Example of standalone Apache Qpid (amqp) Junit Test

Question

Does anyone have an example of using Apache Qpid within a standalone junit test.

Ideally I want to be able to create a queue on the fly which I can

Answer 1

My solution on qpid-broker @ 6.1.1, add below to pom.xml

    org.apache.qpid
    qpid-broker
    6.1.1
    test

qpid config file as:

{
  "name" : "${broker.name}",
  "modelVersion" : "6.1",
  "defaultVirtualHost" : "default",
  "authenticationproviders" : [ {
    "name" : "anonymous",
    "type" : "Anonymous"
  } ],
  "ports" : [ {
    "name" : "AMQP",
    "port" : "${qpid.amqp_port}",
    "authenticationProvider" : "anonymous",
    "virtualhostaliases" : [ {
      "name" : "defaultAlias",
      "type" : "defaultAlias"
    } ]
  } ],
  "virtualhostnodes" : [ {
    "name" : "default",
    "type" : "JSON",
    "defaultVirtualHostNode" : "true",
    "virtualHostInitialConfiguration" : "{ \"type\" : \"Memory\" }"
  } ]
}

code to start the qpid server

Broker broker = new Broker();
BrokerOptions brokerOptions = new BrokerOptions();
// I use fix port number
brokerOptions.setConfigProperty("qpid.amqp_port", "20179");
brokerOptions.setConfigurationStoreType("Memory");
// work_dir for qpid's log, configs, persist data
System.setProperty("qpid.work_dir", "/tmp/qpidworktmp");
// init config of qpid. Relative path for classloader resource or absolute path for non-resource
System.setProperty("qpid.initialConfigurationLocation", "qpid/qpid-config.json");
brokerOptions.setStartupLoggedToSystemOut(false);
broker.startup(brokerOptions);

code to stop qpid server

broker.shutdown();

Since I use anonymouse mode, client should do like:

SaslConfig saslConfig = new SaslConfig() {
    public SaslMechanism getSaslMechanism(String[] mechanisms) {
        return new SaslMechanism() {
            public String getName() {
                return "ANONYMOUS";
            }

            public LongString handleChallenge(LongString challenge, String username, String password) {
                return LongStringHelper.asLongString("");
            }
        };
    }
};
ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
factory.setHost("localhost");
factory.setPort(20179);
factory.setSaslConfig(saslConfig);

Connection connection = factory.newConnection();
Channel channel = connection.createChannel();

That's all. A little more on how to do it on other version.

You can download qpid-broker binary package from official site. After download and unzip, you can run it to test as server against your case. After your case connected server well, using commandline to generate or just copy the initial config file in QPID_WORK, remove useless id filed and use it for embedded server like above.

The most complicated thing is the authentication. You can choose PLAIN mode but you have to add the username and password in initial config. I choose anonymous mode which need a little code when connecting. For other authentication mode you have specify the password file or key/cert store, which I didnt try.

If it still not working, you can read the qpid-borker doc and Main class code in qpid-broker artifact which show how command line works for each settings.
