@hackage stomp-patterns0.0.1

The Stomp Protocol specifies a reduced message broker with queues usually read by one application and written by one or more applications. The specification does not include other, more advanced, interoperability patterns, where, for example, a client requests a job from a server or a publisher sends data to many subscribers. Such communication patterns, apparantly, are left to be implemented by applications. Patterns like client-server, publish and subscribe and many others, however, are used over and over again in message-oriented applications.

This library implements a number of communication patterns on top of the Stomp specification that are often used and often described in the literature. There is a set of basic patterns,

• client-server,

• publish and subscribe and

• pusher-worker (pipeline)

as well as a set of derived patterns, namely:

• Desk: A service to obtain the access point (i.e. queue name) of a specified provider;

• Load balancers: Services to balance requests among a group of connected workers (a.k.a. Majordomo pattern);

• Bridge: Connections between brokers.

More information, examples and a test suite are available on http://github.com/toschoo/mom. The Stomp specification can be found at http://stomp.github.com.

The notion of pattern and the related concepts, as they are presented here, rely heavily on Pieter Hintjens, "Code Connected", O'Reilly, 2013 (see also http://hintjens.com/books).
