Dedicated Queue Receivers

Dedicated queues receivers are JMS message consumers attached to a specific session.

Create a dedicated receiver that you can pull from.

PUT /queues/{queue-name}/receivers/{receiver-id}

If you pass an ACCEPT header this will create a JMS selector that filters message for only a specific media type.  So, if you pass an ACCEPT header of 'application/xml' this receiver will only get message of CONTENT-TYPE 'application/xml'

Delete a dedicated receiver

DELETE /queues/{queue-name}/receivers/{receiver-id} 

Get the current message that is in the receiver's buffer.  This does not consume/acknowledge the message

GET /queues/{queue-name}/receivers/{receiver-id}/head?wait=[0-9+]

Acknowledge the current message that is in the receiver buffer.

DELETE /queues/{queue-name}/receivers/{receiver-id}/head

FYI, this is idempotent still!

get and acknowledge from the receiver at the same time

POST /queues/{queue-name}/receivers/{reciever-id}/head

Queue Message listeners

You can register a URI to post to when a message is sent to the queue.  This registers a MessageListener with the queue.  When the message is received, on the server, it send the message to the registered URI.

Create a message listener

PUT /queues/{queue-name}/listeners/{listener-id}

You must send a string that is the URI you want to send the message to.  The content-type can be anything, "text/plain" or whatever.

If you pass an ACCEPT header this will create a JMS selector that filters message for only a specific media type.  So, if you pass an ACCEPT header of 'application/xml' this receiver will only get message of CONTENT-TYPE 'application/xml'

Delete the listener

DELETE /queues/{queue-name}/receivers/{receiver-id}
