POC: Spring Boot with an embedded Apache ActiveMQ Apollo STOMP WebSocket server.
Integrates Apollo 1.7.1 with Spring Boot 1.3.0.
Issues:
-
The Apollo WebSocket support requires a specific version of Jetty 8 to be included, so the Spring Boot Jetty support can't be used, as it requires Jetty 9.
-
Further, instead of websocket support you'll only get misleading error messages until you first include the
apollo-brokerdependency with its META-INF SPI file, and then figure out that the websocket protocol class quietly fails if it doesn't find the correct Jetty classes. -
The web admin interface has all kinds of funky dependencies, it really wasn't built to be embedded.
-
I couldn't be arsed to read through enough of the documentation to figure out how to specify topics and queues in
application.yml.
