AMQP Broker Connection demonstrating Federation over SSL connections

If you have not already done so, prepare the broker distribution before running the example.

To run the example, simply type mvn verify from this directory, or mvn -PnoServer verify if you want to create and start the broker manually.

This example demonstrates how you can federate messages sent to an Address on a remote server back to the local server and also instruct the remote server to federate messages sent to a Queue on the local server back to itself over a single AMQP connection. The connection is made using a connector and acceptor with SSL configured.

The broker accepting the connection needs an acceptor on the remote to connect to which is configured as follows

<acceptor name="ssl-acceptor">tcp://localhost:5770?sslEnabled=true;keyStorePath=server-keystore.p12;keyStorePassword=securepass;keyStoreType=PKCS12</acceptor>

While the connecting broker needs to configure its broker connection URI to enable SSL and provide a trust store that include the broker certificate or certificate of the signing authority indicating the remote certificate can be trusted.

<broker-connections>
  <amqp-connection uri="tcp://localhost:5770?sslEnabled=true;trustStorePath=server-ca-truststore.p12;trustStorePassword=securepass;trustStoreType=PKCS12" name="federation-example" retry-interval="100">
    ...
  </amqp-connection>
</broker-connections>

The keystore and trustores used in the example were generated with store-generation.txt
