Chapter 8. Senders and receivers
The client uses sender and receiver links to represent channels for delivering messages. Senders and receivers are unidirectional, with a source end for the message origin, and a target end for the message destination.
Sources and targets often point to queues or topics on a message broker. Sources are also used to represent subscriptions.
8.1. Creating queues and topics on demand
Some message servers support on-demand creation of queues and topics. When a sender or receiver is attached, the server uses the sender target address or the receiver source address to create a queue or topic with a name matching the address.
The message server typically defaults to creating either a queue (for one-to-one message delivery) or a topic (for one-to-many message delivery). The client can indicate which it prefers by setting the queue or topic capability on the source or target.
To select queue or topic semantics, follow these steps:
- Configure your message server for automatic creation of queues and topics. This is often the default configuration.
-
Set either the
queueortopiccapability on your sender target or receiver source, as in the examples below.
Example: Sending to a queue created on demand
var conn = container.connect({host: "example.com"});
var sender_opts = {
target: {
address: "jobs",
capabilities: ["queue"]
}
}
conn.open_sender(sender_opts);
Example: Receiving from a topic created on demand
var conn = container.connect({host: "example.com"});
var receiver_opts = {
source: {
address: "notifications",
capabilities: ["topic"]
}
}
conn.open_receiver(receiver_opts);

8.2. Creating durable subscriptions
A durable subscription is a piece of state on the remote server representing a message receiver. Ordinarily, message receivers are discarded when a client closes. However, because durable subscriptions are persistent, clients can detach from them and then re-attach later. Any messages received while detached are available when the client re-attaches.
Durable subscriptions are uniquely identified by combining the client container ID and receiver name to form a subscription ID. These must have stable values so that the subscription can be recovered.
Set the connection container ID to a stable value, such as
client-1:var container = rhea.create_container({id: "client-1"});Create a receiver with a stable name, such as
sub-1, and configure the receiver source for durability by setting thedurableandexpiry_policyproperties:var receiver_opts = { source: { address: "notifications", name: "sub-1", durable: 2, expiry_policy: "never" } } conn.open_receiver(receiver_opts);
To detach from a subscription, use the receiver.detach() method. To terminate the subscription, use the receiver.close() method.
For more information, see the durable-subscribe.js example.
