Chapter 11. File-based configuration


Red Hat build of Rhea can read the configuration options used to establish connections from a local file named connect.json. This enables you to configure connections in your application at the time of deployment.

The library attempts to read the file when the application calls the container connect method without supplying any connection options.

11.1. File locations

If set, Red Hat build of Rhea uses the value of the MESSAGING_CONNECT_FILE environment variable to locate the configuration file.

If MESSAGING_CONNECT_FILE is not set, Red Hat build of Rhea searches for a file named connect.json at the following locations and in the order shown. It stops at the first match it encounters.

On Linux:

  1. $PWD/connect.json, where $PWD is the current working directory of the client process
  2. $HOME/.config/messaging/connect.json, where $HOME is the current user home directory
  3. /etc/messaging/connect.json

On Windows:

  1. %cd%/connect.json, where %cd% is the current working directory of the client process

If no connect.json file is found, the library uses default values for all options.

11.2. The file format

The connect.json file contains JSON data, with additional support for JavaScript comments.

All of the configuration attributes are optional or have default values, so a simple example need only provide a few details:

Example: A simple connect.json file

{
    "host": "example.com",
    "user": "alice",
    "password": "secret"
}

SASL and SSL/TLS options are nested under "sasl" and "tls" namespaces:

Example: A connect.json file with SASL and SSL/TLS options

{
    "host": "example.com",
    "user": "ortega",
    "password": "secret",
    "sasl": {
        "mechanisms": ["SCRAM-SHA-1", "SCRAM-SHA-256"]
    },
    "tls": {
        "cert": "/home/ortega/cert.pem",
        "key": "/home/ortega/key.pem"
    }
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

11.3. Configuration options

The option keys containing a dot (.) represent attributes nested inside a namespace.
