Interface TopicConnection

All Superinterfaces:
Connection
All Known Subinterfaces:
XATopicConnection
public interface TopicConnection
extends Connection

A TopicConnection object is an active connection to a publish/subscribe JMS provider. A client uses a TopicConnection object to create one or more TopicSession objects for producing and consuming messages.

A TopicConnection can be used to create a TopicSession, from which specialized topic-related objects can be created. A more general, and recommended approach is to use the Connection object.

The TopicConnection object should be used to support existing code.

createTopicSession

public TopicSession createTopicSession(boolean transacted,
                                       int acknowledgeMode)
                                throws JMSException
Creates a TopicSession object.

Parameters:
transacted - indicates whether the session is transacted
acknowledgeMode - indicates whether the consumer or the client will acknowledge any messages it receives; ignored if the session is transacted. Legal values are Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE, Session.CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE, and Session.DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE.
Returns:
a newly created topic session
Throws:
JMSException - if the TopicConnection object fails to create a session due to some internal error or lack of support for the specific transaction and acknowledgement mode.

createConnectionConsumer

public ConnectionConsumer createConnectionConsumer(Topic topic,
                                                   String messageSelector,
                                                   ServerSessionPool sessionPool,
                                                   int maxMessages)
                                            throws JMSException
Creates a connection consumer for this connection (optional operation). This is an expert facility not used by regular JMS clients.

Parameters:
topic - the topic to access
messageSelector - only messages with properties matching the message selector expression are delivered. A value of null or an empty string indicates that there is no message selector for the message consumer.
sessionPool - the server session pool to associate with this connection consumer
maxMessages - the maximum number of messages that can be assigned to a server session at one time
Returns:
the connection consumer
Throws:
JMSException - if the TopicConnection object fails to create a connection consumer due to some internal error or invalid arguments for sessionPool and messageSelector.
InvalidDestinationException - if an invalid topic is specified.
InvalidSelectorException - if the message selector is invalid.

createDurableConnectionConsumer

public ConnectionConsumer createDurableConnectionConsumer(Topic topic,
                                                          String subscriptionName,
                                                          String messageSelector,
                                                          ServerSessionPool sessionPool,
                                                          int maxMessages)
