JMS

This page describes the usage of the Stream Reactor JMS Source Connector.

A Kafka Connect JMS source connector to subscribe to messages on JMS queues and topics and write them to a Kafka topic.

The connector uses the standard JMS protocols and has been tested against ActiveMQ.

The connector allows for the JMS initial.context.factory and connection.factory to be set according to your JMS provider. The appropriate implementation jars must be added to the CLASSPATH of the connect workers or placed in the plugin.path of the connector.

Each JMS message is committed only when it has been written to Kafka. If a failure happens when writing to Kafka, i.e. the message is too large, then the JMS message will not be acknowledged. It will stay in the queue so it can be actioned upon.

The schema of the messages is fixed and can be found under Data Types unless a converter is used.

You must provide the JMS implementation jars for your JMS service.

Connector Class

io.lenses.streamreactor.connect.jms.source.JMSSourceConnector

Example

For more examples see the tutorials.

name=jms-source
connector.class=io.lenses.streamreactor.connect.jms.source.JMSSourceConnector
tasks.max=1
connect.jms.kcql=INSERT INTO jms SELECT * FROM jms-queue WITHTYPE QUEUE
connect.jms.initial.context.factory=org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory
connect.jms.url=tcp://activemq:61616
connect.jms.connection.factory=ConnectionFactory

KCQL support

You can specify multiple KCQL statements separated by ; to have the connector sink into multiple topics.

The following KCQL is supported:

INSERT INTO kafka_topic
SELECT *
FROM jms_destination
WITHTYPE [TOPIC|QUEUE]
[WITHCONVERTER=`myclass`]

The selection of fields from the JMS message is not supported.

Examples:

-- Select from a JMS queue and write to a Kafka topic
INSERT INTO topicA SELECT * FROM jms_queue WITHTYPE QUEUE

-- Select from a JMS topic and write to a Kafka topic with a json converter
INSERT INTO topicA
SELECT * FROM jms_topic
WITHTYPE TOPIC
WITHCONVERTER=`com.datamountaineer.streamreactor.connect.converters.source.AvroConverter`

Destination types

The connector supports both TOPICS and QUEUES, controlled by the WITHTYPE KCQL clause.

Message Converters

The connector supports converters to handle different message payload formats in the source topic or queue.

If no converter is provided the JMS message is converter to a Kafka Struct representation.

See source record converters.

Name
Description
Type
Default Value

connect.jms.url

Provides the JMS broker url

string

connect.jms.initial.context.factory

Initial Context Factory, e.g: org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory

string

connect.jms.connection.factory

Provides the full class name for the ConnectionFactory compile to use, e.gorg.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory

string

ConnectionFactory

connect.jms.kcql

connect.jms.kcql

string

connect.jms.subscription.name

subscription name to use when subscribing to a topic, specifying this makes a durable subscription for topics

string

connect.jms.password

Provides the password for the JMS connection

password

connect.jms.username

Provides the user for the JMS connection

string

connect.jms.error.policy

Specifies the action to be taken if an error occurs while inserting the data. There are two available options: NOOP - the error is swallowed THROW - the error is allowed to propagate. RETRY - The exception causes the Connect framework to retry the message. The number of retries is based on The error will be logged automatically

string

THROW

connect.jms.retry.interval

The time in milliseconds between retries.

int

60000

connect.jms.max.retries

The maximum number of times to try the write again.

int

20

connect.jms.destination.selector

Selector to use for destination lookup. Either CDI or JNDI.

string

CDI

connect.jms.initial.context.extra.params

List (comma-separated) of extra properties as key/value pairs with a colon delimiter to supply to the initial context e.g. SOLACE_JMS_VPN:my_solace_vp

list

[]

connect.jms.batch.size

The number of records to poll for on the target JMS destination in each Connect poll.

int

100

connect.jms.polling.timeout

Provides the timeout to poll incoming messages

long

1000

connect.jms.source.default.converter

Contains a canonical class name for the default converter of a raw JMS message bytes to a SourceRecord. Overrides to the default can be done by using connect.jms.source.converters still. i.e. com.datamountaineer.streamreactor.connect.source.converters.AvroConverter

string

connect.jms.converter.throw.on.error

If set to false the conversion exception will be swallowed and everything carries on BUT the message is lost!!; true will throw the exception.Default is false.

boolean

false

connect.converter.avro.schemas

If the AvroConverter is used you need to provide an avro Schema to be able to read and translate the raw bytes to an avro record. The format is $MQTT_TOPIC=$PATH_TO_AVRO_SCHEMA_FILE

string

connect.jms.headers

Contains collection of static JMS headers included in every SinkRecord The format is connect.jms.headers="$MQTT_TOPIC=rmq.jms.message.type:TextMessage,rmq.jms.message.priority:2;$MQTT_TOPIC2=rmq.jms.message.type:JSONMessage"

string

connect.progress.enabled

Enables the output for how many records have been processed

boolean

false

connect.jms.evict.interval.minutes

Removes the uncommitted messages from the internal cache. Each JMS message is linked to the Kafka record to be published. Failure to publish a record to Kafka will mean the JMS message will not be acknowledged.

int

10

connect.jms.evict.threshold.minutes

The number of minutes after which an uncommitted entry becomes evictable from the connector cache.

int

10

connect.jms.scale.type

How the connector tasks parallelization is decided. Available values are kcql and default. If kcql is provided it will be based on the number of KCQL statements written; otherwise it will be driven based on the connector tasks.max
