Connection Failover

[ajames]

In the recent video posted on springsource.org, Video: Messaging for Modern Applications, Tom McCuch demonstrates a high availability setup where a spring-amqp consumer performs a failover of its connection to an alternate rabbitmq server in a cluster.

The connection factory configuration he used was:

<rabbit:connection-factory id="rabbitConnectionFactory" addresses="172.16.227.150,172.16.227.151"/>

I got all excited about the prospect of automatic failover support in my application and immediately started to investigate. However, it doesn't appear to be a valid function of the current GA release , the namespace schema rejects the "addresses" property.

When is this feature likely to be available to all? Is there a build snapshot I can use to test the functionality?

It is currently work-in-process; not yet in a snapshot, but you are welcome (and encouraged!) to clone my repo and give it a spin...

git clone https://github.com/garyrussell/spring-amqp

git checkout AMQP-206b

mvn clean install

will install a snapshot into your local maven repo.

If you want a PDF of the updated documentation, including the HA config...

mvn docbkx:generate-pdf

Any feedback is extremely welcome.

You can also watch the JIRA - https://jira.springsource.org/browse/AMQP-206

Planning to release a 1.0.1 build soon.

Thanks

Excellent, thanks for the response.

I will take a look at your repo now.
