STOMP - How do I know if my ACK is working?

[Christopher Pisz <ch...@gmail.com>]

I have finished implementing ACKs in my STOMP over Websockets client and
want to test it out.

I can connect, subscribe, send, and receive messages, from ActiveMQ, but
the protocol doesn't have anything to tell me whether or not the ACK
worked. How can I check the ActiveMQ server and see if it is working vs not
working?

"verify by inspecting the management interface to check
on that queue stats."

It's that bit that I am after.
Management Interface? Can you point me to a doc for that?

STOMP Commands sent from the client can request a receipt frame to be 
returned which can tell if a specific frame was received by the remote.  
As to what it does with the command you have to trust that it honors 
your request or verify by inspecting the management interface to check 
on that queue stats.

Lots of options exist for getting management info. Assuming you're using
ActiveMQ Artemis I recommend you read this documentation [1]. This is
likely your simplest option.

"can check the message count of the related queue on
the broker."

How do I do that? I am completely new.

Aside from the receipt option that Tim mentioned (which IMO is the
preferred option), you can check the message count of the related queue on
the broker. If the ack was successful then the message count should
decrease.
