Running the Clients for the Asynchronous Receive Example

To run the programs using NetBeans IDE, follow these steps.

1. Run the AsynchConsumer example:

   1. Right-click the asynchconsumer project and choose Properties.

   2. Select Run from the Categories tree.

   3. In the Arguments field, type the following:

      topic

   4. Click OK.

   5. Right-click the project and choose Run.

      The program displays the following lines and appears to hang:

      Destination type is topic To end program, type Q or q, then <return>

2. Now run the Producer example:

   1. Right-click the producer project and choose Properties.

   2. Select Run from the Categories tree.

   3. In the Arguments field, type the following:

      topic 3

   4. Click OK.

   5. Right-click the project and choose Run.

      The output of the program looks like this:

      Destination type is topic Sending message: This is message 1 Sending message: This is message 2 Sending message: This is message 3

      In the other window, the AsynchConsumer program displays the following:

      Destination type is topic To end program, type Q or q, then <return> Reading message: This is message 1 Reading message: This is message 2 Reading message: This is message 3 Message is not a TextMessage

      The last line appears because the program has received the non-text control message sent by the Producer program.

3. Type Q or q in the Output window and press Return to stop the program.

4. Now run the programs using a queue. In this case, as with the synchronous example, you can run the Producer program first, because there is no timing dependency between the sender and receiver.

   1. Right-click the producer project and choose Properties.

   2. Select Run from the Categories tree.

   3. In the Arguments field, type the following:

      queue 3

   4. Click OK.

   5. Right-click the project and choose Run.

      The output of the program looks like this:

      Destination type is queue Sending message: This is message 1 Sending message: This is message 2 Sending message: This is message 3

5. Run the AsynchConsumer program.

   1. Right-click the asynchconsumer project and choose Properties.

   2. Select Run from the Categories tree.

   3. In the Arguments field, type the following:

      queue

   4. Click OK.

   5. Right-click the project and choose Run.

      The output of the program looks like this:

      Destination type is queue To end program, type Q or q, then <return> Reading message: This is message 1 Reading message: This is message 2 Reading message: This is message 3 Message is not a TextMessage

6. Type Q or q in the Output window and press Return to stop the program.

To run the clients using the appclient command, follow these steps:

1. Run the AsynchConsumer program, specifying the topic destination type.

   cd dist appclient -client asynchconsumer.jar topic

   The program displays the following lines and appears to hang:

   Destination type is topic To end program, type Q or q, then <return>

2. In the terminal window where you ran the Producer program previously, run the program again, sending three messages. The command looks like this:

   appclient -client producer.jar topic 3

   The output of the program looks like this:

   Destination type is topic Sending message: This is message 1 Sending message: This is message 2 Sending message: This is message 3

   In the other window, the AsynchConsumer program displays the following:

   Destination type is topic To end program, type Q or q, then <return> Reading message: This is message 1 Reading message: This is message 2 Reading message: This is message 3 Message is not a TextMessage

   The last line appears because the program has received the non-text control message sent by the Producer program.

3. Type Q or q and press Return to stop the program.

4. Now run the programs using a queue. In this case, as with the synchronous example, you can run the Producer program first, because there is no timing dependency between the sender and receiver:

   appclient -client producer.jar queue 3

   The output of the program looks like this:

   Destination type is queue Sending message: This is message 1 Sending message: This is message 2 Sending message: This is message 3

5. Run the AsynchConsumer program:

   appclient -client asynchconsumer.jar queue

   The output of the program looks like this:

   Destination type is queue To end program, type Q or q, then <return> Reading message: This is message 1 Reading message: This is message 2 Reading message: This is message 3 Message is not a TextMessage

6. Type Q or q to stop the program.
