Chapter 3. Getting Started

Use one of the example programs to send 10 messages to a queue called examples.

./simple_send -m 10

$ ./simple_send -m 10

The command line option -m 10 tells the program to send 10 messages.

This will output:

all messages confirmed
$

all messages confirmed
$

By default the simple_send example connects to an AMQP listener on the same machine (IP address 127.0.0.1, port 5672) and sends messages to the AMQP address examples. This corresponds to the examples queue that we have configured in the AMQ Broker.

Execute the following commands as you did in the previous example.

./simple_recv -m 10

$ ./simple_recv -m 10

In this case the command line option -m 10 tells the program to exit after receiving 10 messages.

{"sequence"=2}
{"sequence"=3}
{"sequence"=4}
{"sequence"=5}
{"sequence"=6}
{"sequence"=7}
{"sequence"=8}
{"sequence"=9}
{"sequence"=10}

The simple_recv example is similar to the simple_send example. It also connects to an AMQP listener on the same machine. By default it will subscribe to the AMQP address examples and it will receive 100 messages.
