The JMS 2.0 specification adds support for shared subscriptions. QPIDJMS-220 outlines how the Qpid JMS client maps the JMS semantics to AMQP terms. This document outlines how the broker responds to those AMQP performatives.

Link Attach

Assumptions:

 

Not Null Source

SHARED

GLOBAL

TERMINUS DURABILITY

outcome

YES

NO

NO

NO

Create a non-durable queue with random name and exclusivity policy “link”. Bind queue to exchange “exchange” using binding key “binding”. Broker replies with attach having capability “topic” on a source and attach offered capability “SHARED_SUB”.

YES

NO

NO

YES

Create a durable queue with name derived from link name, container id and source durability. Exclusivity policy is set to “link”. Bind queue to exchange. Broker replies with attach having capability “topic” on a source and attach offered capability “SHARED_SUB”.

If queue already exists the link should be refused with error “resource locked”

YES

NO

YES

NO

The same as for SHARED=NO, GLOBAL=NO and DURABLE=NO

YES

NO

YES

YES

Create a durable queue with name derived from link name, global name space and source durability. Exclusivity policy is set to “link”. Bind queue to exchange. Broker replies with attach having capabilities “topic” and “global” on a source and attach offered capability “SHARED_SUB”.

If queue already exists the link should be refused with error “resource locked”

YES

YES

NO

NO

Create a non-durable queue with name derived from link name (up to “|”), container id and source durability. Exclusivity policy is set to “shared”. Bind queue to exchange. Broker replies with attach having capabilities “topic” and “shared” on a source and attach offered capability “SHARED_SUB”.

If queue already exists and filters and/or binding key are not the same as derived from attach source, then:

    • if there is/are existing consumer(s), refuse the link with error “resource locked”

    • if there is no consumer, rebind queue using new filters and/or binding key

If existing queue exclusivity policy is not “shared”, then link creation is refused with error “resource locked”.

If existing queue lifetime and/or durability are different from expected, then link creation is allowed but the source fields in the reply should be modified accordingly.

YES

YES

NO

YES

Create a durable queue with name derived from link name (up to “|”), container id and source durability. Exclusivity policy is set to “shared”. Bind queue to exchange. Broker replies with attach having capabilities “topic” and “shared” on a source and attach offered capability “SHARED_SUB”.

See above, if queue exists

YES

YES

YES

NO

Create a non-durable queue with name derived from link name (up to “|”), global namespace and source durability. Exclusivity policy is set to “shared”. Bind queue to exchange. Broker replies with attach having capabilities “topic”, “shared” and “global” on a source and attach offered capability “SHARED_SUB”.

See above, if queue exists

YES

YES

YES

YES

Create a durable queue with name derived from link name (up to “|”), global name space and source durability. Exclusivity policy is set to “shared”. Bind queue to exchange. Broker replies with attach having capabilities “topic”, “shared” and “global” on a source and attach offered capability “SHARED_SUB”.

See above, if queue exists

NO

NO

NO

N/A

Look for queue with name derived from link name, container id and “true” durability.

If queue exists and there is no consumer, Attach the link with the Source set.

If queue does not exist, refuse the link with error “not found”.

NO

NO

YES

N/A

Look for queue with name derived from link name, global name space and “true” durability.

If queue exists and there is no consumer, Attach the link with the Source set.

If queue does not exist, refuse the link with error “not found”  

NO

YES

NO

N/A

Look for queue with name derived from link name (up to “|”), container id and “true” durability.

If queue exists and there is no consumer, Attach the link with the Source set.

If queue does not exist, refuse the link with error “not found”.

NO

YES

YES

N/A

Look for queue with name derived from link name (up to “|”), global name space and “true” durability.

If queue exists and there is no consumer, Attach the link with the Source set.

If queue does not exist, refuse the link with error “not found”.

 

Link re-Attach

If link exists and the queue exists see the instructions for the existing queue for SHARED=YES.  
If link exists and the queue does not exist, recreate a queue as described in corresponding instructions above.

Link Detach

If the Detach has close=true

*the queue associated with the link is

Pseudo Code

The above described behaviour results in the following pseudo code. Where the below differs from the above the above is considered normative:

if Link does not exists
        if Source is set
