Does Spring AMQP really support QPID ?

[nicolasduminil]

Greetings,

Reading the Sprinq AMQP documentation I've seen that it would support Apache QPID. However, I downloaded spring-amqp-1.0.0.RC1 and I didn't find any QPID implementation. Is QPID really supported and, if yes, where could one download it ?

Kind regards,

Currently we only support the Rabbit client underneath Spring AMQP. However, that is somewhat of an implementation detail given that the Rabbit client itself should work with any AMQP broker. Do you have a specific reason that you want to be able to switch to the Qpid client?

Thank you for your reply.

Our company is using RedHat MRG (Messaging Realtime Grid) which, on the messaging side, uses Apache QPID. Instead of using QPID APIs or JMS, we intend to use Spring AMQP in messaging applications. Are you saying that the RabbitMQ implementation could be used to develop messaging application to communicate with QPID C++/Java brokers ?

Kind regards,

Okay, I've got my answer. Trying to run org.springframework.amqp.helloworld.BrokerConfigur ationApplication against my message broker (RedHat MRG 1.3 equivalent with QPID 0.10), I've got the exception:

AMQP protocol version mismatch; we are in version 0.9.1, server sent signature 1,1,0,10.

So should I conclude you don't support QPID ?

Kind regards,

The current Rabbit client only supports up to AMQP 0.9.1.
