Universal Messaging Support for AMQP
Advanced Message Queueing Protocol (AMQP) 1.0 is a binary networking protocol that standardizes messaging middleware communications as defined by standards body OASIS and ISO/IEC 19464:2014.
The following table describes the AMQP features that Universal Messaging version 10.7 supports:
AMQP Feature
Comments
TCP and TLS transport
Alternative support only, not negotiated TLS
Transactional publishing to topics and queues
Restricted only to local transactions because Universal Messaging does not support distributed transaction coordinators.
New Universal Messaging protocol layer threading module
AMQP performance and stability improvements
Plain and SASL authentication
SASL mechanisms are limited to the ones provided by the underlying JVM.
Non-transactional publishing to topics and queues
Synchronous and asynchronous subscription to topics and queues
Durable subscribers
Not all durable types.
Interoperability with Universal Messaging publishers and subscribers using any of the available client APIs
Requires complete transformation (needs protobuf support).
Temporary topics and queues
Only session lifetime policy.
Connection keep alives
Credit-based flow control
Credit values < 100 cannot be reliably enforced
Interoperability with existing AMQP JMS clients (SwiftMQ, Apache QPID, Apache Legacy QPID)
Event transformation API
Reduces marshalling on pure AMQP deployments, allows custom mapping definitions against the default AMQP message format.
