that. In fact, there doesn't even seem to be a direct way to ask what senders actually exist. I could of course try to keep track of what senders I've created and when they where used "on the outside", and close the least-recently accessed ones from time to time - but this might easily get cumbersome, and an address can in fact still be valid even though it's a long time since it was used last.

However, if you are able to control the types of reply-addresses you use (e.g. amq.direct/# where # will be expanded to a uuid),

Yep. I'm still at a stage where I can easily change the addressing scheme.

So, in this setup, I'd use the "#" bit as subject?

then you could cut down on the distinct number of senders needed, making caching more likely to help.
