Hello, I've spent days trying to figure out how to do the most basic operation with ActiveMQ from C# (ex.: consume / produce messages on a queue on localhost, network protocol = anything that works) and can't find ANY documentation:
- the getting started docs are pointing to source files that don't exist: http://activemq.apache.org/nms/nms.html - the other samples mentioned in http://activemq.apache.org/nms/ are all built on top of Spring.Net. In addition, the simplest of the Spring.Net examples did not work for me (it probably worked in 2007 when it was first written) - googling for code samples was no help (nor was searching in this forum, although the search in the forum is so slow and limited that I did not search as much as I might have otherwise) - running 'nant doc' failed to create any documentation for me (I get an 'object reference not set' exception) - I looked at all the unit tests and they seem to make mainly atomic tests - I definitively could not find anything off of which to base my own code - the api documentation (http://activemq.apache.org/nms/ndoc/NMS.html) doesn't seem to cover apache.nms.activemq - it only documents apache.nms, which is really pretty useless ------------------------------------- Anyhow, for those who, like me, are trying to get started, here are a few things you might want to be aware of: - build using nant 'beta 2': one of the readme's mentions that nms requires the Beta 2 version of 0.86 nant (currently it's at beta 1 on the nant site, so you have to get it from the nightly builds). If you install the stable version of nant, the build from within visual studio will fail as well, due to nant pre- and post-build event commands that fail from within VS2008 as well. - the connection strings / configuration for nms is, as far as I can tell, undocumented, so it's hard to say what exactly is required to get things to run. From single stepping through code, I found that it expects to find config files with specific names such as 'nmsprovider-tcp.config' or 'nmsprovider-activemq.config'. You will find some sample config files in the source code. ------------------------------------- Overall though, with so little documentation and no sample code anywhere, I really don't see how anyone could get this stuff to work... I'm thinking of maybe using Spring.Net on top of NMS, but on the one hand I don't want / need Spring.Net and more importantly, I just want to do something really simple, something that shouldn't require setting up a large dependency injection framework to accomplish. If anyone could find the missing 'TestMain.cs' file that is supposed to be on the getting started page, or if someone could provide a link or any sample code, that would be great :) Thanks, Christophe -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/C----.net---getting-started-tp23660800p23660800.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
