QPID and RESTful services
Hi,
Been using QPID for a while and it is performing very well .
My client has asked me to look at how easy it might be to produce a
RESTful interface to QPID, so that data can be sent/received using URL's
and the http PUT/GET operations.
Has anyone tried this before with QPID?
Clive.

I would also be interested if you did this, I have a use case for this too.

Thanks for the information.
I was more thinking of producing an additional module for QPID (much
like the message store ) that when loaded exposed the exchanges and
queues as a RESTful interface and was basically fully integrated into
the QPID broker. I could also then use QMF for the management and
reporting. The C++ POCO libraries have a good lightweight http/https
daemon that I was thinking of using with an additional layer that just
mapped between the broker internals and the http GET/POST/PUT commands.
The JAVA Broker might be a better starting point but my client is keen
to stick with C++.

+1, but if you have more and more requirements like this which is not
directly related to what we are doing in Qpid ESB would be a good solution
for the futuree.

I would think that an ESB might be a bit overkill here. There ought to be a lighter-weight solution.
Also with the new API I think it might be easier to provide a REST "wrapper". The URL might map pretty easily to a node and the REST semantics would sit nicely on top of sends and fetches. No?

Hi Clive,
I am not sure about this feature in Qpid.
You can simply use an ESB infront of Qpid and configure ESB to send the
message to Qpid instance .. so you have to directly talk to the proxy in
your ESB When you are talking to the ESB instance you can invoke as you like
(SOAP,REST,JMS any transport).
