= Thrift AMQP transport
== DESCRIPTION
Transports thrift messages over a the advanced message queue protocol. (AMQP)
Because of the unconnected broadcasting nature of the message queue, this
transport supports only one-way communication.
The usage scenario is that you would use this to broadcast information about
services (1 producer, n consumers) and then create point to point connections
from client to service using normal (TCP) thrift. You gain the advantage of
using only one interface definition language (IDL).
== SYNOPSIS
Using the following interface definition:
service AwesomeService {
// a little hommage
oneway void battleCry(1:string battlecry);
}
On the server (consumer of messages):
class MyAwesomeHandler
def battleCry(message)
puts messages
end
end
handler = MyAwesomeHandler.new()
processor = AwesomeService::Processor.new(handler)
# Connecting to the exchange called 'battle_cry'. This must match the
# clients setting.
server_transport = Thrift::AMQP::ServerTransport.new('battle_cry')
server = Thrift::SimpleServer.new(processor, transport)
server.serve # never returns
On the client:
transport = Thrift::AMQP::Transport.connect('battle_cry')
protocol = Thrift::BinaryProtocol.new(transport)
client = AwesomeService::Client.new(protocol)
client.battleCry('chunky bacon!') # prints 'chunky bacon!' on the server
== SPECIFICATION
To run the specs, just type
rake specs
Integration tests need a AMQP-Server to run on localhost. This has so far only
been tested with RabbitMQ. (http://www.rabbitmq.com/)
rake thrift
rake integration
== REQUIREMENTS
rabbitmq: local server for integration tests
thrift: full installation needed if you want to compile service descriptions
