pyhjb 0.5.0

Access JMS systems from python via a REST API

PyHJB is a python client library for accessing JMS 1.1 (Java Message Service) messaging providers via HJB, the HTTP JMS bridge.

HJB provides access to JMS resources via HTTP. It acts as an HTTP gateway server for any JMS messaging provider, and provides a RESTful equivalent for most of the non-optional portions of the JMS API.

PyHJB is a pure python package which, via HJB, allows python programs to:

• send/receive messages from any Enterprise Messaging System that supports JMS. It is distributed with a few demo scripts showing it being used with a selection of well-known messaging providers: WebSphere MQ, Swift MQ, Active MQ and JBoss Messaging.

• register JMS administrable objects via JMS, e.g, queues, topics and connection factories.

• configure JMS runtime objects, e.g, connections, sessions, message consumers, message producers, queue browsers and durable subscribers etc.

Importantly, python programs written using PyHJB are portable across JMS messaging providers. The programs use the JMS API via HTTP rather than a vendor’s custom messaging API, and thus combine two important maintainability traits:

• the use of the JMS API

• being written in python!
