target or message source.
<a class="footnote" href="#ftn.d0e1273" id="d0e1273"><sup class="footnote">[1]</sup></a>
The methods that create senders and receivers require an
address. The details of sending to a particular target or
receiving from a particular source are then handled by the
sender or receiver. A different target or source can be used
simply by using a different address.
</p><p>An address resolves to a <em class="firstterm">node</em>. The
Qpid Messaging API recognises two kinds of nodes,
<em class="firstterm">queues</em> and <em class="firstterm">topics</em>
<a class="footnote" href="#ftn.d0e1291" id="d0e1291"><sup class="footnote">[2]</sup></a>.
A queue stores each message until it has been received and
acknowledged, and only one receiver can receive a given message
<a class="footnote" href="#ftn.d0e1307" id="d0e1307"><sup class="footnote">[3]</sup></a>.
A topic immediately delivers a message to all eligible
receivers; if there are no eligible receivers, it discards the
message. In the AMQP 0-10 implementation of the API,
<a class="footnote" href="#ftn.d0e1314" id="d0e1314"><sup class="footnote">[4]</sup></a>
queues map to AMQP queues, and topics map to AMQP exchanges.
<a class="footnote" href="#ftn.d0e1318" id="d0e1318"><sup class="footnote">[5]</sup></a>
</p><p>In the rest of this tutorial, we present many examples
using two programs that take an address as a command line
parameter. <span class="command"><strong>spout</strong></span> sends messages to the
target address, <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> receives messages from
the source address. The source code is available in C++, Python, and
.NET C# and can be found in the examples directory for each
language. These programs can use any address string as a source
or a destination, and have many command line options to
configure behavior&#8212;use the <span class="command"><strong>-h</strong></span> option
for documentation on these options.
<a class="footnote" href="#ftn.d0e1333" id="d0e1333"><sup class="footnote">[6]</sup></a>
The examples in this tutorial also use the
<span class="command"><strong>qpid-config</strong></span> utility to configure AMQP 0-10
queues and exchanges on a Qpid broker.
</p><div class="example"><a id="d0e1346"></a><p class="title"><strong>Example&#160;2.3.&#160;Queues</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><p>Create a queue with <span class="command"><strong>qpid-config</strong></span>, send a message using
<span class="command"><strong>spout</strong></span>, and read it using <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span>:</p><pre class="screen">
$ qpid-config add queue hello-world
$ ./spout hello-world
$ ./drain hello-world
Message(properties={spout-id:c877e622-d57b-4df2-bf3e-6014c68da0ea:0}, content='')
</pre><p>The queue stored the message sent by <span class="command"><strong>spout</strong></span> and delivered
it to <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> when requested.</p><p>Once the message has been delivered and and acknowledged
by <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span>, it is no longer available on the queue. If we run
<span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> one more time, no messages will be retrieved.</p><pre class="screen">
$ ./drain hello-world
$
</pre></div></div><br class="example-break" /><div class="example"><a id="d0e1380"></a><p class="title"><strong>Example&#160;2.4.&#160;Topics</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><p>This example is similar to the previous example, but it
uses a topic instead of a queue.</p><p>First, use <span class="command"><strong>qpid-config</strong></span> to remove the queue
and create an exchange with the same name:</p><pre class="screen">
$ qpid-config del queue hello-world
$ qpid-config add exchange topic hello-world
</pre><p>Now run <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>spout</strong></span> the same way we did in the previous example:</p><pre class="screen">
$ ./spout hello-world
$ ./drain hello-world
$
</pre><p>Topics deliver messages immediately to any interested
receiver, and do not store messages. Because there were no
receivers at the time <span class="command"><strong>spout</strong></span> sent the
message, it was simply discarded. When we ran
<span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span>, there were no messages to
receive.</p><p>Now let's run <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> first, using the
<code class="literal">-t</code> option to specify a timeout in seconds.
While <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> is waiting for messages,
run <span class="command"><strong>spout</strong></span> in another window.</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>First Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
$ ./drain -t 30 hello-word
</pre><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Second Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
$ ./spout hello-word
</pre><p>Once <span class="command"><strong>spout</strong></span> has sent a message, return
to the first window to see the output from
<span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span>:</p><pre class="screen">
Message(properties={spout-id:7da2d27d-93e6-4803-8a61-536d87b8d93f:0}, content='')
</pre><p>You can run <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> in several separate
windows; each creates a subscription for the exchange, and
each receives all messages sent to the exchange.</p></div></div><br class="example-break" /><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="d0e1449"></a>2.4.1.&#160;Address Strings</h3></div></div></div><p>So far, our examples have used address strings that
contain only the name of a node. An <em class="firstterm">address
string</em> can also contain a
<em class="firstterm">subject</em> and
<em class="firstterm">options</em>.</p><p>The syntax for an address string is:</p><pre class="programlisting">
address_string ::= &lt;address&gt; [ / &lt;subject&gt; ] [ ; &lt;options&gt; ]
options ::= { &lt;key&gt; : &lt;value&gt;, ... }
</pre><p>Addresses, subjects, and keys are strings. Values can
be numbers, strings (with optional single or double quotes),
maps, or lists. A complete BNF for address strings appears in
<a class="xref" href="JMS-Client-0-10-Configuring-Addresses.html#section-address-string-bnf" title="2.4.4.&#160;Address String Grammar">Section&#160;2.4.4, &#8220;Address String Grammar&#8221;</a>.</p><p>So far, the address strings in this tutorial have only
used simple names. The following sections show how to use
subjects and options.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="d0e1473"></a>2.4.2.&#160;Subjects</h3></div></div></div><p>Every message has a property called
<em class="firstterm">subject</em>, which is analogous to the
subject on an email message. If no subject is specified, the
message's subject is null. For convenience, address strings
also allow a subject. If a sender's address contains a
subject, it is used as the default subject for the messages
it sends.
</p><p>
</p><p>
If a receiver's address contains a subject, it is used to
select only messages that match the subject&#8212;the matching
algorithm depends on the message source. In AMQP 0-10, each exchange
type has its own matching algorithm.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Currently, a receiver bound to a queue ignores subjects,
receiving messages from the queue without filtering. Support
for subject filtering on queues will be implemented soon.
</p></div><div class="example"><a id="d0e1487"></a><p class="title"><strong>Example&#160;2.5.&#160;Using subjects</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><p>In this example we show how subjects affect message
flow.</p><p>First, let's use <span class="command"><strong>qpid-config</strong></span> to create a topic exchange.</p><pre class="screen">
$ qpid-config add exchange topic news-service
</pre><p>Now we use drain to receive messages from <code class="literal">news-service</code> that match the subject <code class="literal">sports</code>.</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>First Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
$ ./drain -t 30 news-service/sports
</pre><p>In a second window, let's send messages to <code class="literal">news-service</code> using two different subjects:</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Second Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
$ ./spout news-service/sports
$ ./spout news-service/news
</pre><p>Now look at the first window, the message with the
subject <code class="literal">sports</code> has been received, but not
the message with the subject <code class="literal">news</code>:</p><pre class="screen">
Message(properties={qpid.subject:sports, spout-id:9441674e-a157-4780-a78e-f7ccea998291:0}, content='')
</pre><p>If you run <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> in multiple
windows using the same subject, all instances of
<span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> receive the messages for that
subject.</p></div></div><br class="example-break" /><p>The AMQP exchange type we are using here,
<code class="literal">amq.topic</code>, can also do more sophisticated
matching.
A sender's subject can contain multiple words separated by a
<span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">.</span>&#8221;</span> delimiter. For instance, in a news
application, the sender might use subjects like
<code class="literal">usa.news</code>, <code class="literal">usa.weather</code>,
<code class="literal">europe.news</code>, or
<code class="literal">europe.weather</code>.
The receiver's subject can include wildcard characters&#8212;
<span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">#</span>&#8221;</span> matches one or more words in the message's
subject, <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">*</span>&#8221;</span> matches a single word.
For instance, if the subject in the source address is
<code class="literal">*.news</code>, it matches messages with the
subject <code class="literal">europe.news</code> or
<code class="literal">usa.news</code>; if it is
<code class="literal">europe.#</code>, it matches messages with subjects
like <code class="literal">europe.news</code> or
<code class="literal">europe.pseudo.news</code>.</p><div class="example"><a id="d0e1584"></a><p class="title"><strong>Example&#160;2.6.&#160;Subjects with multi-word keys</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><p>This example uses drain and spout to demonstrate the
use of subjects with two-word keys.</p><p>Let's use <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> with the subject
<code class="literal">*.news</code> to listen for messages in which
the second word of the key is
<code class="literal">news</code>.</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>First Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
$ ./drain -t 30 news-service/*.news
</pre><p>Now let's send messages using several different
two-word keys:</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Second Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
$ ./spout news-service/usa.news
$ ./spout news-service/usa.sports
$ ./spout news-service/europe.sports
$ ./spout news-service/europe.news
</pre><p>In the first window, the messages with
<code class="literal">news</code> in the second word of the key have
been received:</p><pre class="screen">
Message(properties={qpid.subject:usa.news, spout-id:73fc8058-5af6-407c-9166-b49a9076097a:0}, content='')
Message(properties={qpid.subject:europe.news, spout-id:f72815aa-7be4-4944-99fd-c64c9747a876:0}, content='')
</pre><p>Next, let's use <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span> with the
subject <code class="literal">#.news</code> to match any sequence of
words that ends with <code class="literal">news</code>.</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>First Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
$ ./drain -t 30 news-service/#.news
</pre><p>In the second window, let's send messages using a
variety of different multi-word keys:</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Second Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
$ ./spout news-service/news
$ ./spout news-service/sports
$ ./spout news-service/usa.news

$ ./spout news-service/usa.faux.news
$ ./spout news-service/usa.faux.sports
</pre><p>In the first window, messages with

The options in an address string can contain additional
information for the senders or receivers created for it,
including:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Policies for assertions about the node to which an address
refers.
</p><p>
For instance, in the address string <code class="literal">my-queue;
{assert: always, node:{ type: queue }}</code>, the node
named <code class="literal">my-queue</code> must be a queue; if not,
the address does not resolve to a node, and an exception
is raised.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Policies for automatically creating or deleting the node to which an address refers.
</p><p>
For instance, in the address string <code class="literal">xoxox ; {create: always}</code>,
the queue <code class="literal">xoxox</code> is created, if it does
not exist, before the address is resolved.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Extension points that can be used for sender/receiver configuration.
</p><p>
For instance, if the address for a receiver is
<code class="literal">my-queue; {mode: browse}</code>, the receiver
works in <code class="literal">browse</code> mode, leaving messages
on the queue so other receivers can receive them.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Extension points providing more direct control over the underlying protocol.
</p><p>
For instance, the <code class="literal">x-bindings</code> property
allows greater control over the AMQP 0-10 binding process
when an address is resolved.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Let's use some examples to show how these different kinds of
address string options affect the behavior of senders and
receives.
</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="d0e1698"></a>2.4.3.1.&#160;assert</h4></div></div></div><p>
In this section, we use the <code class="literal">assert</code> option
to ensure that the address resolves to a node of the required
type.
</p><div class="example"><a id="d0e1706"></a><p class="title"><strong>Example&#160;2.7.&#160;Assertions on Nodes</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><p>Let's use <span class="command"><strong>qpid-config</strong></span> to create a
queue and a topic.</p><pre class="screen">
$ qpid-config add queue my-queue
$ qpid-config add exchange topic my-topic
</pre><p>
We can now use the address specified to drain to assert that it is
of a particular type:
</p><pre class="screen">
$ ./drain 'my-queue; {assert: always, node:{ type: queue }}'
$ ./drain 'my-queue; {assert: always, node:{ type: topic }}'

</pre><p>
The first attempt passed without error as my-queue is indeed a
queue. The second attempt however failed; my-queue is not a
topic.
</p><p>
We can do the same thing for my-topic:
</p><pre class="screen">

be achieved by including an <code class="literal">x-bindings</code>
option in an address string.
For instance, the XML Exchange is an AMQP 0-10 custom exchange
provided by the Apache Qpid C++ broker. It allows messages to
be filtered using XQuery; queries can address either message
properties or XML content in the body of the message. The
xquery is specified in the arguments field of the AMQP 0-10
command. When using the messaging API an xquery can be
specified in and address that resolves to an XML exchange by
using the x-bindings property.</p><p>An instance of the XML Exchange must be added before it
can be used:</p><pre class="programlisting">
$ qpid-config add exchange xml xml
</pre><p>When using the XML Exchange, a receiver provides an
XQuery as an x-binding argument. If the query contains a
context item (a path starting with <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">.</span>&#8221;</span>), then it
is applied to the content of the message, which must be
well-formed XML. For instance, <code class="literal">./weather</code> is
a valid XQuery, which matches any message in which the root
element is named <code class="literal">weather</code>. Here is an
address string that contains this query:</p><pre class="programlisting">
xml; {
link: {
x-bindings: [{exchange:xml, key:weather, arguments:{xquery:"./weather"} }]
}
}
</pre><p>When using longer queries with <span class="command"><strong>drain</strong></span>,
it is often useful to place the query in a file, and use
<span class="command"><strong>cat</strong></span> in the command line. We do this in the
following example.</p><div class="example"><a id="d0e1824"></a><p class="title"><strong>Example&#160;2.10.&#160;Using the XML Exchange</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><p>This example uses an x-binding that contains queries, which filter based on the content of XML messages. Here is an XQuery that we will use in this example:</p><pre class="programlisting">
let $w := ./weather
return $w/station = 'Raleigh-Durham International Airport (KRDU)'
and $w/temperature_f &gt; 50
and $w/temperature_f - $w/dewpoint &gt; 5
and $w/wind_speed_mph &gt; 7
and $w/wind_speed_mph &lt; 20
</pre><p>We can specify this query in an x-binding to listen to messages that meet the criteria specified by the query:</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>First Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
$ ./drain -f "xml; {link:{x-bindings:[{key:'weather',
arguments:{xquery:\"$(cat rdu.xquery )\"}}]}}"
</pre><p>In another window, let's create an XML message that meets the criteria in the query, and place it in the file <code class="filename">rdu.xml</code>:</p><pre class="programlisting">
&lt;weather&gt;
&lt;station&gt;Raleigh-Durham International Airport (KRDU)&lt;/station&gt;
&lt;wind_speed_mph&gt;16&lt;/wind_speed_mph&gt;
&lt;temperature_f&gt;70&lt;/temperature_f&gt;
&lt;dewpoint&gt;35&lt;/dewpoint&gt;
&lt;/weather&gt;
</pre><p>Now let's use <span class="command"><strong>spout</strong></span> to send this message to the XML exchange:</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Second Window:</em></span></p><pre class="screen">
spout --content "$(cat rdu.xml)" xml/weather
</pre><p>Returning to the first window, we see that the message has been received:</p><pre class="screen">$ ./drain -f "xml; {link:{x-bindings:[{exchange:'xml', key:'weather', arguments:{xquery:\"$(cat rdu.xquery )\"}}]}}"
Message(properties={qpid.subject:weather, spout-id:31c431de-593f-4bec-a3dd-29717bd945d3:0},
content='&lt;weather&gt;
&lt;station&gt;Raleigh-Durham International Airport (KRDU)&lt;/station&gt;
&lt;wind_speed_mph&gt;16&lt;/wind_speed_mph&gt;
&lt;temperature_f&gt;40&lt;/temperature_f&gt;
&lt;dewpoint&gt;35&lt;/dewpoint&gt;

assert
</td><td>
one of: always, never, sender or receiver
</td><td>
Asserts that the properties specified in the node option
match whatever the address resolves to. If they do not,
resolution fails and an exception is raised.
</td></tr><tr><td>
create
</td><td>
one of: always, never, sender or receiver
</td><td>
Creates the node to which an address refers if it does
not exist. No error is raised if the node does
exist. The details of the node may be specified in the
node option.
</td></tr><tr><td>
delete
</td><td>
one of: always, never, sender or receiver
</td><td>
Delete the node when the sender or receiver is closed.
</td></tr><tr><td>
node
</td><td>
A nested map containing the entries shown in <a class="xref" href="JMS-Client-0-10-Configuring-Addresses.html#table-node-properties" title="Table&#160;2.15.&#160;Node Properties">Table&#160;2.15, &#8220;Node Properties&#8221;</a>.
</td><td>
Specifies properties of the node to which the address
refers. These are used in conjunction with the assert or
create options.

Used to control the establishment of a conceptual link
from the client application to or from the target/source
address.

</td><td>
one of: browse, consume
</td><td>
This option is only of relevance for source addresses
that resolve to a queue. If browse is specified the
messages delivered to the receiver are left on the queue
rather than being removed. If consume is specified the
normal behaviour applies; messages are removed from the
queue once the client acknowledges their receipt.

x-declare
</td><td>
A nested map whose values correspond to the valid fields
on an AMQP 0-10 queue-declare or exchange-declare
command.
</td><td>
These values are used to fine tune the creation or
assertion process. Note however that they are protocol
specific.
</td></tr><tr><td>
x-bindings
</td><td>
A nested list in which each binding is represented by
a map. The entries of the map for a binding contain
the fields that describe an AMQP 0-10 binding. Here is
the format for x-bindings:
<pre class="programlisting">
[

&lt;key_1&gt;: &lt;value_1&gt;,
...,
&lt;key_n&gt;: &lt;value_n&gt; }
},
...
]
</pre>
</td><td>
In conjunction with the create option, each of these
bindings is established as the address is resolved. In
conjunction with the assert option, the existence of
each of these bindings is verified during
resolution. Again, these are protocol specific.

reliability
</td><td>
one of: unreliable, at-least-once, at-most-once, exactly-once
</td><td>
Reliability indicates the level of reliability that
the sender or receiver. <code class="literal">unreliable</code>
and <code class="literal">at-most-once</code> are currently
treated as synonyms, and allow messages to be lost if
a broker crashes or the connection to a broker is
lost. <code class="literal">at-least-once</code> guarantees that
a message is not lost, but duplicates may be
received. <code class="literal">exactly-once</code> guarantees
that a message is not lost, and is delivered precisely
once. Currently only <code class="literal">unreliable</code>
and <code class="literal">at-least-once</code> are supported.
<a class="footnote" href="#ftn.d0e2016" id="d0e2016"><sup class="footnote">[a]</sup></a>
</td></tr><tr><td>
durable
</td><td>
True, False
</td><td>
Indicates whether the link survives a loss of
volatile storage e.g. if the broker is restarted.
</td></tr><tr><td>
x-declare
</td><td>
A nested map whose values correspond to the valid fields
of an AMQP 0-10 queue-declare command.
</td><td>
These values can be used to customise the subscription
queue in the case of receiving from an exchange. Note
however that they are protocol specific.
</td></tr><tr><td>
x-subscribe
</td><td>
A nested map whose values correspond to the valid fields
of an AMQP 0-10 message-subscribe command.
</td><td>
These values can be used to customise the subscription.
</td></tr><tr><td>
x-bindings
</td><td>
A nested list each of whose entries is a map that may
contain fields (queue, exchange, key and arguments)
describing an AMQP 0-10 binding.
</td><td>
These bindings are established during resolution
independent of the create option. They are considered
logically part of the linking process rather than of
node creation.
</td></tr><tr><td>
delay
</td><td>
long
</td><td>
The delay (in milliseconds) between the time a message is sent by a MessageProducer, and
the earliest time it becomes visible to consumers on any queue onto which it has been placed. Note that
this value only has an affect on brokers which support the feature (currently only the Apache Qpid
Broker-J), and only on queues where delivery delay has been enabled.
