Here is the setup method I use for QPID 0.30 (I use this in a Spock test but should be portable to Java of Junit with no problems). This supports SSL connection, the HTTP management, and uses only in-memory startup. Startup time is sub-second. Configuration for QPID is awkward compared to using ActiveMQ for the same purpose, but QPID is AMQP compliant and allows for a smooth, neutral testing for AMQP clients (obviously the use of exchanges can not mimic RabbitMQs implementation, but for basic purposes it is sufficient)
First I created a minimal test-config.json which I put in the resources folder:
{
"name": "${broker.name}",
"modelVersion": "2.0",
"defaultVirtualHost" : "default",
"authenticationproviders" : [ {
"name" : "passwordFile",
"type" : "PlainPasswordFile",
"path" : "${qpid.home_dir}${file.separator}etc${file.separator}passwd",
"preferencesproviders" : [{
"name": "fileSystemPreferences",
"type": "FileSystemPreferences",
"path" : "${qpid.work_dir}${file.separator}user.preferences.json"
}]
} ],
"ports" : [ {
"name" : "AMQP",
"port" : "${qpid.amqp_port}",
"authenticationProvider" : "passwordFile",
"keyStore" : "default",
"protocols": ["AMQP_0_10", "AMQP_0_8", "AMQP_0_9", "AMQP_0_9_1" ],
"transports" : [ "SSL" ]
}, {
"name" : "HTTP",
"port" : "${qpid.http_port}",
"authenticationProvider" : "passwordFile",
"protocols" : [ "HTTP" ]
}],
"virtualhostnodes" : [ {
"name" : "default",
"type" : "JSON",
"virtualHostInitialConfiguration" : "{ \"type\" : \"Memory\" }"
} ],
"plugins" : [ {
"type" : "MANAGEMENT-HTTP",
"name" : "httpManagement"
}],
"keystores" : [ {
"name" : "default",
"password" : "password",
"path": "${qpid.home_dir}${file.separator}keystore.jks"
}]
}
I
I also needed to create a keystore.jks file for localhost because the QPID broker and the RabbitMQ client do not like to communicate over an unencrypted channel. I also added a file called "passwd" in "integTest/resources/etc" that has this content:
guest:password
Here is the code from the unit test setup:
class level variables:
def tmpFolder = Files.createTempDir()
Broker broker
def amqpPort = PortFinder.findFreePort()
def httpPort = PortFinder.findFreePort()
def qpidHomeDir = 'src/integTest/resources/'
def configFileName = "/test-config.json"
code for the setup() method:
def setup() {
broker = new Broker();
def brokerOptions = new BrokerOptions()
File file = new File(qpidHomeDir)
String homePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
log.info(' qpid home dir=' + homePath)
log.info(' qpid work dir=' + tmpFolder.absolutePath)
brokerOptions.setConfigProperty('qpid.work_dir', tmpFolder.absolutePath);
brokerOptions.setConfigProperty('qpid.amqp_port',"${amqpPort}")
brokerOptions.setConfigProperty('qpid.http_port', "${httpPort}")
brokerOptions.setConfigProperty('qpid.home_dir', homePath);
brokerOptions.setInitialConfigurationLocation(homePath + configFileName)
broker.startup(brokerOptions)
log.info('broker started')
}
code for cleanup()
broker.shutdown()
To make an AMQP connection from a Rabbit MQ client:
ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
factory.setUri("amqp://guest:password@localhost:${amqpPort}");
factory.useSslProtocol()
log.info('about to make connection')
def connection = factory.newConnection();
//get a channel for sending the "kickoff" message
def channel = connection.createChannel();
