1.1. WS-Notification Standard
Copiar enlace

Overview
Copiar enlace

WS-Notification is a standard that describes a publish/subscribe messaging model implemented over Web services. The functionality is quite similar to the JMS publish/subscribe model, but the interfaces and the protocols are defined in terms of Web services standards (based on Apache CXF, in the context of JBoss A-MQ).
The WS-Notification standard is defined by combining the following OASIS specifications:
  • WS-Topics
  • WS-BaseNotification
  • WS-BrokeredNotification

WS-Topics
Copiar enlace

The WS-Topics standard describes how to organize and define the topics used in a notification broker. In particular, the following aspects of a topic are described:
  • Topic hierarchy—a hierarchical naming scheme, which can be defined using an XML document associated with the notification broker.
  • Topic set—a standardized XML schema, which can optionally be used to define the hierarchy of topic names.
  • Topic dialect—a particular type of name expression that is used to specify one topic or to select multiple topics. The following dialects are defined by the WS-Topics specification:
    • Simple
    • Concrete
    • Full
    • XPath
Note
Topic hierarchies are not supported in JBoss A-MQ. Only Simple topic names can be defined.

WS-BaseNotification
Copiar enlace

The WS-BaseNotification standard describes a simple point-to-point model of message notification. The base standard can be useful, if you want to send notifications through a standardized interface, without deploying a fully-fledged broker to mediate the messages. The following WSDL interfaces are defined in this standard:
NotificationPublisher
Must be implemented by the entity that wants to publish messages. This interfaces exposes the subscribe operation, which enables consumers to register their interest in receiving notifications from this publisher.
NotificationConsumer
Must be implemented by the entity that wants to receive messages. This interface exposes the notify operation, which enables the consumer to receive message notifications directly from the publisher.
In addition to the two preceding interfaces for point-to-point communication, WS-BaseNotification defines another pair of interfaces for supporting pull-style notification, as follows:
CreatePullPoint
Exposes the createPullPoint operation, which creates a PullPoint object that can be used to accumulates messages.
PullPoint
Exposes the notify operation, which enables the pull-point to accumulate notification messages, and the getMessages operation, which enables a pull-style consumer to retrieve the accumulated messages when it is ready.

WS-BrokeredNotification
Copiar enlace

The WS-BrokeredNotification standard describes a brokered model of message notification, where a central broker (or network of brokers) can be used to route messages between publishers and consumers. This architecture scales much better than point-to-point, because each consumer requires only a single connection to the broker in order to monitor notifications from all publishers. The following additional interfaces are defined in this specification:
NotificationBroker
Combines the NotificationPubisher, NotificationConsumer, and CreatePullPoint interfaces, enabling you to provide the full range of notification services in a single application.
The NotificationBroker interface defines one additional operation, the registerPublisher operation, which can optionally be used to register publishers with the broker. In particular, this operation can be useful when constructing a federation of brokers.
RegisterPublisher
The notification broker also implements the RegisterPublisher interface, which defines one additional operation, registerPublisher. A publisher can optionally use the registerPublisher operation its NotificationPublisher object with the broker.
Note
It is also possible for publishers to send messages to the broker straightaway, by invoking notify, without needing to register in advance.
PublisherRegistrationManager
The return value of the registerPublisher operation is a reference to a PublisherRegistrationManager object, which can be used to destroy a registration.

1.2. Consumer Client Scenario
Copiar enlace

Overview
Copiar enlace

In the consumer client scenario, the consumer client receives messages directly from the broker, as soon as they become available. This approach requires the consumer client to implement a callback object, which exposes a Web service endpoint. Figure 1.1, “A Consumer Client Scenario” provides an overview of this scenario.

Figure 1.1. A Consumer Client Scenario

Clients in this scenario
Copiar enlace

There are two clients involved in this scenario:
  • Publisher client—generates notification messages and publishes the messages on a specific topic, by sending them to the notification broker.
  • Consumer client—a client that implements a consumer callback object (exposing a Web service endpoint of NotificationConsumer type), which is capable of receiving notifications directly from the notification broker.

Scenario steps
Copiar enlace

In this scenario, a consumer client receives notification messages from the broker as follows:
  1. The consumer client instantiates a consumer callback object, which implements the NotificationConsumer interface and is capable of receiving notifications from the broker.
  2. The consumer client creates a subscription by invoking the subscribe operation on the broker, passing the following operation arguments:
    • Topic name—specifies the topic that the client wants to subscribe to.
    • Callback reference—a reference to the consumer callback object that will receive the notifications, where the service reference has the format of a WS-Addressing Endpoint Reference (EPR).
  3. A publisher client sends a notification message on a specific topic, by invoking the notify operation on the broker.
  4. If the message topic matches the consumer client's subscription, the broker will forward the message to the consumer client by invoking the notify operation on the consumer callback service.

1.3. PullPoint Client Scenario
Copiar enlace

Overview
Copiar enlace

In the pull-point client scenario, the pull-point client does not receive messages directly from the broker. Instead, the pull-point client allows messages to accumulate in a remote PullPoint object (which acts as a message drop-box) and retrieves the messages from time to time by invoking the getMessages operation on the PullPoint. Figure 1.2, “A PullPoint Client Scenario” provides an overview of this scenario.

Figure 1.2. A PullPoint Client Scenario

Clients in this scenario
Copiar enlace

There are two clients involved in this scenario:
  • Publisher client—generates notification messages and publishes the messages on a specific topic, by sending them to the notification broker.
  • PullPoint client—a client that uses a polling strategy to get notification messages. Instead of receiving notification messages directly from the broker, this client creates a remote PullPoint instance. Messages that accumulate in the PullPoint can be retrieved at any time by invoking the getMessages operation on the PullPoint.

Scenario steps
Copiar enlace

In this scenario, a pull-point client polls for notification messages as follows:
  1. The pull-point client creates a remote PullPoint instance by invoking the create operation on the CreatePullPoint interface in the broker. The return value from this operation contains a WS-Addressing reference to the remote pull-point.
  2. The pull-point client creates a subscription by invoking the subscribe operation on the broker, passing the following operation arguments:
    • Topic name—specifies the topic that the client wants to subscribe to.
    • Callback reference—a reference to the remote PullPoint instance that will receive the notifications on behalf of the client.
  3. A publisher client sends a notification message on a specific topic, by invoking the notify operation on the broker.
  4. At any time, the pull-point client can retrieve messages that have accumulated in the PullPoint instance by invoking the getMessages operation on the PullPoint.

1.4. Implementation of WS-Notification
Copiar enlace

Overview
Copiar enlace

Figure 1.3, “Notification Broker Architecture” shows an overview of how the WS-Notification standard is implemented in JBoss A-MQ, where the notification broker supports both the WS-BaseNotification standard and the WS-BrokeredNotification standard.

Figure 1.3. Notification Broker Architecture

Notification broker as wrapper around ActiveMQ broker
Copiar enlace

The JBoss A-MQ notification broker is implemented essentially as a wrapper around the Apache ActiveMQ broker. This is possible, because the topic-based messaging model at the heart of WS-Notification is essentially the same as the JMS publish/subscribe model. The notification broker wrapper layer provides the SOAP/HTTP protocol, implements the standard WSDL interfaces, and implements the integration layer; the ActiveMQ broker component provides persistence, message routing, and JMX support (amongst other things).
The notification broker wrapper and the ActiveMQ broker are connected together using a normal client-broker connection. In theory, you could use any ActiveMQ supported protocol for this connection, but it makes the most sense to embed both components in the same JVM and to use the VM protocol. This embedded coupling ensures optimum efficiency and performance.

OSGi container deployment
Copiar enlace

In theory, the notification broker can be deployed standalone or into various containers. The normal deployment model in JBoss A-MQ, however, is the OSGi container deployment. To simplify OSGi deployment, the notification broker can be installed as the Karaf feature, cxf-wsn.

Supported WS-Notification interfaces
Copiar enlace

The notification broker service supports the following two WS-Notification interfaces:
NotificationBroker
The main notification broker interface enables you to create subscriptions (subscribe operation), send notification messages (notify operation), and register Publisher services (registerPublisher operation).
CreatePullPoint
The create pull-point interface enables you to create new pull-point endpoints on the notification broker, which are used to accumulate messages until a consumer client is ready to retrieve them.

Qualities of service
Copiar enlace

Most of the options to configure qualities of service are provided by the underlying ActiveMQ broker. All of the usual topic-oriented features and qualities of service can be configured on the underlying broker. In particular, you can turn on persistence in the broker, so that subscriptions and messages are persisted.

Topics
Copiar enlace

Notification messages are organized by topic, so that messages sent on a particular topic will be received by those consumers that are subscribed to that topic. In JBoss A-MQ, the notification topics are mapped to the underlying ActiveMQ topics, as follows:
  • Only the SIMPLE dialect is supported (of the dialects described in the WS-Notification specification).
  • In a WS-Notification client, you can specify a topic name as the String type or as the QName type.
  • A notification topic name maps directly to an ActiveMQ topic name.
  • Topic hierarchies are not supported in JBoss A-MQ, but something very similar is supported by the underlying ActiveMQ broker. In Apache ActiveMQ, you can define a topic to have a segmented structure, where each segment is delimited by the . character—for example, STOCKS.NYSE.REDHAT. Within the ActiveMQ configuration, you can exploit this structure to match multiple topics—for example, STOCKS.NYSE.> matches all topics starting with STOCKS.NYSE..
  • Topics are ad-hoc—in other words, there is no need to pre-define any topic hierarchy in XML. Topics are created dynamically: if you use them, they are automatically created in the broker. This is the standard approach supported in the underlying ActiveMQ broker.

Configuration of the notification broker
Copiar enlace

The notification broker is configured mainly by the following OSGi Config Admin configuration files:
etc/org.apache.cxf.wsn.cfg
Configures the wrapper component of the notification broker. For details about the properties you can set in this file, see the section called “org.apache.cxf.wsn.cfg settings”.
etc/io.fabric8.mq.fabric.server-default.cfg
Customizes the OSGi deployment of the Apache ActiveMQ broker. A couple of important properties can be set in this file—for example, the broker name.
etc/activemq.xml
Configures the Apache ActiveMQ broker. Most of the broker features and properties can be configured in this file. For example, you can configure message persistence and fine tune broker performance in this file.

1.5. Client API
Copiar enlace

Overview
Copiar enlace

Figure 1.4, “Client APIs” gives an overview of the available APIs for programing WS-Notification clients.

Figure 1.4. Client APIs

WS-Notification standard API
Copiar enlace

Clients can be implemented using the standard WS-Notification API, which is obtained by mapping the standard WSDL interfaces to Java the JAX-WS and JAX-B. This has the advantage that you can use standard client code to access the notification broker (ensuring code portability), but it has the disadvantage that the standard API is relatively complicated to program with.

Simplified client API
Copiar enlace

To simplify working with the notification broker, JBoss A-MQ offers a simplified (non-standard) client API for accessing the notification broker. This API automatically takes care of tedious manipulation of JAX-B data types. Using this API, you typically require just a few method calls to implement a basic WS-Notification client.
For example, see the client code samples in Chapter 2, WS-Notification Tutorial.

API reference
Copiar enlace

The full API reference for the simplified client API is provided in the Apache CXF API Reference, which is available from the API Reference in the JBoss Fuse library. All of the relevant classes can be found in the following Java package:

2.1. Install and Configure the Notification Broker
Copiar enlace

Overview
Copiar enlace

This section of the tutorial describes how to install and configure the notification broker as a Web service in the JBoss A-MQ standalone container. For convenient OSGi deployment, the notification broker is packaged as an Apache Karaf feature.

Prerequisites
Copiar enlace

This tutorial assumes that you are starting from a plain standalone container, in the initial configuration you find it in after installing JBoss A-MQ (and, in particular, that the container is not configured as part of a Fuse fabric).

Steps to install the notification broker
Copiar enlace

To install and configure the notification broker in the JBoss A-MQ container, perform the following steps:
  1. Make sure you have already configured some user accounts in the etc/users.properties file. If necessary, create a user account by adding lines in the following format: 
    Username=Password[,Role1][,Role2]...
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    For example, this tutorial assumes that the following admin user account is defined (which has privileges defined by the Administrator role): 
    admin=admin,Administrator
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Create the notification broker configuration file, InstallDir/etc/org.apache.cxf.wsn.cfg, and use a text editor to add the following property settings: 
    cxf.wsn.activemq=vm://amq?create=false&waitForStart=10000
cxf.wsn.activemq.username=admin
cxf.wsn.activemq.password=admin
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    The following aspects of the notification broker are configured in this file:
    • Connection to the ActiveMQ broker—the vm://amq URL connects through the Java Virtual Machine to access the broker named amq (where the broker's name is defined by the broker-name setting in the etc/io.fabric8.mq.fabric.server-default.cfg file). The following options are specified on this URL:
      create
      By setting create=false, you can ensure that the notification broker does not try to create its own (embedded) instance of a broker, but always tries to connect to the existing broker instance named amq.
      waitForStart
      To compensate for any delays that might occur during the container's start-up sequence, this endpoint defines a grace period, during which it waits for the broker to start.
    • Credentials for the connection—because authentication is enabled by default in the broker, you must provide credentials (username and password) for connecting to the broker. The credentials must refer to one of the user accounts defined in etc/users.properties.
  3. Start up the JBoss A-MQ container, by entering the following command from the InstallDir/bin directory: 
    ./amq
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. Install and start up the notification broker using the features:install console command, as follows: 
    JBossA-MQ:karaf@root> features:install cxf-wsn
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  5. Check that broker has started up by navigating to the following URL in your Web browser (querying the WSDL contract from the Web service endpoint): 
    http://localhost:8182/wsn/NotificationBroker?wsdl
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Note
    Your browser should display the NotificationBroker WSDL contract in response to this URL, but this does not work in all browsers. For example, the Safari browser just displays a blank page.

Troubleshooting
Copiar enlace

If you are not sure whether the notification broker is running properly, you can get some diagnostic information using the following commands:
osgi:list
If you run osgi:list at the console prompt, you should see some output like the following:

org.apache.cxf.wsn.cfg settings
Copiar enlace

You can set the following properties in the etc/org.apache.cxf.wsn.cfg configuration file:
cxf.wsn.activemq
Specifies the URI for connecting to the ActiveMQ broker (must be an ActiveMQ client URL). Default is vm:localhost.
cxf.wsn.activemq.username
Specifies the username credentials for logging on to the ActiveMQ broker. Default is user.
cxf.wsn.activemq.password
Specifies the password credentials for logging on to the ActiveMQ broker. Default is password.
cxf.wsn.rootUrl
Specifies the host and IP port of the notification broker's Web service endpoints. Default is http://0.0.0.0:8182.
cxf.wsn.context
Defines the servlet context for notification broker's Web service endpoints. Default is /wsn.
By default, the notification broker constructs its NotificationBroker endpoint address and its CreatePullPoint endpoint address as follows: 
${cxf.wsn.rootUrl}${cxf.wsn.context}/NotificationBroker
${cxf.wsn.rootUrl}${cxf.wsn.context}/CreatePullPoint
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Advanced configuration
Copiar enlace

Because the ActiveMQ broker provides the core functionality of the notification broker, most of the configuration options are available in the etc/activemq.xml file. For example, through the settings in this file you can configure persistent storage and you can optimize the broker for optimum performance.

2.2. Create a Publisher Client
Copiar enlace

Overview
Copiar enlace

This section describes how to create a publisher client of the notification broker. The publisher client is capable of sending messages on a specific topic to the notification broker.

Prerequisites
Copiar enlace

In order to access artifacts from the Maven repository, you need to add the fusesource repository to Maven's settings.xml file. Maven looks for your settings.xml file in the following standard location:
  • UNIX: home/User/.m2/settings.xml
  • Windows: Documents and Settings\User\.m2\settings.xml
If there is currently no settings.xml file at this location, you need to create a new settings.xml file. Modify the settings.xml file by adding the repository element for fusesource, as highlighted in the following example: 
<settings>
    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>my-profile</id>
            <activation>
                <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
            </activation>
            <repositories>
                <repository>
                    <id>fusesource</id>
                    <url>http://repo.fusesource.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
                    <snapshots>
                        <enabled>false</enabled>
                    </snapshots>
                    <releases>
                        <enabled>true</enabled>
                    </releases>
                </repository>
                ...
            </repositories>
        </profile>

Sample publisher client code
Copiar enlace

Example 2.1, “Publisher Client Code” shows the code for a sample publisher client that pushes a simple Hello World! message to the MyTopic topic on the notification broker.

Example 2.1. Publisher Client Code

// Java
package org.jboss.fuse.example.wsn.publisher;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;

import org.w3c.dom.Element;

import org.apache.cxf.wsn.client.Consumer;
import org.apache.cxf.wsn.client.NotificationBroker;
import org.apache.cxf.wsn.client.Subscription;
import org.oasis_open.docs.wsn.b_2.NotificationMessageHolderType;

/**

public final class Client {
    private Client() {
        //not constructed
    }

    /**

     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String wsnPort = "8182";
        if (args.length > 0) {
            wsnPort = args[0];
        }
        
        // Create a NotificationBroker proxy
        NotificationBroker notificationBroker 
            = new NotificationBroker("http://localhost:" + wsnPort + "/wsn/NotificationBroker");


        for (int i=0; i<120; i++) {
            // Send notifications on the Topic
            notificationBroker.notify(
                "MyTopic", 
                new JAXBElement<String>(
                    new QName("urn:test:org", "foo"),
                    String.class,
                    "Hello World!"
                )
            );
        
            // Sleep for 1s between notifications
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        }
        
        // Cleanup and exit
        System.exit(0);
    }

NotificationBroker proxy class
Copiar enlace

The client code from Example 2.1, “Publisher Client Code” uses the NotificationBroker proxy class to connect to the remote notification broker and to publish notifications to the broker. In this example, the following NotificationBroker methods are invoked:
NotificationBroker(String address, Class<?>... cls)
The NotificationBroker constructor normally takes a single argument, which is the URL of the remote notification broker Web service.
notify(String topic, Object msg)
Sends a message, msg, on the topic, topic, to the notification broker, where the format of the msg argument is an XML document. For example, you can use the JAX-B API to create a single XML element containing a string for the message, as shown in Example 2.1, “Publisher Client Code”.
Note
This NotificationBroker proxy class belongs to the simplified client API provided by the Apache CXF implementation of WS-Notification; it is not an instance of the standard NotificationBroker SEI defined by JAX-WS (although the standard SEI is also available and could be used instead).

Steps to create a publisher client
Copiar enlace

Perform the following steps to create a publisher client:
  1. You can create a Maven project directly from the command line, by invoking the archetype:generate goal. First of all, create a directory to hold the WS-Notification client projects. Open a command prompt, navigate to a convenient location in your file system, and create the wsn directory, as follows: 
    mkdir wsn
cd wsn
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    You can now use the archetype:generate goal to invoke the karaf-soap-archetype archetype, which generates a simple Apache CXF demonstration, as follows: 
    mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=io.fabric8.archetypes \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=karaf-soap-archetype \
  -DarchetypeVersion=1.2.0.redhat-621084 \
  -DgroupId=org.jboss.fuse.example \
  -DartifactId=wsn-publisher \
  -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
  -Dpackage=org.jboss.fuse.example.wsn.publisher \
  -Dfabric8-profile=wsn-publisher-profile
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Note
    The backslash characters at the end of each line are effective as line-continuation characters on UNIX and LINUX platforms. If you are entering the command on a Windows platform, however, you must enter the entire command on a single line.
    You will be prompted to confirm the project settings, with a message similar to this one: 
    Confirm properties configuration:
groupId: org.jboss.fuse.example
artifactId: wsn-publisher
version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
package: org.jboss.fuse.example.wsn.publisher
fabric8-profile: wsn-publisher-profile
 Y: :
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Type Return to accept the settings and generate the project. When the command finishes, you should find a new Maven project in the wsn/wsn-publisher directory.
  2. Some of the generated project files are not needed for this tutorial. Under the wsn/wsn-publisher directory, delete the following files and directories: 
    src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/blueprint/blueprint.xml
src/main/java/org/jboss/fuse/example/wsn/publisher/HelloWorld.java
src/main/java/org/jboss/fuse/example/wsn/publisher/HelloWorldImpl.java
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Edit the pom.xml file in the wsn-publisher directory, and add the dependency required for WS-Notification clients: 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project ...>
    ...
    <dependencies>
        ...
        <!-- Needed for WS-Notification -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.cxf.services.wsn</groupId>
            <artifactId>cxf-services-wsn-api</artifactId>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
    ...
</project>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Note
    There is no need to specify the version of this artifact, because the version is provided by the Fabric8 BOM, which uses Maven dependency management to specify the artifact versions.
  4. Delete the cxf-java2ws-plugin plug-in configuration from the wsn-publisher/pom.xml file. That is, open the pom.xml file and delete the cxf-java2ws-plugin plug-in configuration as highlighted in the following example: 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project ...>
    ...
    <build>

    Notification messages are now accumulating in the broker, but you will not be able to receive the messages until you create a consumer client.

2.3. Create a Consumer Client
Copiar enlace

Overview
Copiar enlace

This section describes how to create a consumer client of the notification broker. The consumer client subscribes to a particular topic and creates a callback service, which is capable of receiving messages directly from the broker.

Sample consumer client code
Copiar enlace

Example 2.2, “Consumer Client Code” shows the code for a sample consumer client that subscribes to messages published on the MyTopic topic.

Example 2.2. Consumer Client Code

// Java
package org.jboss.fuse.example.wsn.consumer;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;

import org.w3c.dom.Element;

import org.apache.cxf.wsn.client.Consumer;
import org.apache.cxf.wsn.client.NotificationBroker;
import org.apache.cxf.wsn.client.Subscription;
import org.oasis_open.docs.wsn.b_2.NotificationMessageHolderType;

/**
 * 
 */
public final class Client {
    private Client() {
        //not constructed
    }

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String wsnPort = "8182";
        if (args.length > 0) {
            wsnPort = args[0];
        }
        
        // Start a consumer that will listen for notification messages
        // We'll just print the text content out for now.
        Consumer consumer = new Consumer(new Consumer.Callback() {
            public void notify(NotificationMessageHolderType message) {
                Object o = message.getMessage().getAny();
                System.out.println(message.getMessage().getAny());
                if (o instanceof Element) {
                    System.out.println(((Element)o).getTextContent());
                }
            }
        }, "http://localhost:9001/MyConsumer");
        
        
        // Create a subscription for a Topic on the broker
        NotificationBroker notificationBroker 
            = new NotificationBroker("http://localhost:" + wsnPort + "/wsn/NotificationBroker");
        Subscription subscription = notificationBroker.subscribe(consumer, "MyTopic");


        // Just sleep for a bit to pick up some incoming messages
        Thread.sleep(60000);
        
        // Cleanup and exit
        subscription.unsubscribe();
        consumer.stop();
        System.exit(0);
    }

Creating a consumer callback object
Copiar enlace

In order to receive notification messages from the notification broker, you must create a consumer callback object to receive the messages. The consumer callback object is in fact a Web service which is embedded in your client. The easiest way to create the consumer callback is to use the org.apache.cxf.wsn.client.Consumer class from the simplified client API, which enables you to define a callback as follows: 
        // Start a consumer that will listen for notification messages
        // We'll just print the text content out for now.
        Consumer consumer = new Consumer(new Consumer.Callback() {
            public void notify(NotificationMessageHolderType message) {
                Object o = message.getMessage().getAny();
                System.out.println(message.getMessage().getAny());
                if (o instanceof Element) {
                    System.out.println(((Element)o).getTextContent());
                }
            }
        }, "http://localhost:9001/MyConsumer");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
The first argument to the Consumer constructor is a reference to the consumer callback object, which is defined inline. The second argument specifies the URL of the consumer callback endpoint, which can receive messages from the notification broker.

Subscribing to a topic
Copiar enlace

To start receiving messages, you must subscribe the consumer to a topic in the notification broker. To create a subscription, invoke the following subscribe method on the NotificationBroker proxy object: 
Subscription subscribe(Referencable consumer, String topic)
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
The first argument is a reference to a Consumer object (which is capable of returning a WS-Addressing endpoint reference to the consumer callback through the Referencable.getEpr() method). The second argument is the name of the topic you want to subscribe to.
The return value is a reference to a Subscription object, which you can use to manage the subscription (for example, pause, resume, or unsubscribe).

Threading in the consumer client
Copiar enlace

Because the consumer client has an embedded Web service (the consumer callback object), which automatically starts in a background thread, it is necessary to manage threading in this sample client. In particular, after creating the subscription, you need to put the main thread to sleep (by calling Thread.sleep(60000)), so that the thread context can switch to the background thread, where the callback Web service is running. This makes it possible for the consumer callback to receive some messages.

Steps to create a consumer client
Copiar enlace

Perform the following steps to create a consumer client:
  1. Use the archetype:generate goal to invoke the servicemix-cxf-code-first-osgi-bundle archetype. Under the wsn directory, invoke the Maven archetype as follows: 
    mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=io.fabric8.archetypes \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=karaf-soap-archetype \
  -DarchetypeVersion=1.2.0.redhat-621084 \
  -DgroupId=org.jboss.fuse.example \
  -DartifactId=wsn-consumer \
  -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
  -Dpackage=org.jboss.fuse.example.wsn.consumer \
  -Dfabric8-profile=wsn-consumer-profile

  4. To inspect the state of the notification broker, you can connect to the JMX port of the ActiveMQ broker. Start up a JMX console by entering the following command at the command line: 
    jconsole
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    In the JConsole: New Connection dialog, select Remote Process and enter the following URL in the accompanying text field: 
    service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/karaf-root
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    In the Username and Password fields, enter one of the user credentials you created at the start of this tutorial. When you are connected to the JMX port, you can inspect the state of the broker by clicking on the MBeans tab and drilling down the object tree in the JConsole.

2.4. Create a PullPoint Client

Overview
Copiar enlace

This section describes how to create a pull-point client of the notification broker. The pull-point client first creates a remote pull-point (which is used to accumulate messages), then subscribes the pull-point to a particular topic. Finally, the pull-point client retrieves the accumulated messages from the pull-point.

  5. Add a client profile to the POM file, which provides an easy way to run the publisher client code. Edit the wsn-pullpoint/pom.xml file and add the new profile element, as highlighted in the following example: 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project ...>
    ...
    <profiles>
        ...
        <profile>

                                </goals>
                                <configuration>
                                    <mainClass>org.jboss.fuse.example.wsn.pullpoint.Client</mainClass>
                                </configuration>
                            </execution>
                        </executions>
                    </plugin>

Test the PullPoint client as follows:
  1. If the JBoss A-MQ container is not already running (with the notification broker installed), start it up now: 
    ./amq

  2. Run the publisher client at the command line. Open a new command prompt, and enter the following commands: 
    cd wsn/wsn-publisher
mvn -Pclient
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    In the command window, you should see some output like the following: 
    ...
[INFO] Tests are skipped.
[INFO] 
[INFO] --- exec-maven-plugin:1.4.0:java (default) @ wsn-publisher ---
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    You now have approximately two minutes before the publisher client times out.
  3. Run the PullPoint client at the command line. Open a new command prompt and enter the following commands: 
    cd wsn/wsn-pullpoint
mvn -Pclient
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    After a ten second delay, you should see some output like the following: 
    ...
[INFO] Tests are skipped.
[INFO] 
[INFO] --- exec-maven-plugin:1.4.0:java (default) @ wsn-pullpoint ---
[foo: null]
Hello World!
[foo: null]
Hello World!
...

  4. To inspect the state of the notification broker, you can connect to the JMX port of the ActiveMQ broker. Start up a JMX console by entering the following command at the command line: 
    jconsole
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    In the JConsole: New Connection dialog, select Remote Process and enter the following URL in the accompanying text field: 
    service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/karaf-root
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    In the Username and Password fields, enter one of the user credentials you created at the start of this tutorial. When you are connected to the JMX port, you can inspect the state of the broker by clicking on the MBeans tab and drilling down the object tree in the JConsole.
