1.2 Reconnecting

By default this library tries to establish the connection and the user gets notified by means of a disconnected pseudo frame that the connection is lost. Using the Options argument of stomp_connection/6 the system can be configured to try and keep connecting if the server is not available and reconnect if the connection is lost. See the pong.pl example.

[det]stomp_connection(+Address, +Host, +Headers, :Callback, -Connection)

[det]stomp_connection(+Address, +Host, +Headers, :Callback, -Connection, +Options)

Create a connection reference. The connection is not set up yet by this predicate. Callback is called on any received frame except for heart beat frames as below.

call(Callback, Command, Connection, Header, Body)

Where command is one of the commands below. Header is a dict holding the STOMP frame header, where all values are strings except for the 'content-length' key value which is passed as an integer.

Body is a string or, if the data is of the type application/json, a dict.

connected: A connection was established. Connection and Header are valid.
disconnected: The connection was lost. Only Connection is valid.
message: A message arrived. All three arguments are valid. Body is a dict if the content-type of the message is application/json and a string otherwise.
heartbeat: A heartbeat was received. Only Connection is valid. This callback is also called for each newline that follows a frame. These newlines can be a heartbeat, but can also be additional newlines that follow a frame.
heartbeat_timeout: No heartbeat was received. Only Connection is valid.
error: An error happened. All three arguments are valid and handled as message.

Note that stomp_teardown/1 causes the receiving and heartbeat thread to be signalled with abort/0.

Options processed:

reconnect(+Bool): Try to reestablish the connection to the server if the connection is lost. Default is false
connect_timeout(+Seconds): Maximum time to try and reestablish a connection. The default is 600 (10 minutes).
json_options(+Options): Options passed to json_read_dict/3 to translate application/json content to Prolog. Default is [].

`Address`	is a valid address for tcp_connect/3. Normally a term `Host`:Port, e.g., `localhost:32772`.
`Host`	is a path denoting the STOMP host. Often just `/`.
`Headers`	is a dict with STOMP headers used for the `CONNECT` request.
`Connection`	is an opaque ground term that identifies the connection.

[nondet]stomp_connection_property(?Connection, ?Property)

True when Property, is a property of Connection. Defined properties are:

address(Address)
callback(Callback)
host(Host)
headers(Headers)
reconnect(Bool)
connect_timeout(Seconds): All the above properties result from the stomp_connection/6 registration.
receiver_thread_id(Thread)
stream(Stream)
heartbeat_thread_id(Thread)
received_heartbeat(TimeStamp): These describe an active STOMP connection.

stomp_destroy_connection(+Connection)

Destroy a connection. If it is active, first use stomp_teardown/1 to disconnect.

[det]stomp_setup(+Connection, +Options)

Set up the actual socket connection and start receiving thread. This is a no-op if the connection has already been created. The Options processed are below. Other options are passed to tcp_connect/3.

timeout(+Seconds): If tcp_connect/3 fails, retry until the timeout is reached. If Seconds is inf or infinite, keep retrying forever.

[semidet]stomp_teardown(+Connection)

Tear down the socket connection, stop receiving thread and heartbeat thread (if applicable). The registration of the connection as created by stomp_connection/5 is preserved and the connection may be reconnected using stomp_connect/1.

[det]stomp_reconnect(+Connection)

Teardown the connection and try to reconnect.

[det]stomp_connect(+Connection)

[det]stomp_connect(+Connection, +Options)

Setup the connection. First ensures a socket connection and if this is new send a CONNECT frame. Protocol version and heartbeat negotiation will be handled. STOMP frame is not used for backward compatibility.

This predicate waits for the connection handshake to have completed. Currently it waits for a maximum of 10 seconds after establishing the socket for the server reply.

Calling this on an established connection has no effect.

Errors: stomp_error(connect, Connection, Detail) if no connection could be established.

[det]stomp_send(+Connection, +Destination, +Headers, +Body)

Send a SEND frame. If content-type is not provided, text/plain will be used. content-length will be filled in automatically.

See also: http://stomp.github.io/stomp-specification-1.2.html\#SEND

[det]stomp_send_json(+Connection, +Destination, +Headers, +JSON)

Send a SEND frame. JSON can be either a JSON term or a dict. content-type is filled in automatically as application/json and content-length will be filled in automatically as well.

[det]stomp_subscribe(+Connection, +Destination, +Id, +Headers)

Send a SUBSCRIBE frame.

See also: http://stomp.github.io/stomp-specification-1.2.html\#SUBSCRIBE

[det]stomp_unsubscribe(+Connection, +Id)

Send an UNSUBSCRIBE frame.

See also: http://stomp.github.io/stomp-specification-1.2.html\#UNSUBSCRIBE

[det]stomp_ack(+Connection, +MessageId, +Headers)

Send an ACK frame. See stomp_ack/2 for simply passing the header received with the message we acknowledge.

See also: http://stomp.github.io/stomp-specification-1.2.html\#ACK

[det]stomp_nack(+Connection, +MessageId, +Headers)

Send a NACK frame. See stomp_nack/2 for simply passing the header received with the message we acknowledge.

See also: http://stomp.github.io/stomp-specification-1.2.html\#NACK

[det]stomp_ack(+Connection, +MsgHeader)

[det]stomp_nack(+Connection, +MsgHeader)

Reply with an ACK or NACK based on the received message header. On a STOMP 1.1 request we get an ack field in the header and reply with an id. For STOMP 1.2 we reply with the message-id and subscription that we received with the message.

[det]stomp_begin(+Connection, +Transaction)

Send a BEGIN frame. @see http://stomp.github.io/stomp-specification-1.2.html\#BEGIN

[det]stomp_commit(+Connection, +Transaction)

Send a COMMIT frame.

See also: http://stomp.github.io/stomp-specification-1.2.html\#COMMIT

[det]stomp_abort(+Connection, +Transaction)

Send a ABORT frame.

See also: http://stomp.github.io/stomp-specification-1.2.html\#ABORT

[semidet]stomp_transaction(+Connection, :Goal)

Run Goal as once/1, tagging all SEND messages inside the transaction with the transaction id. If Goal fails or raises an exception the transaction is aborted. Failure or exceptions cause the transaction to be aborted using stomp_abort/2, after which the result is forwarded.

[det]stomp_disconnect(+Connection, +Headers)

Send a DISCONNECT frame. If the connection has the reconnect property set to true, this will be reset to disconnected to avoid reconnecting. A subsequent stomp_connect/2 resets the reconnect status.
