Concurrency Considerations

Channel instances must not be shared between threads. Applications should prefer using a Channel per thread instead of sharing the same Channel across multiple threads. While some operations on channels are safe to invoke concurrently, some are not and will result in incorrect frame interleaving on the wire. Sharing channels between threads will also interfere with Publisher Confirms. As such, applications need to use a Channel per thread.

      Returns:
      an interface to the current default consumer.
    • setDefaultConsumer

      void setDefaultConsumer(Consumer consumer)
      Set the current default consumer. Under certain circumstances it is possible for a channel to receive a message delivery which does not match any consumer which is currently set up via basicConsume(). This will occur after the following sequence of events: ctag = basicConsume(queue, consumer); // i.e. with explicit acks // some deliveries take place but are not acked basicCancel(ctag); basicRecover(false); Since requeue is specified to be false in the basicRecover, the spec states that the message must be redelivered to "the original recipient" - i.e. the same channel / consumer-tag. But the consumer is no longer active. In these circumstances, you can register a default consumer to handle such deliveries. If no default consumer is registered an IllegalStateException will be thrown when such a delivery arrives. Most people will not need to use this.
      Parameters:
      consumer - the consumer to use, or null indicating "don't use one".
    • basicQos

      void basicQos(int prefetchSize, int prefetchCount, boolean global) throws IOException
      Request specific "quality of service" settings.

      These settings impose limits on the amount of data the server will deliver to consumers before requiring acknowledgements. Thus they provide a means of consumer-initiated flow control.

      Note the prefetch count must be between 0 and 65535 (unsigned short in AMQP 0-9-1).

      Parameters:
      prefetchSize - maximum amount of content (measured in octets) that the server will deliver, 0 if unlimited
      prefetchCount - maximum number of messages that the server will deliver, 0 if unlimited
      global - true if the settings should be applied to the entire channel rather than each consumer
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error is encountered
      See Also:
    • basicQos

      void basicQos(int prefetchCount, boolean global) throws IOException
      Request a specific prefetchCount "quality of service" settings for this channel.

      Note the prefetch count must be between 0 and 65535 (unsigned short in AMQP 0-9-1).

      Parameters:
      prefetchCount - maximum number of messages that the server will deliver, 0 if unlimited
      global - true if the settings should be applied to the entire channel rather than each consumer
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error is encountered
