I'm kind of new to these protocols, and just started exploring Message brokers like Apache Apollo and RabbitMQ.
So my broker receives MQTT messages from a publisher. And I would like to convert it into AMQP (preferably) or STOMP protocol to send to a web server. But I've so far been unable to do so.
I looked into RabbitMQ, and tried enabling the MQTT plugin, but when I do load it, I'm unable to start the server.
I was wondering if anyone can guide me here? Is there an API that can help me? And I'm very confused about RabbitMQ. I've been able to load other plugins easily,like stomp, management utilities etc.
I'm 100% sure it is doable. I am doing it right now with robomq.io broker. One cause could be sometimes bugs in your client library restrict you doing so.
Another thing you should be aware of is that internally, RabbitMQ MQTT adapter is mapped into amq.topic exchange by default, so on your STOMP peer, you should subscribe or send to /topic/yourTopic; on your AMQP peer, bind your queue to amq.topic exchange or publish to that exchange.
Follow this example code and documentation to build your client.
If you can't figure out your server, just get a free trial from robomq.io. It saves you time and money.
The development tool I am using is robomq.io broker, producers in Python (AMQP library: pika, MQTT library: paho, STOMP library: stompest), consumer in Node.js (library: amqplib).
Hope it helps!
Well, I'm not sure if this question should be taken down. But if it has to be I leave it to the discretion of the moderators and the stackOverflow community in general.
btw, I use Ubuntu 14.04.
About the RabbitMQ broker
So Mosquitto was running un the background occupying the port 1883 normally used for MQTT. I could have changed the port for RabbitMQ, but decided against it and tried to kill the Mosquitto process. But for some reason, I could NOT.
For now, my quick fix was removing Mosquitto completely and this freed the port, enabling RabbitMQ to use it.
About the protocols
I've used Paho and the RabbitMQ libraries provided to code out simple programs that can publish and receive messages in AMQP/MQTT via the RabbitMQ broker.
(My Googling needs to be better!)
Still haven't converted one to the other. But that shouldn't be too big a step to achieve.
Still would be nice to know if there's an API or something that can help me achieve the conversion in a very simple manner. Of course, if there's not, I'll figure it out ASAP
Any suggestions/comments are heartily welcome. I'm brand new to all this and could really use advice from all you seasoned pros :)

I'm confused with different message brokers.
My devices are using MQTT. So far I have looked at HiveMQ, IBM Messagesight, RabbitMQ, google pub and sub, AWS SQS.
What's the difference between HiveMQ(MQTT message broker) and RabbitMQ (or pub and sub, SQS)?
Besides the protocol and cost might be different, is there any difference in their functionalities? And one more question, is IBM messagesight a message broker, is it any different from google pub and sub or rabbit?
I cannot find any information about messagesight.
Generally, you can use Mosquitto, RabbitMQ, HiveMQ or other broker for MQTT.
Mosquitto and RabbitMQ are open source (free), HiveMQ is now (2020) also open source, before you could try it for free. I've only used Mosquitto and RabbitMQ, my comments for them:
Mosquitto: easy to configure, but we've experienced some instability of it, it just stopped working for no reason after running few days, so we decided to switch to RabbitMQ.
RabbitMQ: has plugin for MQTT, the configuration is more complicated than mosquitto. It took me a full day to figure out how to use MQTT with SSL login. RabbitMQ comes with a management plugin, which provides a nice GUI (no GUI for mosquitto).
I have a project where we are using Rabbit MQ has message broker, I have below concern, please help on the same.
If Rabbit MQ goes down, how we can retrieve the queued message.is there any configuration in rabbit MQ?
Can we implement same in java thread and collection combination, that can be used as alternative to rabbit MQ? if yes help with an example.
'You should listen to ShutdownListenercallback on both Connection and Channelclasses'. By this way, you know if the queue is down. After that, you need to re-transmit your queued messages. This is what official documentations says. https://www.rabbitmq.com/reliability.html
Of course you can implement your own library, but you have to think if this would be better for you. I suggest you not to do that. RabbitMQ is a well-known open source library that many people use and trust for years. I think there is no side-effect using that in any project.
Deploy RabbitMQ on Kubernetes with stateful sets. This will replicate state in multiple instances. One of them will be primary. Failover will be handled by Kubernetes.
See https://kublr.com/blog/reliable-fault-tolerant-messaging-rabbitmq-kublr/
Can anyone point me to decent example where Java stomp client is used to connect to ActiveMQ.
Also I am interested in following:
Is failover supported over stomp?
How to create durable subscription?
Does stomp support asynchronous messaging? Examples? I think I have to implement MessageListener interface for it, but I wasn't able to find example for this.
If you really want to use STOMP from Java then you could look at StompJMS which maps quite a bit of the JMS API to STOMP. It doesn't support failover but there aren't a lot of stomp client's that do. When using Java you are better off to use the native JMS client from the ActiveMQ broker as it is going to be the most robust and feature complete client library you will find.
RabbitMQ supports multiple protocols, AMQP, MQTT, STOMP, ....
When using PHP for example, it's easier to publish using the STOMP library since the PHP AMQP libraries requires compiled C code and is somewhat of a mission to setup if you don't have to.
On the JAVA side, apache camel with AMQP on spring is pretty straight forward.
Is it possible to setup a queue, publish to it via STOMP and then consume via AMQP and then again publish via AMQP and consume via STOMP if the message broker is RabbitMQ?
Yes, this should work, given that you have installed RabbitMQ's STOMP plugin on your RabbitMQ node(s).
The protocol only defines the communication between client and server and has no impact on a message itself.
You should note that using protocols other than AMQP will most likely come along with limitations and/or worse performance.
There also exist native PHP libraries for RabbitMQ that don't require compiling C code. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you which one is the best, because I am a Java guy ;-).
I'm developing a STOMP binding for Ada, which is working fine utilizing TCP/IP as the transport between the client and an ActiveMQ server configured as a STOMP broker. I thought to support UDP as well (i.e. STOMP over UDP), however, the lack of pertinent information in the ActiveMQ documentation or in web searches suggests to me that this isn't possible, and perhaps it doesn't even make any sense :-)
Confirmation one way or the other (and an ActiveMQ configuration excerpt if this is possible) would be appreciated.
this is not implemented in ActiveMQ at the moment as Stomp transport uses TCP only. It is possible to implement, so if you have a time to do it, give it a try.
