SYNOPSIS

use Try::Tiny;

sub foo {
  my ($self) = @_;
  SERVER_LOOP:
  while (1) {
    my $exception;
    try {
      $self->connect();

      # do something

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

    }
  }

DESCRIPTION

This role provides your class with a flexible way to connect to a STOMP server. It delegates connecting to one of many server in a round-robin fashion to the underlying Net::Stomp-like library.

ATTRIBUTES

connection

The connection to the STOMP server. It's built using the "connection_builder" (passing "extra_connection_builder_args", all "servers" as hosts, and SSL flag and options). It's usually a Net::Stomp object.

is_connected

True if a call to /connect succeded. Net::Stomp::MooseHelpers::ReconnectOnFailure resets this when reconnecting; you should not care much about it.

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.

extra_connection_builder_args

Optional hashref to pass to the "connection_builder" when building the "connection".

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 } ].

If a server requires TLS, you can do [ { hostname => $hostname, port => $port, ssl =>1 } ].

If a server requires authentication, you can pass the credentials in the connect_headers slot here: [ { hostname => $hostname, port => $port, connect_headers => { login => $login, passcode => $passcode } } ].

If all servers require the same authentication, you can instead set the credentials in the "connect_headers" attribute.

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.

If all servers require the same authentication, you can set the credentials here: { login => $login, passcode => $passcode }. If different servers require different credentials, you should set them in the "servers" attribute instead.

METHODS

current_server

Returns the element of "servers" that the "connection" says it's connected to.

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.

If the "connection" attribute is set, and "is_connected", returns without doing anything.
