We have upgraded our Apache Artemis broker from version 2.10.1 to latest
2.17.0 in order to get improved management console functionality (provided
by hawtio 2).
We were especially hoping that the upgraded console could show the message
content for large messages.
Both AMQP (.NET clients) and an Apache Camel bridge publishes messages to
the broker. We are running Artemis on Windows.
Artemis 2.10.1
============
In version 2.10.1, all messages labeled as "large" and stored in the
data\large-messages folder cannot be displayed, using a test message/file
that has the size 1.5 MB:
"Unsupported message body type which cannot be displayed by hawtio"
I have been using default values for minLargeMessageSize on the acceptors
and Camel Connection factory:
Artemis 2.17.0
============
The same 1.5 MB message sent via AMQP shows some inconsistent behavior.
Acceptor:
<acceptor
name="artemis">tcp://0.0.0.0:61616?tcpSendBufferSize=1048576;tcpReceiveBuffe
rSize=1048576;amqpMinLargeMessageSize=102400;protocols=CORE,AMQP;useEpoll=tr
ue;amqpCredits=1000;amqpLowCredits=300;amqpDuplicateDetection=true</acceptor
>
The large message content can be displayed in the console.
However the column Large = false for this message even if it is much larger
than 102400 bytes.
But the message is stored under the folder data\large-messages. So here is
the inconsistency, the message is large, but since Large=false, the content
can be displayed in the console (which is what I want).
If the same 1.5 MB content is pasted into "Send Message" in the console,
Large=true and the content cannot be displayed, it just says "(large
message)"
Also if the message is received via the Apache Camel bridge, we get the same
behaviour. Large=true and the content cannot be displayed. That is a problem
for us!
To sum it up
==========
How can I display message content for "large messages" to some extent? I
understand that the console cannot show infinitely large messages, but maybe
up to some limit where it truncates.
