Chapter 10. Interoperability This chapter discusses how to use AMQ .NET in combination with other AMQ components. For an overview of the compatibility of AMQ components, see the product introduction . 10.1. Interoperating with other AMQP clients AMQP messages are composed using the AMQP type system . This common format is one of the reasons AMQP clients in different languages are able to interoperate with each other. When sending messages, AMQ .NET automatically converts language-native types to AMQP-encoded data. When receiving messages, the reverse conversion takes place. Note More information about AMQP types is available at the interactive type reference maintained by the Apache Qpid project. Table 10.1. AMQP types AMQP type Description null An empty value boolean A true or false value char A single Unicode character string A sequence of Unicode characters binary A sequence of bytes byte A signed 8-bit integer short A signed 16-bit integer int A signed 32-bit integer long A signed 64-bit integer ubyte An unsigned 8-bit integer ushort An unsigned 16-bit integer uint An unsigned 32-bit integer ulong An unsigned 64-bit integer float A 32-bit floating point number double A 64-bit floating point number array A sequence of values of a single type list A sequence of values of variable type map A mapping from distinct keys to values uuid A universally unique identifier symbol A 7-bit ASCII string from a constrained domain timestamp An absolute point in time Table 10.2.

Interoperating with AMQ JMS AMQP defines a standard mapping to the JMS messaging model. This section discusses the various aspects of that mapping. For more information, see the AMQ JMS Interoperability chapter. JMS message types AMQ .NET provides a single message type whose body type can vary. By contrast, the JMS API uses different message types to represent different kinds of data. The table below indicates how particular body types map to JMS message types. For more explicit control of the resulting JMS message type, you can set the x-opt-jms-msg-type message annotation. See the AMQ JMS Interoperability chapter for more information. Table 10.5. AMQ .NET and JMS message types AMQ .NET body type JMS message type System.String TextMessage null TextMessage System.Byte[] BytesMessage Any other type ObjectMessage 10.3. Connecting to AMQ Broker AMQ Broker is designed to interoperate with AMQP 1.0 clients. Check the following to ensure the broker is configured for AMQP messaging: Port 5672 in the network firewall is open. The AMQ Broker AMQP acceptor is enabled. See Default acceptor settings . The necessary addresses are configured on the broker. See Addresses, Queues, and Topics . The broker is configured to permit access from your client, and the client is configured to send the required credentials. See Broker Security . 10.4. Connecting to AMQ Interconnect AMQ Interconnect works with any AMQP 1.0 client. Check the following to ensure the components are configured correctly: Port 5672 in the network firewall is open. The router is configured to permit access from your client, and the client is configured to send the required credentials. See Securing network connections .
