I need to handle advisories messages from the ActiveMQ.Advisory.Connection topic from one broker to another broker that is using a network connectors.
On broker A, that is linked broker B, if a client Ca is connecting, I would like the client Cb to receive the advisoiry message of A.
Is it possible ?
As I did not tried by myself, I firstly though the Advisory topics are treated as other topics but it seems not to be the case as explained in this post
The documentation on the Advisory topics does not mentions this and the above post is written by an ActiveMQ developer which seems to be a reliable source.
When connecting to Advisory topics, you have to be careful if you have authorization in place: you must give read/write access to all clients to the Advisory Topics like said in the security doc. This SO question relates exactly the issue you can have by not configuring properly the security.
On your side, I would recommend to create a network of broker with e.g. a Docker Compose and test it locally.

We are currently looking at ActiveMQ.
Previously we've used RabbitMQ and in particular Direct exchanges whereby a producer can send a single message to a broker which then fans this out onto 1:N other queues.
We would like a similar setup in ActiveMQ where the broker holds the configuration for which messages go where, rather than the services sending messages directly to specific queues or consumers needing to subscribe to specific topics.
I've dug into the documentation and found Virtual Topic Composite Destinations which looks to provide this functionality.
What I am trying to understand now is if this is the ActiveMQ recommended approach and if there are any pitfalls I should be wary of?
Any ActiveMQ war stories much appreciated!
Q: we want publish same message in different Activemq servers. can we have any approach. like we will publish once and activemq changes will give a forward that message to another instance.
or is there any way we can do it by the activemq config changes?
There is not much context in the question but a simple Topic together with Network of brokers should do that.
The idea is that you connect multiple brokers using "network of brokers", then messages sent to a topic will be available to all clients on all brokers throughout the network.
There are a lot of corner cases when it comes to network of brokers and topics, but it should do the work.
I would like to use MassTransmit similar to NServiceBus, every publisher and subscriber has a local queue. However I want to use RabbitMQ.
So do all my desktop clients have to have RabbitMQ installed, I think so, then should I just connect the 50 desktop clients and 2 servers into a cluster?
I know the two servers must be in the same cluster. However 50 client nodes, seems a bi tmuch to put in one cluster.....Or should I shovel them or Federate them to the server cluster exchange?
The desktop machine send messages like: LockOrder, UnLock Order.
The Servers are dealing with backend hl7 messages.
Any help and advice here is much appreciated, this is all on windows machines.
Basically I am leaving NServiceBus behind, as it is now too expensive, they aiming it at large corporations with big budgets, hence Masstransmit.
However I want reliable/durable messaging, hence local queues on ALL publishers and ALL subscribers.
The desktops also use CQS to update their views.
should I just connect the 50 desktop clients and 2 servers into a cluster?
Yes, you have to connected your clients to the cluster.
However 50 client nodes, seems a bi tmuch to put in one cluster.
No, (or it depends how big are your servers) 50 clients is a small number
Or should I shovel them or Federate them to the server cluster exchange?
The desktop machine send messages like: LockOrder, UnLock Order.
I think it's better the cluster, because federation and shovel are asynchronous, it means that your LockOrder could be not replicated in time.
However I want reliable/durable messaging, hence local queues on ALL publishers and ALL subscribers
Withe RMQ you can create a persistent queue and messages, and it is not necessary if the client(s) is connected. It will get the messages when it will connect to the broker.
I hope it helps.
I have a FOSS ESB rpoject called Shuttle, if you would like to give it a spin: https://github.com/Shuttle/shuttle-esb
I haven't used NServiceBus for a while and actually started Shuttle when it went commercial. The implementation is somewhat different from NServiceBus. I don't know MassTransit at all, though. Currently process managers (sagas) have to be hand-rolled in Shuttle whereas MassTransit and NServiceBus have this incorporated. If I do get around to adding sagas I'll be adding them as a Module that can be plugged into the receiving pipeline. This way one could have various implementations and choose the flavour you like :)
Back to your issue. Shuttle has the concept of an optional outbox for queuing technologies like RabbitMQ. Shuttle does have a RabbitMQ implementation. I believe the outbox works somewhat like 'shovel' does. So the outbox would be local and sending messages would first go to the outbox. It would periodically try to send messages on to the recipients and, after a configurable number of attempts, send the message to an error queue. It can then be returned to the outbox for further attempts, or even moved directly to the recipient queue once it is up.

I'm attempting to set up a pub/sub system. My technical director has suggested using Rabbitmq and STOMP for the project I've been assigned.
In this system I want exchanges to be created on the server side and passed to the user to subscribe to. I want a user to subscribe to an exchange and receive information as it becomes available. I do not want the client to have the ability to subscribe to arbitrary exchanges (or routing keys for topic exchanges, I'm not sure what system I want to use yet).
For example, if someone works for a company widgetInk, when they logged in to our website they would receive a connection to the widgetInk.whatever exchange and AllUsers.whatever exchange, but that's it. if the Client side attempted to subscribe to something else they'd get an error.
I've gone through all of the RabbitMQ tutorials and I've looked through their how to section. I found this basic article on access control, but having read it three times now I still don't know if rabbitmq is a good fit for my requirements.
Can Rabbitmq be configured for my requirements? What resources can I use to learn about Rabbitmq's permission system? Has anyone build or used a system like this? Would it be in my best interest to switch to ZeroMQ or ActiveMQ?
I'd like to mention another platform you might use: Autobahn (Open-Source) or WebMQ (based on Autobahn).
WebMQ provides these features (besides a lot of other out of the box):
PubSub over WebSocket (WAMP)
Authentication of client sessions (WAMP-CRA)
fine-grained configurable authorization for topics
If you want to go the Open-source/build-your-own road, here are some tutorials. If you want an integrated, commercially supported product with Web UI for configuration/administration, please get in contact.
Disclaimer: I am creator of Autobahn/WAMP and work for Tavendo.
I'm currently in the middle of developing a webapplication which needs a websocket connection to receive notifications of events from the server.
The clients are separated in groups and all the clients in a group must receive the same event notifications.
I thought that ActiveMQ could probably support this model, using different queues for each group of clients. It would also be relatively easy to push events to ActiveMQ using stomp, and then use stomp-over-websockets for the clients.
The problem I see is that messages should not be consumed by only one client, but distributed to all the clients connected to the queue.
Also the queue should not be stored. If a client is not connected when the event is generated, then it will never receive it.
I don't know ActiveMQ that much, so I'm not sure if this is possible or if there is another easy solution that could be used instead of writing my own message server.
Thanks
ActiveMQ 5.4.1 supports WebSockets natively (just like Stomp, JMS, etc.).
There is the concept of queues (you mentioned these), but also of topics.
In a queue, a single message will be received by exactly one consumer, in a topic
it goes to all the subscribers. See: http://activemq.apache.org/how-does-a-queue-compare-to-a-topic.html
There are some Stomp-WebSocket JS libraries floating around. Kaazing has a bundle that includes ActiveMQ and supports JMS API/Stomp protocol over WebSockets with support for older browsers, different client technologies, and Cross-Site security.
Look at Pusher, otherwise you'll need something that supports topic based pub/sub. You could look at Redis or RabbitMQ
