    REST and STOMP on HornetQ

    dcorner Dec 13, 2012 4:41 PM

      Can we run both REST and STOMP in the same HornetQ instance?  The documentation indicates that this is a problem; ObjectMessage for REST vs TextMessage for STOMP.  Is there any way around this?  If I can only have one of them what are the advantages/disadvantages of each?

          Are you asking if you can, for example, produce a message via REST and then consume it via STOMP?  If so, I don't think there is any way to do that currently.

           

          If you had to choose between REST and STOMP then I would probably choose STOMP because...

          1. STOMP doesn't require a servlet container like REST does.
          2. STOMP is standardized and HornetQ REST isn't which means there are libraries that will help you integrate with STOMP more easily.

            The question is can we have  JMS, REST and STOMP clients connected to the same server?

              Yes.  I don't see why not.

               

              Of course, as stated before, they won't necessarily all be able to exchange messages with each other.

                That's kind of a big issue.  We will have one publisher.  It is a c++ process so it needs to be either STOMP or REST.  Are you saying that  REST client can't receive messages posted by a STOMP publisher?  What about a JMS client?

                  JMS and REST can interoperate.  JMS and STOMP can interoperate.  The manual discusses both of these scenarios.

                   

                  REST and STOMP cannot interoperate (as I basically stated before).

                   

                  Clients using REST, STOMP, or JMS can all connect to the same instance of HornetQ (again, as I stated before).

                    Yes you did say it before and I appologize for not reading carefully enough.

                     

                    Thanks for your help.
