Using ActiveMQ with "C" System

[Dinesh Premalal-2]

Hi all,
        I have a system written in C, I want to publish my messages to
ActiveMQ server.  What is the most recommended way?
BTW, I have tried almost all the C options given in the activemq site, but
none of them work for me. (Yes, I know I'm not a very good Java person :( ,
there may be my faults)
       Guys please help me to get this up and running. Thanks in Advance.

thanks,
Dinesh

Depending on your platform and compiler requirements, you could use
ActiveMQ-CPP.  It should be to hard to write a C wrapper around the C++
libraries API so that you can use it from you existing code base.  

Not sure what the state of the other C clients are at the moment.

Regards
Tim.

Did you tried to use stomp C client?

Yes I looked on to it . But it's building page [1] says , it required Mac
and X Code 2 installed.  Does any body using this ?  BTW Is this (libstomp)
code, is stable enough to put in production  environment ?. ( I doubt this
because it isn't released yet).

thanks,
Dinesh

Could you please describe how do you do it? Here or somewhere in your
blog - just for future reference... ;-)

Here [1] the write up that I promised. I wrote another STOMP client that can
be used with Axis2/C. (without using apr) will update about it later.

thanks,
Dinesh

Hi Dinesh,

the client just needs APR installed.
main.c is just an example, stomp.[ch] are the "library"

You can compile it with
gcc -pthread -D_GNU_SOURCE -o example -I /usr/local/apr/include/apr-1/ main.c stomp.c /usr/local/apr/lib/libapr-1.a

It works but unfortunately it suffers problems since ActiveMQ tends to hang when communicating with STOMP clients. It may not be an issue if you don't do frequent connects and disconnects.

Therefore I'm thinking of enhancing the OpenWire-C client (to a point where it works), since I need a small interface and activemq-cpp is 1.5MB if stripped and -O3'ed.

Regards,
Ron
