[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitutil.js - rabbitmqctl sibling in JavaScript w/ RabbitMQ Java & Mozi

Sat Sep 4 02:11:09 BST 2010

Hi, Alexis,

I have been using the script at work to white-box test Python click  
processing servers (over @ my gracious employer Adknowledge). We use  
RabbitMQ to separate & stage events between the incoming  
(request/response), staging (persistence/replay), & handling  
(validation/processing/storage) steps of various event handling processes.

I have used JavaScript to do useful things with jars in telecom before (CTI  
& IVR)... And it suits itself quite well to application OLTP systems it  
seems... But in my haste & pride to post the script I left a few functions  
dangling, so here it is again for those interested:

http://github.com/derekm/rabbitutil

I slipped in the new RabbitMQ Java jars only to find they're 0-9-1-only. It  
would be nice if the new libs were dual-mode, since 2.0 upgrades will be  
phased in slowly by most organizations using these technologies.

I've expected similar queueing & messaging behaviors from systems like  
Alcatel/Lucent's Genesys platform and barely received it... Having only  
recently been introduced to these technologies, I have to say I like  
RabbitMQ & Qpid over that other stuff any day! I'm not sure yet if AMQP is  
the wire protocol to solve all wire protocols, but it's a step on the way  
there. (I used to prefer the wire protocol: "<<" followed by two characters  
of choice "CC" followed by 4-byte encoded 64-bit length of string followed  
by preferred interchange format. But with RabbitMQ I hope I never write  
another wire protocol again.)

I use my rabbitutil script's inject_msg, inject_msgs, & remove_msg daily,  
but I did setup my environment using its other commands. I like Rabbit's  
Java API over other ampq libs of various languages. The ease of working  
with it is illustrated by this script, I think. I haven't thought of much  
else to add to this basic set of commands, except to improve the commands  
themselves (arguments & options, etc.). But if people have ideas I'd be  
happy to work with them.

I'd do what I can help see functionality like this distributed with some  
component of RabbitMQ. rabbitmqctl is very useful. Would this kind of  
functionality have to be integrated into that command to ship?

Thanks!

Derek
