Previously, the STOMP broker relay did not support heart-beats. It sent
0,0 in the heart-beats header for its own CONNECTED message, and set the
heart-beats header to 0,0 when it was forwarding a CONNECTED from from a
client to the broker.
The broker relay now supports heart-beats for the system relay session.
It will send heart-beats at the send interval that's been negotiated
with the broker and will also expect to receive heart-beats at the
receive interval that's been negotiated with the broker. The receive
interval is multiplied by a factor of three to satisfy the STOMP spec's
suggestion of lenience and ActiveMQ 5.8.0's heart-beat behaviour (see
AMQ-4710).
The broker relay also supports heart-beats between clients and the
broker. For any given client's relay session, any heart-beats received
from the client are forwarded on to the broker and any heart-beats
received from the broker are sent back to the client.
Internally, a heart-beat is represented as a Message with a byte array
payload containing the single byte of new line ('\n') character and
'empty' headers. SubscriptionMethodReturnValueHandler has been updated
to default the message type to SimpMessageType.MESSAGE. This eases
the distinction between a heartbeat and a message that's been created
from a return value from application code.
Before this change, the StompProtocolHandler always responded to
clients with a CONNECTED frame, while the STOMP broker relay
independantly forwarded the client CONNECT to the broker and waited
for the CONNECTED frame back. That meant the relay had to buffer
client messages until it received the CONNECTED response from
the message broker.
This change ensures that clients wait for a CONNECTED frame from
the message broker. The broker relay forwards the CONNECT frame to
the broker. The broker responds with a CONNECTED frame, which the
relay then forwards to the client. As a result, a (well-written)
client will not send any messages to the relay until the connection
to the broker is fully established.
The StompProtcolHandler can now be configured whether to send CONNECTED
frame back. By default that is off. So when using the simple broker,
the StompProtocolHandler can still respond with CONNECTED frames.
The relay's handling of a connection being dropped has also been
improved. When a connection for a client relay session is dropped
an ERROR frame will be sent back to the client. If a connection is
closed as part of a DISCONNECT frame being sent, no ERROR frame
is sent back to the client. When the connection for the system relay
session is dropped, an event is published indicating that the broker
is unavailable. Reactor's TcpClient will then attempt to re-restablish
the connection.
Previously, the broker relay's TCP client used Reactor's built in
delimited codec as part of its parsing of STOMP frames. \0 was used as
the delimiter. This worked for most STOMP frames but, crucially,
not for frames with a body that contained \0: when such a frame was
received it would be truncated.
This commit adds a custom codec that parses STOMP frames more
intelligently. It honours the content-length header allowing it to
correctly parse frames with a body that contains \0. The codec largely
delegates to two new classes: StompEncoder and StompDecoder. For
consistency, code that previously used StompMessageConverter has been
reworked to use these new encoder and decoder classes.

After this change, annotated message handling methods configured to use
a destination prefix (e.g. "/app") no longer have to include the prefix
in their mapping. For example if a client sends a message to "/app/foo"
the annotated methods should be mapped with @MessageMapping("/foo").
Ensure configuration provided for WebSocketHandler's (eg interceptors,
or HandshakeHandler) are passed on to the SockJsService if congiured.
Better separate Servlet-specific parts of the configuration to make it
more obvious where non-Servlet alternatives could fit in.
Add more tests.
Improve WebSocket integration tests.
Previously, the negotiated version was included in the CONNECTED frame
using the accept-version header. This is incorrect. The version
header should be used.
Use a single class for the broker availability event with a boolean
that indicates whether or not the broker is available, rather than one
event for an available broker and one event for an unavailable broker.
Publish broker availability events in SimpleBrokerMessageHandler so that
it can be used as a drop-in replacement for
StompBrokerRelayMessageHandler.
Upgrade to Reactor snapshot builds to take advantage of TcpClient's
reconnect support that was added post-M1. Now, the system relay session
will try every 5 seconds to establish a connection with the broker, both
when first connecting and in the event of subsequently becoming
disconnected.
A more sophisticated reconnection policy, including back off and
failover to different brokers, is possible with the Reactor API. We may
want to enhance the relay's reconnection policy in the future.
Typically, a broken connection is identified by the failure to forward
a message to the broker. As things stand, the message id then discarded.
Any further messages that are forwarded before the connection's been
re-established are queued for forwarding once the CONNECTED frame's been
received. We may want to consider also queueing the message that failed
to send, however we would then need to consider the possibility of the
message itself being what caused the broker to close the connection
and resending it would simply cause the connection to be closed again.
Components that are using a StompBrokerRelayMessageHandler may want
to know whether or not the broker's unavailable. If they're sending
messages to the relay via an asynchronous channel there's currently
no way for them to find this out.
This commit enhances StompBrokerRelayMessageHandler to publish
application events when the broker's availability changes:
BrokerBecameAvailableEvent and BrokerBecameUnavailableEvent.
Irrespective of the number of relay sessions only a single event is
published for each change in the broker's availability.
A getCookies method is now available on ServerHttpRequest with one
ServletServerCookie implementation that wraps a Servlet cookie.
The SockJS service makes use of this to check for an existing session
cookie in the request.
Add SubProtocolHandler to encapsulate the logic for using a
sub-protocol.
A SubProtocolWebSocketHandler is also provided to
delegate to the appropriate SubProtocolHandler based on the
negotiated sub-protocol value at handshake.
StompSubProtocolHandler provides handling for STOMP messages.

SI's BeanFactoryChannelResolver was BeanFactoryAware. This commit
brings Spring's BeanFactoryMessageChannelDestinationResolver in line
with the old SI class.
The resolver for /user/{username} prefixed destinations is now
more explicitly designed to store queue suffixes rather than session
id's, which is what we happen to use as queue suffixes.
This allows something other than the sessionId to be used without
having to change many places. It also enables applications to
construct destinations with user-specific queue suffixes without
making assumptions about what's used for queue suffixes. For
example a controller may construct a map with subscription destinations
and send that down to the client.
The new UserDestinationMessageHandler resolves messages with
destinations prefixed with "/user/{username}" and resolves them into a
destination to which the user is currently subscribed by appending the
user session id.
For example a destination such as "/user/john/queue/trade-confirmation"
would resolve "/trade-confirmation/i9oqdfzo" assuming "i9oqdfzo" is the
user's session id.
Remove base class for STOMP-related message handler classes
(AbstractSimpMessageHandler), polish subclasses and fix issues with
more significant updates to STOMP broker relay.
Introduce base class for SubscribableChannel implementations providing
consistent logging for all channel implementations.
