----------------------------------------
Summary: Introduce Ability to Switch Messaging Transports and Add
Support for AMQP
Key: STRATOS-1168
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STRATOS-1168
Project: Stratos
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Messaging
Affects Versions: 4.1.0 Alpha
Reporter: Imesh Gunaratne
Assignee: Imesh Gunaratne
Priority: Critical
Currently messaging component only supports MQTT transport. This has several
drawbacks:
I wanted to implement an automated integration test which could start an
ActiveMQ instance (using ActiveMQ embedded server) and a Stratos server
instance and run sample applications against Mock IaaS. However as I found
ActiveMQ embedded server does not support MQTT transport out of the box however
it works with AMQP.
During past months most of us noticed an instability behaviour in MQTT. Once
the Stratos server is run for several hours the connection to the message
broker drops.
Another important reason is that MQTT requires each client to specify a
globally unique ID. We managed to solve this by generating a random number. A
UUID is much larger than the limit specified by MQTT. This is not a proper way
of handling a Client ID in a distributed environment.
Due to above reasons it would be great if we can introduce factory classes for
TopicPublisher and TopicSubscriber and add support for AMQP.
