HiI'm new to Qpid and to this list, please be gentle :-) Is it possible to create a federation, in which a Qpid instance is the source broker and an ActiveMQ instance is the destination (on a remote host)? Out of the box, this doesn't appear possible because ActiveMQ requires a connection be made using the AMQP 1.0 protocol. So far, I have managed to get the Qpid (qpidd-cpp-server-0.34, on Centos 7) to run in AMQP 1.0 mode: qpidd --protocol amqp1.0 But then my local qpid-config wouldn't connect to it, unless I enabled AMQP 0.10, so I am running it like this: qpidd --protocol amqp1.0 --protocol amqp0-10
The --protocol option only restricts enabled protocols. It is not required for them to be enabled in the first place.
AMQP 1.0 support is compiled as a separate library, amqp.so, and can be loaded with --load-module /path/to/amqp.so. By default all modules in the default module directory will be loaded, so it may already be loaded.
Otherwise, how else can I begin to set up the federation route from Qpid? But, it would seem this isn't quite enough, as qpid-config doesn't seem to want to use AMQP 1.0... When I try: qpid-config add domain some-domain-name -b remote-activemq-host-name ActiveMQ complains that a non AMQP v1.0 connection was attempted, and so the qpid-config command fails. Do I need to install AMQP 1.0 compatible config tools for Qpid? Are there any?
No. qpid-config is indeed tied (though only very loosely) to amqp 0-10 at present. However it also will only work against qpidd. In order to establish a connection to activemq, you would need to create the domain on qpidd. The qpidd instance will then initiate the connection when you define incoming or outgoing links for that domain.
Depending on what you want to achieve, a better approach might also be to use the dispatch router (also from the Qpid project), to connect the two brokers in some way.
