Dear all, I am writing you because I'm trying to better understand how to use the Qpid Proton C++ library, after learning a bit how to work with the C API.
My goal would be, in particular, to write a client/producer which can connect to an external broker, from which other clients can then consume my messages. My issue is that I should integrate the client inside an application which should continue running after I start the Qpid Proton event loop. In particular, the application should perform other operations and prepare, from time to time, the messages which should be dispatched to the broker. Do you know whether there is a good way to achieve this goal directly within Qpid Proton? Looking at the "helloworld.cpp" example, the client is entering the event loop by means of "proton::container(hw).run();", and exiting that loop only when "d.connection().close();" is called. Is there any way in which I can periodically "inject" some messages into the event loop, letting the application run after the call to "proton::container(hw).run();", and then going back to handling AMQP events when I need to send a new packet, without the need of opening and closing the connection every time (as the messages I need to prepare and send may come quite at a fast rate, even less than every 100 ms)? Should I rely on multiple threads? Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.
