Using Apache Qpid Proton Python over AMQP 1.0 with Solace PubSub+ Message Brokers

The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is an open standard application layer protocol for message-oriented middleware, and Solace PubSub+ Message Brokers support AMQP 1.0.

In addition to information provided on the Solace Developer Portal, you may also look at external sources for more details about AMQP:

• http://www.amqp.org
• https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=amqp
• http://docs.oasis-open.org/amqp/core/v1.0/amqp-core-complete-v1.0.pdf

The "Getting Started" tutorials will get you up to speed and sending messages with Solace technology as quickly as possible. There are three ways you can get started:

• Follow these instructions to quickly spin up a cloud-based Solace messaging service for your applications.
• Follow these instructions to start the Solace PubSub+ software message broker in leading Clouds, Container Platforms or Hypervisors. The tutorials outline where to download and how to install the Solace PubSub+ software message broker.
• If your company has Solace PubSub+ appliance deployed, contact your middleware team to obtain the host name or IP address of a Solace PubSub+ appliance to test against, a username and password to access it, and a VPN in which you can produce and consume messages.

Contents

This repository contains sample code for the following scenarios:

1. Publish to a Queue, see simple_send
2. Receive from a Queue, see simple_recv
3. Publish on a Topic using address prefix, see producer
4. Receive from Durable Topic Endpoint using address prefix, see consumer
5. Receive from Durable Topic Endpoint using address prefix and terminus durability fields, see consumer_std

Note AMQP address prefixes are not supported until Solace PubSub+ software message broker version 8.11.0 and Solace PubSub+ appliance version 8.5.0.

Prerequisites

Must have python 2.7 or later installed and available. Must have bash shell script environment.

Building & Running

Activate environment and run the Examples

Just clone and activate. For example:

1. clone this GitHub repository
2. source ./env.sh activate

Running the Examples

To try individual examples, build the project from source and then run them like the following:

• With anonymous authentication (your MessagingService/MessageVpn has Basic Authentication set to None):

  python src/simple_send.py --url amqp://<msg_backbone_ip:port> -a queue.name

• OR with basic authentication (your MessagingService/MessageVpn has Basic Authentication set to Internal Database, LDAP, or RADIUS):

  python src/simple_send.py --url amqp://<msg_backbone_ip:port> --username user --password password -a queue.name
