[rabbitmq-discuss] Getting the routing key from connection (web stomp)

[Jason McIntosh]

A few other thoughts on your topology.  Take a strong look at the routing
keys and exchanges and queues.  Rabbit's really designed to be a
"asynchronous" messaging platform.  I'm not sure though I understand what
you mean by clients as well.  Is the system doing the request to the stomp
API your client?  And it's also the client that wants to consume from the
queue in an RPC kinda mechanism?  What you could do in this case, would be
startup a consumer in your process with a generated random value (e.g.
machine name and datetime), the WEB STOMP publishes to a direct exchange
with a message that includes a header "Return data to queue <randomvalue>".
 Your server side processing receives that message, processes it, reads
that header and publishes a message to that queue.  Then your consumer
"thread" after your publisher is ready can just deliver the resulting
message, and auto-delete the queue.  Just one possibility.
