SYNOPSIS

use Try::Tiny;

sub foo {
  my ($self) = @_;

      $self->connect();

      # do something

    } catch {
      $exception = $_;
    };
    if ($exception) {
      if (blessed $exception &&
          $exception->isa('Net::Stomp::MooseHelpers::Exceptions::Stomp')) {
        warn "connection died, trying next server\n";
        $self->clear_connection;

DESCRIPTION

This role provides your class with a flexible way to connect to a STOMP server. It supports connecting to one of many server in a round-robin fashion.

ATTRIBUTES

connection

The connection to the STOMP server. It's built using the "connection_builder" (passing hostname and port), rotating servers via "next_server". It's usually a Net::Stomp object.

connection_builder

Coderef that, given a hashref of options, returns a connection. The default builder just passes the hashref to the constructor of Net::Stomp.

servers

A ServerConfigList, that is, an arrayref of hashrefs, each of which describes how to connect to a single server. Defaults to [ { hostname => 'localhost', port => 61613 } ].

tries_per_server

How many times to try to connect to a server before trying the "next_server". Defaults to 1.

connect_retry_delay

How many seconds to wait between connection attempts. Defaults to 15.

connect_headers

Global setting for connection headers (passed to "connect" in Net::Stomp). Can be overridden by the connect_headers slot in each element of "servers". Defaults to the empty hashref.

METHODS

next_server

Rotates "servers", returning the element that was just moved from the front to the back.

current_server

Returns whatever the last call to "next_server" returned, i.e. the last element of "servers".

connect

Call the connect method on "connection", passing the generic "connect_headers" and the per-server connect headers (from "current_server", slot connect_headers). Throws a Net::Stomp::MooseHelpers::Exceptions::Stomp if anything goes wrong.
