Saga messaging implementation with RabbitMQ - java

I'm new to RabbitMQ and want to implement asynchronous messaging of SAGA with RabbitMQ.So I used RPC example of RabbitMQ to do the task. I've one orchestrator ( RPCClient) and multiple microservices ( RPCServer). Orchestrator uses unique queues to command microservices.And each microservice uses a common queue ( Reply_ Queue) to reply orchestrator. To keep log I want to get notifications in orchestrator side, when any microservice is down for any configurable time.
I read about consumer cancellation,but it only works when I delete the queue.How to get notifications in JAVA with keeping queue messages? And is it correct way to implement saga asynchronous messaging?

To implement a reliable RPC is hard, I can't give a detail guide about how to do this. If we ignore same special failure situation, I can give a simple workaround:
First, we assume that RPCClient never fail, RPCServer may fail anytime.
RPCClient need to know which request is timeout, so it can send request message with a TTL. After RPCServer receive request message and send response message, it should ACK the request message.
If RPCServer:
has failed before consume request message
OR
has failed before send response message
The request message will be republish to Dead Letter Exchange, so RPCClient can consume to some queue binded with that exchange, it can know which request is timeout.

Can gRPC bidi streaming server send a message to a client that it is not currently responding to?

Can gRPC bidi streaming server respond out of sequence to a client ? All examples on the net show server responding to an incoming request only. The StreamObserver interface contains implementation for the response responding to a request
In onNext method, can the StreamObserver parameter be cached and reused later to send messages ?
What I need :
I have cached the StreamObserver on the first request for Client1
On a request from Client2, I need to send a message to Client1
Using the cached StreamObserver object throws a CANCELLED error and I notice onComplete is called for the first request from Client1
Is there a way to do this ?
This seems to be a similar ask, but was not supported 2015, and am not sure if this now possible
Once the server receives the StreamObserver for responses to the client it can call the object from any thread at any time (although the object is not thread-safe, so concurrent calls are not permitted). There's no need to couple it with incoming requests in onNext().
The client calling onComplete() is normal and does not end the RPC. If your code turns around and calls onComplete(), however, at that point you can no longer send any more messages on the stream. You will probably want to observe client cancellations, which can be achieved by casting the StreamObserver to ServerCallStreamObserver and calling setOnCancelHandler(Runnable) at the start of the RPC.

Paho-Mqtt Publish from callback messageArrived()

I have an application using MQTT implemented with the paho-mqtt-1.0.2 and I am using ActiveMQ as the broker. I have a class implementing the MqttCallback, what I am wondering is why does the client hang
#Override
messageArrived(...)
do work
mqtt.publish(TOPIC,PAYLOAD,2,false) <- here
I want to send a "response" message to the broker for the next step of the work to be done. Similar to this, I read in the docs for that callback function
It is possible to send a new message within an implementation of this callback (for example, a response to this message), but the implementation must not disconnect the client, as it will be impossible to send an acknowledgment for the message being processed, and a deadlock will occur.
Has anyone out there tried doing the above and get it to work?
I also tried using the MqttAsyncClient and that ended up with
"Error too many publishes in progress" leading to undelivered messages.
I know how to get around this issue, I'm not looking for workaround; I'm looking for receiving and publishing on the thread where messageArrived() gets executed.
Happy Hunting!

JMS Listener & Sender - Spring Framework

I want to understand a java program and need to modify which was developed using jms spring framework. Typically it has JMS receiver & sender, it receives a message from request queue and will invoke a job (another java program) once the job is completed the sender will send response to response queue. Have couple of questions which are below,
The request message is not deleted until response posted into response queue successfully. How its been achieved what is the logic behind it.
I want to write a functionality of writing response into flat file when sender fails to send message (by catching JMS exception). Once the sender queue is up and running i will read flat file and will send responses. The reason i need is because its involved in job processing could be in hours if job failed then input message will be read again by receiver. I want to avoid duplicate processing. Please suggest your ideas here.
Without seeing the configuration it's hard to answer these questions, but best guess is that #1 is because the app is using a transactional session. This means all updates on that session are not completed until the transaction is committed.
Just catch the exception and write the data; as long as the transaction commits (because you caught the exception) the input message will be removed.

Handling received messages directly in the Client (using nio trough the netty-framework)

I have made an client - server example using netty.
I have defined handlers for the server and the client.
Basically I connect with the client to the server and send some messages.
Every received message gets send back (with the content of the message being converted to upper case).
All the work on the received messages, on server and client-side, is done by the defined handlers.
But I would like to use, or better receive/accept, some of the messages directly in the client
not (just) in the handler. So my question is is it possible to have some listener to receive messages directly in the client-program and not in its handlers. The thin is I would like to access the received messages within the (executable) program (basically the class with a main method) that created a new client object, using something like a timer which (or a loop) which would periodically check for new messages.
I would appreciate if someone could help me with this issue. Or at least tell me if its even possible with netty .
You're looking to translate netty's event-based model into a polling model. A simple way to do that is to create a message queue:
//import java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue;
//import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue;
BlockingQueue queue = new LinkedBlockingQueue();
You need to make the queue available to your handler as a constructor argument, and when a message arrives you put it into the queue:
// Your netty handler:
queue.put(message);
On the client end, you can poll the queue for messages:
// The polling loop in your program:
message = queue.poll(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
The BlockingQueue offers you the choice between waiting for a message to arrive (take()), waiting a certain amount of time for a message to arrive (poll(long, TimeUnit)), or merely checking whether any message is available right now (poll()).
From a design perspective, this approach kills the non-blocking IO advantage netty is supposed to give you. You could have used a normal Socket connection for the same net result.

Architecture advice about managing UDP calls

I would like to have an advice for this issue:
I am using Jbos 5.1.0, EJB3.0
I have system, which sending requests via UDP'S to remote modems, and suppose to wait for an answer from the target modem.
the remote modems support only UDP calls, therefor I o design asynchronous mechanism. (also coz I want to request X modems parallel)
this is what I try to do:
all calls are retrieved from Data Base, then each call will be added as a message to JMS QUE.
let's say i will set X MDB'S on that que, so I can work asynchronous. now each MDB will send UDP request to the IP-address(remote modem) which will be parsed from the que message.
so basicly each MDB, which takes a message is sending a udp request to the remote modem and [b]waiting [/b]for an answer from that modem.
[u]now here is the BUG:[/u]
could happen a scenario where MDB will get an answer, but not from the right modem( which it requested in first place).
that bad scenario cause two wrong things:
a. the sender which sent the message will wait forever since the message never returned to him(it got accepted by another MDB).
b. the MDB which received the message is not the right one, and probablly if it was on a "listener" mode, then it supposed to wait for an answer from diffrent sender.(else it wouldnt get any messages)
so ofcourse I can handle everything with a RETRY mechanisem. so both mdb's(the one who got message from the wrong sender, and the one who never got the answer) will try again, to do thire operation with a hope that next time it will success.
This is the mechanism, mybe you could tell me if there is any design pattren, or any other effective solution for this problem?
Thanks,
ray.
It's tough to define an exacting solution without knowing the details, but I will assume that when a response is received from a modem (either the correct one or not), it is possible to determine which exact modem the request came from.
If this is the case, I would separate out the request handler from the response handler:
RequestMDB receives a message from the [existing] queue, dispatches the request and returns.
A new component (call it the ResponseHandler) handles all incoming responses from the modems. The response sender is identified (a modem ID ?) and packages the response into a JMS message which is sent to a JMS Response Queue.
A new MDB (ResponseMDB) listens on the JMS Response Queue and processes the response for which the modem ID is now known.
In short, by separating concerns, you remove the need for the response processing MDB to only be able to process responses from a specific modem and can now process any response that is queued by the ResponseHandler.
The ResponseHandler (listening for responses from the modems) would need to be a multithreaded service. You could implement this as a JBoss ServiceMBean with some sort of ThreadPool support. It will need a reference to the JMS QueueConnectionFactory and the JMS response queue.
In order to handle request timeouts, I propose you create a scheduled task, one for each modem, named after the modem ID. When a request is sent, the task is scheduled for execution after a delay of the timeout period. When a response is received by the ResponseHandler, the ResponseHandler queues the response and then cancels the named task. If the timeout period elapsed without a cancellation, the scheduled task executes and queues another request (an reschedules the timeout task).
Easier said than done, I suppose, but I hope this helps.
