Hi everybody,

We are working with Qpid to set up interoperability between 2 systems, one in Java, the other in C ++.

On the C ++ side, we use Qpid Proton 0.17.0 (not the last update due to system constraints) to use the AMQP 1.0 standard.

In Java, we started on Qpid JMS 0.30.0 for the simplicity of JMS and compatibility with 1.0 of AMQP.

In the nominal case, we use a Broker, but we also need point-to-point access to transfer information from one system to another such as the broker's address and the queues on which we can exchange.

However, connection and exchange with the broker is simple to configure, but the point to point in JMS seems compromised (or so we have not yet find the right documentation).

We are considering the use of Qpid Proton-J 0.26.0 but again, we do not find much example of implementation ...

What is the best way to use both communication broker and point-to-point?

Anybody can provide us a quick sample of Proton-J usage with and without broker? or a JMS sample to point-to-point usage?

If by point-to-point you mean one system connects to the other directly, then the first thing is to decide which direction that connection happens in. The JMS client, as far as I know, does not let you accept incoming connections. Therefore it would be easier to have the c++ part open a listener on a particular port, and have the JMS client simply connect to that as if it were a broker. That does mean there is some extra stuff the c++ side needs to do to correctly handle the direct connections. You can have a look at the broker example to get some ideas: https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid-proton/repo?p=qpid-proton.git;a=blob;f=examples/cpp/broker.cpp;h=f48fb376f65dbeeed9fae71092168de732b19356;hb=HEAD

However, one other thing to consider, is to use the dispatch router between the systems. This way the two systems connect out, as if to a broker, but can send each other messages that are acknowledged end-to-end with no store-and-forward between them. You can also have the links propagated if you need to. I think it often makes the overall system simpler. It depends of course on the reasons and detailed use cases for the point-to-point communication channel.
