Declared in KMMessageProducer.h

Overview

A client uses a MessageProducer object to send messages to a destination. A MessageProducer object is created by passing a Destination object to a message-producer creation method supplied by a session.

MessageProducer is the parent interface for all message producers.

A client also has the option of creating a message producer without supplying a destination. In this case, a destination must be provided with every send operation. A typical use for this kind of message producer is to send replies to requests using the request’s JMSReplyTo destination.

A client can specify a default delivery mode, priority, and time to live for messages sent by a message producer. It can also specify the delivery mode, priority, and time to live for an individual message.

A client can specify a time-to-live value in milliseconds for each message it sends. This value defines a message expiration time that is the sum of the message’s time-to-live and the GMT when it is sent (for transacted sends, this is the time the client sends the message, not the time the transaction is committed).

A JMS provider should do its best to expire messages accurately; however, the JMS API does not define the accuracy provided.

Tasks

Instance Methods

close

Closes the message producer.

- (void)close

Discussion

Since a provider may allocate some resources on behalf of a MessageProducer outside the application, clients should close them when they are no longer needed.

Exceptions

KMJMSException

if the JMS provider fails to close the producer due to some internal error.

send:

Sends a message using the MessageProducer’s default delivery mode, priority, and time to live.

- (void)send:(KMMessage *)message

Parameters

message

the message to send

Exceptions

KMJMSException

if the JMS provider fails to send the message due to some internal error.

KMMessageFormatException

if an invalid message is specified.

KMInvalidDestinationException

if a client uses this method with a MessageProducer with an invalid destination.

KMUnsupportedOperationException

if a client uses this method with a MessageProducer that did not specify a destination at creation time.

Declared In

KMMessageProducer.h

send:deliveryMode:priority:timeToLive:

Sends a message to the destination, specifying delivery mode, priority, and time to live.

- (void)send:(KMMessage *)message deliveryMode:(int)deliveryMode priority:(int)priority timeToLive:(long long)timeToLive

Parameters

message

the message to send

deliveryMode

the delivery mode to use

priority

the priority for this message

timeToLive

the message’s lifetime (in milliseconds)

Exceptions

KMJMSException

if the JMS provider fails to send the message due to some internal error.

KMMessageFormatException

if an invalid message is specified.

KMInvalidDestinationException

if a client uses this method with a MessageProducer with an invalid destination.

KMUnsupportedOperationException

if a client uses this method with a MessageProducer that did not specify a destination at creation time.

Declared In

KMMessageProducer.h

send:message:

Sends a message to a destination for an unidentified message producer. Uses the MessageProducer’s default delivery mode, priority, and time to live.

- (void)send:(KMDestination *)destination message:(KMMessage *)message

Parameters

destination

the destination to send this message to

message

the message to send

Discussion

Typically, a message producer is assigned a destination at creation time; however, the JMS API also supports unidentified message producers, which require that the destination be supplied every time a message is sent.

Exceptions

KMJMSException

if the JMS provider fails to send the message due to some internal error.

KMMessageFormatException

if an invalid message is specified.

KMInvalidDestinationException

if a client uses this method with an invalid destination.

KMUnsupportedOperationException

if a client uses this method with a MessageProducer that specified a destination at creation time.

Declared In

KMMessageProducer.h

send:message:deliveryMode:priority:timeToLive:

Sends a message to a destination for an unidentified message producer, specifying delivery mode, priority and time to live.

- (void)send:(KMDestination *)destination message:(KMMessage *)message deliveryMode:(int)deliveryMode priority:(int)priority timeToLive:(long long)timeToLive

Parameters

destination

the destination to send this message to

message

the message to send

deliveryMode

the delivery mode to use

priority

the priority for this message

timeToLive

the message’s lifetime (in milliseconds)

Discussion

Typically, a message producer is assigned a destination at creation time; however, the JMS API also supports unidentified message producers, which require that the destination be supplied every time a message is sent.

Exceptions

KMJMSException

if the JMS provider fails to send the message due to some internal error.

KMMessageFormatException

if an invalid message is specified.

KMInvalidDestinationException

if a client uses this method with an invalid destination.

Declared In

KMMessageProducer.h

setDeliveryMode:

Sets the producer’s default delivery mode.

- (void)setDeliveryMode:(int)deliveryMode

Parameters

deliveryMode

the message delivery mode for this message producer; legal values are DeliveryModeNonPersistent and DeliveryModePersistent

Discussion

Delivery mode is set to PERSISTENT by default.

Exceptions

KMJMSException

if the JMS provider fails to set the delivery mode due to some internal error.

Declared In

KMMessageProducer.h

setDisableMessageID:

Sets whether message IDs are disabled.

- (void)setDisableMessageID:(BOOL)value

Parameters

value

indicates if message IDs are disabled

Discussion

Since message IDs take some effort to create and increase a message’s size, some JMS providers may be able to optimize message overhead if they are given a hint that the message ID is not used by an application. By calling the setDisableMessageID method on this message producer, a JMS client enables this potential optimization for all messages sent by this message producer. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the message ID set to null; if the provider ignores the hint, the message ID must be set to its normal unique value.

Message IDs are enabled by default.

Exceptions

KMJMSException

if the JMS provider fails to set message ID to disabled due to some internal error.

Declared In

KMMessageProducer.h

setDisableMessageTimestamp:

Sets whether message timestamps are disabled.

- (void)setDisableMessageTimestamp:(BOOL)value

Parameters

value

indicates if message timestamps are disabled

Discussion

Since timestamps take some effort to create and increase a message’s size, some JMS providers may be able to optimize message overhead if they are given a hint that the timestamp is not used by an application. By calling the setDisableMessageTimestamp method on this message producer, a JMS client enables this potential optimization for all messages sent by this message producer. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the timestamp set to zero; if the provider ignores the hint, the timestamp must be set to its normal value.

Message timestamps are enabled by default.

Exceptions

KMJMSException

if the JMS provider fails to set timestamps to disabled due to some internal error.

Declared In

KMMessageProducer.h

setPriority:

Sets the producer’s default priority.

- (void)setPriority:(int)defaultPriority

Parameters

defaultPriority

the message priority for this message producer; must be a value between 0 and 9

Discussion

The JMS API defines ten levels of priority value, with 0 as the lowest priority and 9 as the highest. Clients should consider priorities 0-4 as gradations of normal priority and priorities 5-9 as gradations of expedited priority. Priority is set to 4 by default.

Exceptions

KMJMSException

if the JMS provider fails to set the priority due to some internal error.

Discussion

Time to live is set to zero by default.

Exceptions
