NAME

AnyEvent::STOMP - A lightweight event-driven STOMP client

SYNOPSIS

use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::STOMP;

my $client = AnyEvent::STOMP->connect($host, $port, $ssl, $destination, $ack,
                                      { connect_headers }, 
                                      { subscribe_headers });

$client->send($command, $headers, $body);

# Register interest in new messages
$client->reg_cb(MESSAGE => sub {
    my (undef, $body, $headers) = @_;
    # Do something with the frame
});

# Register interest in any frame received.  Use with caution.
$client->reg_cb(frame => sub {
    my (undef, $type, $body, $headers) = @_;
    # Do something with the frame
});

# Start the event loop
AnyEvent->condvar->recv;

DESCRIPTION

AnyEvent::STOMP is a lightweight event-driven STOMP client. It's intended to be run in the context of an event loop driven by AnyEvent.

Making a connection

my $client = AnyEvent::STOMP->connect($host, $port, $ssl, $destination, $ack,
                                      { connect_headers }, 
                                      { subscribe_headers });

Only the first parameter (the hostname) is required. The remaining optional arguments are:

port

The port number to connect to. If not specified, defaults to 61612 (if SSL/TLS is used) or 61613 (if not).

ssl

If set to a true value, use SSL/TLS to connect.

destination

If defined, subscribe to the specified destination (queue) upon connection.

ack

If set to a true value, automatically acknowledge all frames received.

connect_headers

An anonymous hash of headers (key/value pairs) to send in the STOMP CONNECT frame.

subscribe_headers

An anonymous hash of headers (key/value pairs) to send in the STOMP SUBSCRIBE frame.

Sending a message

To send a message, just call send() with the body, the destination (queue) name, and (optionally) any additional headers:

$client->send($body, $destination, $headers); # headers may be undef

Sending STOMP frames

You can also send arbitrary STOMP frames:

$client->send_frame($command, $body, $headers); # headers may be undef

See the STOMP protocol documentation for more details on valid commands and headers.

Events

Once you've connected, you can register interest in events, most commonly the receipt of new messages (assuming you've connected as a subscriber).

The typical use is:

$client->reg_cb($type => cb->($client, $body, $headers));

In most cases, $type is MESSAGE, but you can also register interest in any other type of frame (RECEIPT, ERROR, etc.). (If you register interest in CONNECTED frames, please do so with a priority of after; see Object::Event for more details.)

The client object (which can usually be ignored), body and headers (as an anonymous hash of key-value pairs) will be passed to your callback.

Other events you can register interest in are:

frame => cb->($client, $type, $body, $headers)

Will be fired whenever any frame is received.

connect_error => cb->($client, $errmsg)

Will be fired if the attempt to connect to the STOMP server fails (see on_connect_error in AnyEvent::Handle for more details).

io_error => cb->($client, $errmsg)

Will be fired if an I/O error occurs (see on_error in AnyEvent::Handle for more details).

Acknowledging frames

You can acknowledge a frame received via the ack() method:

$client->ack($id, $transaction);

The transaction is optional.
