JMS Client Installation

Prerequisites
See the Confluent Platform Confluent Platform System Requirements.

Installation

The JMS Client is a library that you use from within your Java applications.

To reference kafka-jms-client in a Maven-based project, first add the Confluent Maven repository to your pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>confluent</id>
        <url>http://packages.confluent.io/maven/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Then add a dependency on the Confluent JMS Client and the JMS API specification:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.confluent</groupId>
    <artifactId>kafka-jms-client</artifactId>
    <version>7.4.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
    <artifactId>geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</artifactId>
    <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

If you don’t use Maven, you can download the JMS Client JAR file directly by navigating to the following URL.

http://packages.confluent.io/maven/io/confluent/kafka-jms-client/7.4.7/kafka-jms-client
-7.4.7.jar

If you require a “fat” JAR (one that includes the JMS Client and all of its dependencies), you can make one by following the instructions in Appendix 1 - Creating a Shaded Fat JAR.

Example

Usage of kafka-jms-client is similar to the JMS API.

The following example program uses a KafkaConnectionFactory instance to create JMS compliant Connection, Session and MessageProducer objects. The MessageProducer is then used to send 50 TextMessage messages to the Apache Kafka® topic test-queue, which is acting as a queue. A MessageConsumer is then created and used to read back these messages.

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.jms.Connection;
import javax.jms.ConnectionFactory;
import javax.jms.Destination;
import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageConsumer;
import javax.jms.MessageProducer;
import javax.jms.Session;
import javax.jms.TextMessage;

import io.confluent.kafka.jms.JMSClientConfig;
import io.confluent.kafka.jms.KafkaConnectionFactory;

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws JMSException {
        Properties settings = new Properties();
        settings.put(JMSClientConfig.CLIENT_ID_CONFIG, "test-client-2");
        settings.put(JMSClientConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "localhost:9092");
        settings.put(JMSClientConfig.ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT_CONF, "localhost:2181");

        ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new KafkaConnectionFactory(settings);
        Connection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
        Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
        Destination testQueue = session.createQueue("test-queue");

        MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(testQueue);
        for (int i=0; i<50; i++) {
            TextMessage message = session.createTextMessage();
            message.setText("This is a text message");
            producer.send(message);
        }

        MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(testQueue);
        while (true) {
            TextMessage message = (TextMessage)consumer.receive();
            System.out.println(message.getText());
        }
    }
}

Appendix 1 - Creating a Shaded Fat JAR

In some scenarios, it is useful to have a “fat” JAR that bundles the JMS Client together with all of its dependencies in a single file. Confluent does not distribute the JMS Client in this form, but you can build a fat JAR yourself easily enough:

  1. Copy the pom.xml below into an empty directory.
  2. Execute the Maven command mvn package.

The resulting artifact will be placed in the target directory along side the pom.xml file. Note: In addition to bundling dependencies, the provided pom.xml file shades them under the namespace confluent.shaded. to avoid potential namespace clashes.
