Qpid Broker-J supports message conversion from one protocol into another. For example, when message is published with AMQP 0-9-1 and consumed using AMQP 1.0, the Broker takes care about converting the message from AMQP 0-9-1 format into AMQP 1.0. This page provides a summary of how conversion from one protocol into another works.

Type conversion matrices

Various types can be used to set values of message properties and values in Map, List messages, etc. The matrices below show how the types are converted. The red colour is used to highlight the types where conversion is unsupported yet. The orange/yellow colours are used to highlight the types for which conversion is implemented but the target type does not correspond to the original one even when protocol supports such type. The green colour is used to highlight the types where conversion is implemented into correct corresponding type on another protocol.

X - indicates the corresponding type to convert

? - indicates the type which is currently used to convert but the type differs from the original type

*  the type of keys in AMQP 0-10 map is utf8 encoded str8 whilst earlier protocols's FiledTable key type is short-string which allows only ASCII characters. Thus, conversion of UTF characters into ASCII characters would change the keys.

** UUID type is unsupported by AMQP 0-8/0-9.x. It is converted to a long string

*** there is no corresponding type in AMQP 0-8..0-9.x. Thus, the most appropriate type for conversion UTF32 char is long-string.

**** byte[] can be used as a Map message value. JMS does not allow using in values for message properties

***** Qpid Client JMS extensions like ListMessage and MapMesssage allows specifying instances of java.util.Collection in parts of the messages. As result, the corresponding collections are encoded as AMQP 0-10 maps and lists.

****** Instances of java.util.UUID and java.lang.Character can be specified as part of  ListMessage. They are encoded into AMQP 0-10 types "uuid" and "char"  (one byte) accordingly.

****** Values of type java.lang.Character are allowed to be set in Message#setObjectProperty(String,Object). They are encoded using type AMQP 0-10 type "char" (one byte).

**** byte[] can be used as a Map message value. JMS does not allow using in values for message properties

***** Qpid Client JMS extensions like ListMessage and MapMesssage allows specifying instances of java.util.Collection in parts of the messages. As result, the corresponding collections are encoded as AMQP 0-10 maps and lists.

****** Instances of java.util.UUID and java.lang.Character can be specified as part of  ListMessage. They are encoded into AMQP 0-10 types "uui" and "char"  (one byte) accordingly.

****** Values of type java.lang.Character are allowed to be set in Message#setObjectProperty(String,Object). They are encoded using type AMQP 0-10 type "char" (one byte).

*** - UUID type is unsupported by AMQP 0-8/0-9.x. An exception is thrown on attempt to convert. Should it be converted into short string?

**** - char in 1-0 is a UTF-32BE encoded unicode character but char in 0-10 is an octet. Should it be converted into string?

Address Conversion

This applies to conversion of an address modeled as a simple string (e.g., 'to' and 'reply-to' in AMQP 1.0) to a more structured format like 0-10 (exchange, routingKey) or 0-9 (BURL).

We follow this algorithm:

  1. if the address starts with a global domain prefix matching the virtual host's it is stripped before the following steps
  2. if it contains "/" split on first "/" and if first part refers to existing exchange consider it the exchange and the second part as the routingKey
  3. if it does not contain "/" and it refers to an existing exchange consider it the exchange and the routingKey as the empty string
  4. else consider the address as the routingKey the exchange to the empty string. 

Content conversion

Conversion of message content from AMQP 0-8...0-9-1 into AMQP 0-10 and back is simply a matter of copying the content bytes.

Conversion of message content from AMQP 0-8...0-10 into AMQP 1-0 is based on mime-type of the message (which is set as message property 'content-type'). Depending from mime-type the message content is converted into amqp:amqp-value or amqp:data formats.

Conversion of message content from AMQP 1-0 to AQMQP 0-x is based on the AMQP type used in AMQP 1-0 message

Conversion issues

This section summarises existing conversion issues

Issue description

Protocols

Missing Type conversion (decimal, uuid (0-10 --> 0-8...0-9-1))

All

Inaccurate Type conversion (unsigned types are converted into types (all), timestamps are converted into long (all), utf chars are converted into ascii chars, binary types are converted into signed (0-10))

All

Unsupported property key or value (uuid is unsupported in 0-8...0-9-1, decimal is unsupported in 0-10, etc)

All

Missing conversion of message propertiesAll
0-10 requires uuid type for message-id. As result, a conversion of non-0-10 message-id  which is not UUID can not be done. This should not prevent the conversion of entire message.non-0-10 --> 0-10

Conversion of application properties from AMQP 1-0 into AMQP 0-x headers (0-8...0-9-1 FieldTable and 0-10 map) when application properties length exceeds 255 character ( or contains non-ascii characters or start with illegal characters)

1-0 --> 0-x

Conversion of AMQP 0.x headers (represented as 0-8...0-9-1 FieldTable or 0-10 map) into AMQP 1-0  application properties when headers values are not primitives (for example, maps, collections, etc)

0-x --> 1-0

Conversion of Map content from AMQP 1-0 into AMQP 0-x Map Message when keys are not strings1-0 --> 0-x
JMS message type is changed when converted from AMQP 0.x into AMQP 1.0 (jms-type annotation is not set)0-x --> 1-0
JMS message type is changed when converted from AMQP 1-0 into AMQP 0.x (jms-type annotation is not respected)1-0 --> 0-x

Handling of conversion errors

The converter modules should employ the following strategies when message cannot be converted into target protocol format (for example, due to unsupported types, values, etc)

  • log conversion failure and close connection with appropriate error
  • log conversion failure and move message into DLQ or delete the message if no DLQ is configured
  • log conversion failure and skip the message (similar as if the client rejected the message)

The approaches above can be configured on broker or virtual host using context variables.
Closing the connections should be a default behaviour.
