CreateReceiverLink Method

Creates a new receiver link with the given name on the specified session.

Syntax

amqp.createReceiverLink(sessionName, name, source, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method creates a new receiver link with the given Name on the session specified by SessionName and adds it to the Link* properties. If a link (sender or receiver) with the given Name already exists, or if no session with the given SessionName exists, an error will be thrown.

Source may be set to specify the address of the node at the remote host which should act as the sender. This may not be necessary in all environments, in which case an empty string will suffice.

Receiver links can operate in one of two receive modes: automatic, where the class will work to ensure that messages are received as soon as they are available; and fetch-based, where the class will only "fetch" a new message when explicitly instructed to.

The ReceiveMode property controls which receive mode newly-created receiver links will use; refer to its documentation for more information.

AMQP 1.0's transport protocol has three layers: an overarching connection between two containers, the sessions opened on that connection, and the links (between the containers' nodes) attached to those sessions.
