Detailed Description

A Connection object is a client's active connection to its message provider.

A connection serves several purposes:

• It encapsulates an open connection with a message provider. It typically represents an open TCP/IP socket between a client and the service provider software.
• Its creation is where client authentication takes place.
• It can specify a unique client identifier.

Member Function Documentation

CheckClientIDWasManuallySpecified()

TBTConnection::CheckClientIDWasManuallySpecified ( )

protected

Ensures that the ClientID was manually specified and not auto-generated.

If the ClientID was not specified this method will throw an exception. This method is used to ensure that the ClientID + durableSubscriber name are used correctly.

CheckClosedOrFailed()

TBTConnection::CheckClosedOrFailed ( )

protected

simply throws an exception if the Connection is already closed or the Transport has failed

Exceptions

EJMSException

CheckHeartbeat()

TBTConnection::CheckHeartbeat ( )

protected

Check for server heartbeat signal (requires Stomp 1.1)

Exceptions

ENoHeartbeat

if an expected server heartbeat was missing

Close()

TBTConnection::Close

(

)

Closes the connection.

Since a provider typically allocates significant resources on behalf of a connection, clients should close these resources when they are not needed.

CreateSession() [1/2]

ISession TBTConnection::CreateSession	(	const Boolean	Transacted,
		const TAcknowledgementMode	AcknowledgementMode
	)

Creates a new session to work on this connection, specifying transacted and acknowledgeMode.

Parameters

Transacted	- indicates whether the session is transacted
AcknowledgementMode	amTransactional, amClientAcknowledge, amAutoAcknowledge. Some brokers also support amClientIndividual (see documentation).

Returns

new session

CreateSession() [2/2]

ISession TBTConnection::CreateSession

(

const TAcknowledgementMode

ASessionMode

)

Creates a new session to work on this connection, specifying sessionMode.

Parameters

ASessionMode

amTransactional, amClientAcknowledge, amAutoAcknowledge. Some brokers also support amClientIndividual (see documentation).

Returns

new session

Since

2.1

ReceiveHeartbeat()

Boolean TBTConnection::ReceiveHeartbeat ( const Integer  ATimeout )

protected

Try to receive server heartbeat.

Requires Stomp 1.1

Parameters

ATimeout

timeout

Returns

True if a heartbeat signal was received

Start()

TBTConnection::Start

(

)

Starts (or restarts) a connection's delivery of incoming messages.

A call to start on a connection that has already been started is ignored.

StompProtocolVersion()

TStompProtocolVersion TBTConnection::StompProtocolVersion

(

)

Stomp protocol version of the current connection.

See also

IConnectionInfo

StompServerName()

string TBTConnection::StompServerName

(

)

Stomp server name.

See also

IConnectionInfo

StompSessionID()

string TBTConnection::StompSessionID

(

)

Stomp session ID.

See also

IConnectionInfo

Stop()

TBTConnection::Stop

(

)

Temporarily stops a connection's delivery of incoming messages.

Delivery can be restarted using the connection's Start method.

When the connection is stopped, delivery to all the connection's message consumers is inhibited: synchronous receives block, and messages are not delivered to message listeners.

This call blocks until receives and/or message listeners in progress have completed.

Stopping a connection has no effect on its ability to send messages. A call to stop on a connection that has already been stopped is ignored.

TransportConnected()

Boolean TBTConnection::TransportConnected

(

)

Is the transport layer connected?

Member Data Documentation

ClientID

string TBTConnection::ClientID

The client identifier for this connection.

The preferred way to assign a client's client identifier is for it to be configured in a client-specific ConnectionFactory object and transparently assigned to the Connection object it creates.

Alternatively, a client can set a connection's client identifier using a provider-specific value. The facility to set a connection's client identifier explicitly is not a mechanism for overriding the identifier that has been administratively configured. It is provided for the case where no administratively specified identifier exists. If one does exist, an attempt to change it by setting it must throw an IllegalStateException. If a client sets the client identifier explicitly, it must do so immediately after it creates the connection and before any other action on the connection is taken. After this point, setting the client identifier is a programming error that should throw an IllegalStateException.

The purpose of the client identifier is to associate a connection and its objects with a state maintained on behalf of the client by a provider. The only such state identified by the API is that required to support durable subscriptions.

If another connection with the same clientID is already running when this method is called, the message provider should detect the duplicate ID and throw an InvalidClientIDException.
