Apache ActiveMQ ™ -- The ActiveBlaze Message type

Features > ActiveMQ Real Time > The ActiveBlaze Message type

The foundation of message and event parsing in ActiveBlaze is the BlazeMessage.
A BlazeMessage is a a Map of key value pairs, where the keys are strings and the values are primitive objects.

The values supported are:

• byte
• bytes[]
• char
• short
• int
• long
• float
• double
• Map (supports recursion)

You can create a BlazeMessage by its default constructor - e.g.

import org.apache.activeblaze.*; ...

BlazeMessage msg = new BlazeMessage(); msg.setFloatValue("rate",0.94f);

There's a few utility methods to support passing around standard objects - e.g.

import org.apache.activeblaze.*; ...

BlazeMessage msg = new BlazeMessage("test string"); String text = msg.getText();

BlazeMessage msg = new BlazeMessage(); msg.setText("test string"); String text = msg.getText();

...

byte[] data = getSomeData(); BlazeMessage msg = new BlazeMessage(data); byte[] result = msg.getBytes();

BlazeMessage msg = new BlazeMessage(); msg.setBytes("data); byte[] result = msg.getData();

...

Date date = new Date(); BlazeMessage msg = new BlazeMessage(date); Date result = msg.getObject();

BlazeMessage msg = new BlazeMessage(); msg.setObject(date); Object result = msg.getObject();
