4.11.4. Subscribe to the XML Exchange

The following code subscribes to an XML exchange myxml by creating a queue xmlq and binding it to the exchange with an XQuery.
AMQP 0-10

Python
rxXML = ssn.receiver("myxmlq; {create:always, link: { x-bindings: [{exchange:myxml, key:weather, arguments:{xquery:'./weather'} }]}}")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

AMQP 1.0

C++
Receiver rxXML = ssn.createReceiver("myxml/weather; {link: {name:myxmlq, filter:{name:myfilter, descriptor:'apache.org:query-filter:string', value:'./weather'}}}");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The XQuery ./weather will match any messages whose body content has the root XML element <weather>.
Note the use of the key argument for x-bindings. This ensures that the binding has a unique name, allowing it to be deleted and updated by name, and ensuring that it is not accidentally updated, as might be the case if it were anonymous in the namespace of the exchange.
The following code demonstrates using the XML exchange with a more complex XQuery (using AMQP 0-10 addressing):
Python
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
from qpid.messaging import *

conn = Connection("localhost:5672")
conn.open()
try:
  ssn = conn.session()
  tx = ssn.sender("myxml/weather; {create: always, node: {type: topic, x-declare: {exchange: myxml, type: xml}}}")

  xquerystr = 'let $w := ./weather '
  xquerystr += "return $w/station = 'Raleigh-Durham International Airport (KRDU)' "
  xquerystr += 'and $w/temperature_f > 50 '
  xquerystr += 'and $w/temperature_f - $w/dewpoint > 5 '
  xquerystr += 'and $w/wind_speed_mph > 7 '
  xquerystr += 'and $w/wind_speed_mph < 20'

  rxaddr = 'myxmlq; {create: always, '
  rxaddr += 'link: {x-bindings: [{exchange: myxml, '
  rxaddr += 'key: weather, '
  rxaddr += 'arguments: {xquery: "' + xquerystr + '"'
  rxaddr += '}}]}}'
 
  rx = ssn.receiver(rxaddr)

  msgstr = '<weather>'
  msgstr += '<station>Raleigh-Durham International Airport (KRDU)</station>'
  msgstr += '<wind_speed_mph>16</wind_speed_mph>'
  msgstr += '<temperature_f>70</temperature_f>'
  msgstr += '<dewpoint>35</dewpoint>'
  msgstr += '</weather>'

  msg = Message(msgstr)
        
  tx.send(msg)

  rxmsg = rx.fetch(timeout=1)
  print rxmsg

  ssn.acknowledge()

finally:
  conn.close()
