CreateSession Method

Creates a new session with the given name.

Syntax

amqp.createSession(name, [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 session with the given Name and adds it to the Session* properties. If a session with the given Name already exists, an error will be thrown.

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.
