[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ STOMP Adapter - How to get the RPC reply messages?

[Tiago Alves]

Thank you for the help, Emile.

Our server-side client is an AMQP client in node.js (node-amqp) that
connects directly to RabbitMQ. That's why I've mentioned that we have a
"replyTo" queue and not a "reply-to" in that client. (We do send the
message with a "reply-to" header in the STOMP client)

We've made progress and are now able to send back the reply from our
server-side client. We figured out that a reply queue such as
"/reply-queue/amq.gen-w2jykNGp4DNDBADm3C4Cdx" simply corresponds to the
RabbitMQ queue "amq.gen-w2jykNGp4DNDBADm3C4Cdx" in the default exchange.
Thus, we're now removing the "/reply-queue/" part of the replyTo header,
and using the result as the destination queue for the response. We're
assuming that this should/could be done transparently by an AMQP client
with the notion that RPC messages from STOMP clients will need this replyTo
string manipulation. Is this correct?

Thank you,
