This tutorial shows how to connect websocket clients to AMQP

To run this you must have installed docker and have added a host file entry for kaazing.example.com, as described here

The docker-compose.yml describes two containers it will run: the gateway and the RabbitMQ broker. These will be launched in the following configuration

The gateway container will run a amqp.proxy service that allows WebSocket clients to connect on the front end. Clients will connect on a "wss" address which denotes a TLS secured websocket url. The gateway config file is configured with an amqp.proxy service as follows:

  <service>
    <name>AMQP Tutorial Service</name>
    <description>A service that proxys to an AMQP backend</description>
    <accept>wss://kaazing.example.com:8000/</accept>
    <connect>tcp://rabbitmq:5672</connect>

    <type>amqp.proxy</type>

    <cross-site-constraint>
      <!-- Only websockets coming from this origin can access this url -->
      <allow-origin>https://kaazing.example.com:8000/</allow-origin>
    </cross-site-constraint>
  </service>

1. Start the containers

docker-compose up -d

2. Connect to the gateway in a web browser via https://kaazing.example.com:8000/. You may see a security error saying the certificate is not trusted. This is because we are using a self-signed certificate. Proceed anyways (in chrome this is under the advanced drop down displayed). This will temporarily add the generated self-signed certificate to you truststore.

3. Change the connect url of the demo to wss://kaazing.example.com:8000/ and connect

4. Subscribe/Publish AMQP messages as desired

• Configure AMQP for high availability (Example coming soon)
• Secure your AMQP infrastructure with Enterprise Shield
