Remarks

The STOMP class provides an easy-to-use STOMP client implementation that supports STOMP versions 1.1 and 1.2. The class supports both plaintext and TLS-enabled connections over TCP.

Connecting

Connecting to a STOMP server is easy; in the simplest case just call the Connect method, passing the server's hostname and port number.

When connecting to a STOMP server, the class sends information from the following properties, if populated:

In addition to the above properties, the following configuration settings can be set before connecting (though in most cases this is not necessary):

  • SupportedVersions: Controls which STOMP versions the class advertises support for.
  • VirtualHost: Controls the virtual host to connect to. If left empty (default), the value from RemoteHost is used.

Subscriptions & Receiving Messages

The Subscribe and Unsubscribe methods are used to subscribe to and unsubscribe from message destinations on the server.

When Subscribe is called, it will return a subscription Id. To unsubscribe, pass this subscription Id to the Unsubscribe method.

After subscribing to a message destination, any messages received will cause the MessageIn event to fire.

Basic Subscriptions Example

stomp1.OnMessageIn += (s, e) => {
  Console.WriteLine("Received message from destination '" + e.Destination + "':");
  Console.WriteLine(e.Data);
};

string subId = stomp1.Subscribe("test/a/b", false);
// Some time later...
stomp1.Unsubscribe(subId);

Refer to Subscribe, Unsubscribe, and MessageIn for more information about subscriptions and receiving messages.

Sending Messages

To send messages, use the SendMessage and SendData methods. SendMessage is used to send messages with string payloads, while SendData is used to send messages with binary payloads.

Send String Message Example

stomp1.SendMessage("test/a/b", "Hello, world!");

Send Binary Message Example

byte[] fileContent = File.ReadAllBytes("C:\test\stuff.dat");
stomp1.SendData("test/a/b", fileContent);

Refer to SendMessage and SendData for more information about sending messages.

Using Transactions

STOMP transactions are used to group messages together for processing on the server. Messages sent as part of a transaction will not be delivered by the server until the transaction is committed. If the transaction is aborted, the server will discard the messages without attempting to deliver them.

Basic Transaction Example

// Open a new transaction.
stomp1.BeginTransaction("txn1");
// Set the Transaction property to make sure that messages are sent as part of the transaction.
stomp1.Transaction = "txn1";

stomp1.SendMessage("test/a/b", "Hello, world!");
stomp1.SendMessage("test/a/b", "This is a test.");
stomp1.SendMessage("test/a/b", "Another test!");

// At this point, none of the messages sent above would have been delivered to any clients
// subscribed to the "test/a/b" destination yet, because the transaction is still open.

// If we close and commit the transaction, the server will then deliver the messages to subscribers,
// queue them, or process them in another manner; the behavior is server-dependent.
stomp1.CommitTransaction("txn1");

// Or, the transaction can be aborted, in which case the server will discard the messages
// without delivering them to the subscribers.
//stomp1.AbortTransaction("txn1");

// Reset (or change) the Transaction property after committing or aborting a transaction
// so that future messages are not associated with the previous transaction.
stomp1.Transaction = "";

Refer to BeginTransaction for more information about using transactions.
