Quick Start

Drop the component on a form, configure the properties below and activate it. The snippet that follows shows the typical Client AMQP Connect — Basic Usage configuration sourced from the online help.

About this scenario. Connect to AMQP server without authentication. Define the AMQPOptions property values, virtual host and then set in the TsgcWebSocketClient the Host and Port of the server.

Delphi (VCL / FireMonkey)

oAMQP := TsgcWSPClient_AMQP.Create(nil);
oAMQP.AMQPOptions.Locale := 'en_US';
oAMQP.AMQPOptions.MaxChannels := 100;
oAMQP.AMQPOptions.MaxFrameSize := 16384;
oAMQP.AMQPOptions.VirtualHost := '/';
oAMQP.HeartBeat.Enabled := true;
oAMQP.HeartBeat.Interval := 60;

oClient := TsgcWebSocketClient.Create(nil);
oAMQP.Client := oClient;
oClient.Specifications.RFC6455 := false;
oClient.Host := 'www.esegece.com';
oClient.Port := 5672;
oClient.Active := True;

C++ Builder

oAMQP = new TsgcWSPClient_AMQP();
oAMQP->AMQPOptions->Locale = "en_US";
oAMQP->AMQPOptions->MaxChannels = 100;
oAMQP->AMQPOptions->MaxFrameSize = 16384;
oAMQP->AMQPOptions->VirtualHost = "/";
oAMQP->HeartBeat->Enabled = true;
oAMQP->HeartBeat->Interval = 60;

oClient = new TsgcWebSocketClient();
oAMQP->Client = oClient;
oClient->Specifications->RFC6455 = false;
oClient->Host = "www.esegece.com";
oClient->Port = 5672;
oClient->Active = true;

.NET (C#)

oAMQP = new TsgcWSPClient_AMQP();
oAMQP.AMQPOptions.Locale = "en_US";
oAMQP.AMQPOptions.MaxChannels = 100;
oAMQP.AMQPOptions.MaxFrameSize = 16384;
oAMQP.AMQPOptions.VirtualHost = "/";
oAMQP.HeartBeat.Enabled = true;
oAMQP.HeartBeat.Interval = 60;

oClient = new TsgcWebSocketClient();
oAMQP.Client = oClient;
oClient.Specifications.RFC6455 = false;
oClient.Host = "www.esegece.com";
oClient.Port = 5672;
oClient.Active = true;

Common scenarios

The following scenarios are lifted verbatim from the online help. Each shows the configuration and method calls needed to drive the component through a specific real-world flow.

1 · Client AMQP1 Connect — Basic Usage

Connect to an AMQP 1.0.0 server without authentication. Define the AMQPOptions property values, virtual host and then set in the TsgcWebSocketClient the Host and Port of the server.

Delphi (VCL / FireMonkey)
// Creating AMQP client
oAMQP := TsgcWSPClient_AMQP1.Create(nil);
// Creating WebSocket client
oClient := TsgcWebSocketClient.Create(nil);
// Setting WebSocket specifications
oClient.Specifications.RFC6455 := False;
// Setting WebSocket client properties
oClient.Host := 'amqp_host_address';
oClient.Port := 5672;
// Assigning WebSocket client to AMQP client
oAMQP.Client := oClient;
// Activating WebSocket client
oClient.Active := True;
C++ Builder
// Creating AMQP client
oAMQP = new TsgcWSPClient_AMQP1(this);
// Creating WebSocket client
oClient = new TsgcWebSocketClient(this);
// Setting WebSocket specifications
oClient->Specifications->RFC6455 = false;
// Setting WebSocket client properties
oClient->Host = L"amqp_host_address";
oClient->Port = 5672;
// Assigning WebSocket client to AMQP client
oAMQP->Client = oClient;
// Activating WebSocket client
oClient->Active = true;
.NET (C#)
oAMQP = new TsgcWSPClient_AMQP1(this);
// Creating WebSocket client
oClient = new TsgcWebSocketClient(this);
// Setting WebSocket specifications
oClient.Specifications.RFC6455 = false;
// Setting WebSocket client properties
oClient.Host = "amqp_host_address";
oClient.Port = 5672;
// Assigning WebSocket client to AMQP client
oAMQP.Client = oClient;
// Activating WebSocket client
oClient.Active = true;

2 · Client MQTT Connect — Basic Usage

Connect to Mosquitto MQTT server using websocket protocol. Subscribe to topic: "topic1" after connect.

Delphi (VCL / FireMonkey)
oClient := TsgcWebSocketClient.Create(nil);
oClient.Host := 'test.mosquitto.org';
oClient.Port := 8080;
oMQTT := TsgcWSPClient_MQTT.Create(nil);
oMQTT.Client := oClient;
oClient.Active := True;

procedure OnMQTTConnect(Connection: TsgcWSConnection; const Session: Boolean; const ReasonCode: Integer; 
 const ReasonName: string; const ConnectProperties: TsgcWSMQTTCONNACKProperties);
begin
oMQTT.Subscribe('topic1');
end;
C++ Builder
oClient = new TsgcWebSocketClient();
oClient->Host = "test.mosquitto.org";
oClient->Port = 8080;
oMQTT = new TsgcWSPClient_MQTT();
oMQTT->Client = oClient;
oClient->Active = true;

void OnMQTTConnect(TsgcWSConnection *Connection, const bool Session, const int ReasonCode, 
 const string ReasonName, const TsgcWSMQTTCONNACKProperties *ConnectProperties);
{
oMQTT->Subscribe("topic1");
}
.NET (C#)
oClient = new TsgcWebSocketClient();
oClient.Host = "test.mosquitto.org";
oClient.Port = 8080;
oMQTT = TsgcWSPClient_MQTT.Create(nil);
oMQTT.Client = oClient;
oClient.Active = true;

void OnMQTTConnect(TsgcWSConnection Connection, bool Session, int ReasonCode, 
 string ReasonName, TsgcWSMQTTCONNACKProperties ConnectProperties);
{
oMQTT.Subscribe("topic1");
}

3 · Subscribe QoS = At Least Once

You can Subscribe to a Topic using method Subscribe from TsgcWSPClient_MQTT. This method has the following parameters:

Delphi (VCL / FireMonkey)
MQTT.Subscribe('topic1', mtqsAtLeastOnce);
C++ Builder
MQTT->Subscribe("topic1", mtqsAtLeastOnce);
.NET (C#)
MQTT.Subscribe("topic1", TmqttQoS.mtqsAtLeastOnce);

4 · Subscribe Topic

Subscribe to Topic "topic1" after a successful connection.

Delphi (VCL / FireMonkey)
oClient := TsgcWebSocketClient.Create(nil);
oClient.Host := 'test.mosquitto.org';
oClient.Port := 8080;
oMQTT := TsgcWSPClient_MQTT.Create(nil);
oMQTT.Client := oClient;
oClient.Active := True;

procedure OnMQTTConnect(Connection: TsgcWSConnection; const Session: Boolean; const ReasonCode: Integer; 
 const ReasonName: string; const ConnectProperties: TsgcWSMQTTCONNACKProperties);
begin
oMQTT.Subscribe('topic1');
end;
C++ Builder
oClient = new TsgcWebSocketClient();
oClient->Host = "test.mosquitto.org";
oClient->Port = 8080;
oMQTT = new TsgcWSPClient_MQTT();
oMQTT->Client = oClient;
oClient->Active = true;

void OnMQTTConnect(TsgcWSConnection *Connection, const bool Session, const int ReasonCode, 
 const string ReasonName, const TsgcWSMQTTCONNACKProperties *ConnectProperties);
{
oMQTT->Subscribe("topic1");
}
.NET (C#)
oClient = new TsgcWebSocketClient();
oClient.Host = "test.mosquitto.org";
oClient.Port = 8080;
oMQTT = TsgcWSPClient_MQTT.Create(nil);
oMQTT.Client = oClient;
oClient.Active = true;

void OnMQTTConnect(TsgcWSConnection Connection, bool Session, int ReasonCode, string ReasonName, 
 TsgcWSMQTTCONNACKProperties ConnectProperties);
{
oMQTT->Subscribe("topic1");
}

5 · Publish Messages

The method PublishMessages is used to send a message to the AMQP server.

Delphi (VCL / FireMonkey)
AMQP.PublishMessage('channel_name', 'exchange_name', 'routing_key', 'Hello from sgcWebSockets!!!');

procedure OnAMQPBasicReturn(Sender: TObject; const aChannel: string; 
 const aReturn: TsgcAMQPFramePayload_Method_BasicReturn; 
 const aContent: TsgcAMQPMessageContent);
begin
DoLog('#AMQP_basic_return: ' + aChannel + ' ' + IntToStr(aReturn.ReplyCode) + ' ' + aReturn.ReplyText + ' ' + aContent.Body.AsString);
end;
C++ Builder
AMQP->PublishMessage("channel_name", "exchange_name", "routing_key", "Hello from sgcWebSockets!!!");

private void OnAMQPBasicReturn(TObject *Sender, const string aChannel, 
 const TsgcAMQPFramePayload_Method_BasicReturn *aReturn, 
 const TsgcAMQPMessageContent *aContent)
{
DoLog("#AMQP_basic_return: " + aChannel + " " + IntToStr(aReturn->ReplyCode) + " " + aReturn->ReplyText + " " + aContent->Body->AsString);
}
.NET (C#)
AMQP.PublishMessage("channel_name", "exchange_name", "routing_key", "Hello from sgcWebSockets!!!");

private void OnAMQPBasicReturn(TObject Sender, const string aChannel, 
  const TsgcAMQPFramePayload_Method_BasicReturn aReturn, 
  const TsgcAMQPMessageContent aContent)
{
DoLog("#AMQP_basic_return: " + aChannel + " " + aReturn.ReplyCode.ToString() + " " + aReturn.ReplyText + " " + aContent.Body.AsString);
}

6 · Publish a simple message

You can publish messages to all subscribers of a Topic using Publish method, which has the following parameters:

Delphi (VCL / FireMonkey)
MQTT.Publish('topic1', 'Hello Subscribers topic1');
C++ Builder
MQTT->Publish("topic1", "Hello Subscribers topic1");
.NET (C#)
MQTT.Publish("topic1", "Hello Subscribers topic1");
