AMPQ vs STOMP for reprocessing
Opened this issue · 2 comments
It seems that efforts are underway over in python-zocalo land to start using RabbitMQ with the AMQP protocol rather than ActiveMQ with the STOMP protocol. To this end I have installed RabbitMQ in the hopes of triggering reprocessing jobs from SynchWeb. However, SynchWeb is still using STOMP protocol as evidenced by the dependency on
"stomp-php/stomp-php": "3.0.6"
in the composer.json and the use of Stomp in api/src/Queue.php
So this should be simple enough... just switch over to the php-ampqlib library and rewrite api/src/Queue.php. Unfortunately it appears that php-ampqlib does not support PHP5, which at this point seems to be a requirement for running SynchWeb..... so what to do?
Maybe there is a way to configure RabbitMQ to accept Stomp messages? OR perhaps making the changes in SynchWeb that would be needed to allow use of PHP>=7.4?
An alternative is to modify api/src/Queue.php to publish messages using RabbitMQ’s HTTP API. For example:
Sending a RabbitMQ message with JSON payload using curl

We are now using PHP7.3 if that helps...
