--------------------------------------
Summary: [proton-j] the Link#getRemoteCredit() method return value
isn't suitable for sending links
Key: PROTON-1299
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1299
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Bug
Components: proton-j
Affects Versions: 0.14.0
Reporter: Robbie Gemmell
Assignee: Robbie Gemmell
Fix For: 0.15.0
The Link interface has a getRemoteCredit() method for getting a local view of
the 'effective remote credit' for the link based on current credit and queued
messages. This has historically returned the value 'credit - queued' for both
sending and receiving links. That makes no sense for sending links since the
credit value for them already incorporates the effect of any sent messages
still buffered in the engine, so subtracting the queued count from this just
applies the send effect twice if there are actually queued messages, leading
the value to be misleading.
The method should probably only have been defined for receiving links (or not
at all given the queued count is able to be inspected separately), but rather
than break the API by moving it to the Reciever interface, the implementation
should just be updated to ensure an appropriate answer is given for sending
links (by making it the same as calling getCredit()).
