[rabbitmq-discuss] Configuring beyond rabbitmq server on localhost

[McMahon, James S (TASC)]

Francesco, I have set RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT to 8009. Typically when I have been testing using localhost and 5672, I would start rabbitmq using the command

rabbitmq-server -detached

Should I not do that if I have a particular port I wish to listen on?

    I ask because I am getting an exception in my main of EmitLogDirect and ReceiveLogsDirect when I try to send and/or listen to that particular port. Here is my EmitLogDirect code:

package com.tasc.prism.queue;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.Marshaller;

import com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory;
import com.rabbitmq.client.Connection;
import com.rabbitmq.client.Channel;
import com.rabbitmq.client.AMQP;


public class EmitLogDirect {

  private static final String EXCHANGE_NAME = "BRASS_PRISM";

  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {

          String hostName = "localhost";
          int portNumber = 5672;

          if (argv.length < 2 || argv.length == 3 || argv.length > 4){
                  System.err.println("Usage: EmitLogDirect [BRASS Prism unique session ID] [\"your message\"] [rMQ host, optional] [rMQ port #, optional]");
                  System.exit(1);
          }
          else if (argv.length == 2) {
                  hostName = "localhost";
                  portNumber = 5672; // default port that rabbitMQ listens to
          }
          else if  (argv.length == 4) {
                  hostName = argv[2];
                  portNumber = Integer.parseInt(argv[3]);
          }


          ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
          factory.setHost(hostName);
          factory.setPort(portNumber);
          Connection connection = factory.newConnection();
          Channel channel = connection.createChannel();

          //channel.exchangeDeclare(EXCHANGE_NAME, "direct");

          String exchange = getExchange(argv);
          String message = getMessage(argv);

          channel.basicPublish(EXCHANGE_NAME, exchange, null, message.getBytes());
          System.out.println(" [x] Sent '" + exchange + "':'" + message + "'");

          channel.close();
          connection.close();
  }

  private static String getExchange(String[] strings){
    if (strings.length < 1)
     return "info";
    return strings[0];
  }

  private static String getMessage(String[] strings){
    if (strings.length < 2)
     return "Hello World!";
    //return joinStrings(strings, " ", 1);
    return strings[1];
  }
}

My rabbitmq hostname is rabbit at PEWTER.

How should I start my rabbitmq-server to be running on port 8009? And what hostname and port should I pass to my EmitLogDirect java class?

Jim

To communicate with a remote rabbit server you need, as you guessed, to specify
the remote host and port when establishing a connection to the broker.  In the
case of the Java client you can do that with the relevant `ConnectionFactory'
methods.

Rabbit will bind on all interfaces by default, so the broker will be accessible
remotely.

There are various way to cluster/federate rabbit brokers, see
http://www.rabbitmq.com/distributed.html for a comparison between the various
approaches.
