Any Service Bus Java fans out there?!
We are excited to announce a new Java Service Bus client. This new client is expected to have feature parity with our .NET client, and will provide a much simper solution for many of our Service Bus customers.
In the past Service Bus has had limited Java support. Users could use the azure-sdk-for-java, or they could use Apache Qpid Proton-J. Both of these libraries had their downsides. The azure-sdk-for-java was built using HTTP, so the performance and feature set was limited. Proton-J was built for AMQP (so the performance was great), but some of the concepts were a little too low-level to get started easily. The new library is built by Service Bus, for Service Bus, so you can expect Service Bus specific concepts, and a full feature set.
For example, you can start using Queue/Topic/Subscription clients, as well as a "message pump" (a feature that allows you to receive messages from Service Bus continuously without having to worry about writing a loop). And best of all, this library is open source, so you can easily join the conversation and follow along at home. The GitHub repository can be found here: https://github.com/azure/azure-service-bus-java
Once this library becomes generally available and production ready (in the coming months), we will deprecate previous versions of the azure-servicebus Maven packages, and will release a new 1.0.0 version. In the meantime you can get started using the new bits by downloading the preview package here .
In case you want to continue using the old version of the "azure-servicebus" library, make sure to specify the proper version in your pom.xml file. For directions on how to do that, see here . This may be particularly useful in case you aren't ready to upgrade to the latest version yet, as there will be many breaking changes.
- Happy Java Messaging!
