  2. Agenda • What is Messages Queuing • Why use Message Queuing • Working with Queues and Messages

  3. What is Messages Queuing • Message queuing is a system that allows different applications to communicate with each other. E-mail for Applications

  4. Message Queues • Message Content • Message Data - Application Specific • Sender, Receiver, Timestamp, Expiration • Message Queue • Like a Post Office Box

  5. Why use Message Queuing • Distributed Systems • Communication Speed • MSMQ vs. COM

  6. Distributed Systems • Network-centric Applications • Non-permanent connections • Disconnected users

  7. Communication Speed • TCP is faster, but the connection HAS TO BE reliable… • Faster connections => more expensive connections

  8. MSMQ vs. COM • Synchronous Operations • All systems connected via fast links • Familiar programming model

  9. When to use MSMQ • If the application you are communicating with is not running at the same time as your application, use message queuing… • If the message is important and will cause problems if it is lost, use message queuing… • If your application is not always connected to receiver application, but still needs to be functional, use message queuing... • And if you perform many communication tasks with other application asynchronously, and may or may not care about their response, use message queuing…

  10. Working with Queues and Messages • MSMQ Object Model • MSMQ from ASP Pages • MSMQ from ASP VB Components

  11. MSMQ Object Model

  12. MSMQ for ASP Pages • Declare our variables • Loop through the queues • Peek at the first message • Display its label • Peek for any more messages • Move onto the next queue

  13. Declare our variables • Declare Variables and Create Obejcts <% Option Explicit Dim query Set query = Server.CreateObject("MSMQ.MSMQQuery") Dim qinfos, qinfo, queue, msg Dim arQueues arQueues = Array("OrderReady", "PackingSlip", _ "PendingOrder", "OrderPicking") Dim strQueueName

  14. Loop through the queues • For each queue, create a table and populate with list of contained messages Response.Write "<TABLE WIDTH="95%"><TR>" For Each strQueueName In arQueues Response.Write "<TD valign=top><TABLE BORDER=1>_ <TR><TH>" & strQueueName & "</TH></TR>" & vbCrLf set qinfos = query.LookupQueue(,,strQueueName) qinfos.Reset Set qinfo = qinfos.Next If IsObject(qinfo) Then

  15. Peek at the first message • Check to see if there is a message in the queue – PeekCurrent to set cursor position • If not, display Queue Empty message Set queue = qinfo.Open(MQ_PEEK_ACCESS, MQ_DENY_NONE) Set msg = queue.PeekCurrent(100, False, False) If msg Is Nothing Then Response.Write "<TR><TD>Queue Empty</TD></TR>" _ & vbCrLf Else Do While Not (msg Is Nothing)

  16. Display its label • The Order Number is stored in the label field, so display it. Response.Write "<TR><TD>“ & msg.Label & _ "</TD></TR>" & vbCrLf

  17. Peek for any more messages • Use the PeekNext to check for the next message in the queue Set msg = queue.PeekNext(50, False, False) Loop End If End If

  18. Move onto the next queue • End the table for the current queue, then move on to the next queue Response.Write "</TABLE></TD>" & vbCrLf Next Response.Write "</TR></TABLE>" & vbCrLf %>

  19. MSMQ for ASP VB Components • Create the Project • Set References • Implement ObjectControl • Common Helper Functions • Posting to a queue • Retrieving from a queue • Use in ASP

  20. Building the VB Component - Show Example -
