Does anyone have experience with embedding messaging or mailing programs into VS? I'm interested in things like Skype or Instant Messenger being embedded as tool windows. If you use (or have used) something like this, how has it affected your productivity? ...
I'm needing to keep a copy of messages that has been sent by IIS's SMTP server. I've been unsuccessfully trying to find the option within its management console, plus I've had similar luck searching the feature on the official documentation. Any idea or workaround would be much appreciated. The operating system is Windows 2000 and I'm no...
I'm wondering about the table structure for a threaded messaging system. I'm thinking there will be 3 tables: - message_thread - id - subject - message_user - thread_id - user_id - thread_status (unread, read, trash, deleted) - message - date (date sent) - sent_user_id - message Each message_thread wou...
I want to get some ideas on how I might control a video camera through an IP address. I have an API to control pan and tilt from a local machine. The code is going to be in C/C++ on Windows. I am still designing if I want multiple cameras controlled from one application or have a one camera to one application. Would SOA be a useful a...
Does it make sense to use Apache Camel for Asynchronous requests? Or should I use simple MoM using a JMS server. There are no Enterprise Integration Patterns that I'll require. Any help would be useful. ...
I'm working on a project that is going to make heavy use of JBoss Messaging (JMS). I'm tasked with building an easy to use wrapper around Messaging for other developers and am thinking about using JMS's Message Selectors to provide a filtering technique to keep unnecessary sending of messages to a minimum. I'm curious if anyone has any e...
Is there a way to do something similar to KVC but use the message name as the key itself? For example, rather than valueForKey:, is there a way for an object to respond to all messages? For example, say you have an XML document: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE ...> <employees> <employee> <name>Bill</name> <de...
I have user control in .Net where I use a hit test in WndProc to allow resizing it in runtime with the mouse. The problem is that after the hit test succedes (mouse press, drag to resize, mouse release) the control jumps upwards in the Z order and ruins it position in the form. I need the hit test since it's a very customized control. ...
Background: I've inherited a web application that is intended to create on-the-fly connections between local and remote equipment. There are a tremendous number of moving parts recently: the app itself has changed significantly; the development toolchain was just updated; and both the local and remote equipment have been "modified" to ...
why dont you see more people using REST architecture for client server system. You see people using sockets, or TIBCO RV or EMS or MQ but i haven't seen much basic REST architecture does anyone know any reason why you would avoid using this architecture for client / server communication for high through put / low latency ...
I'm developing an application in which distributed components talk to one another over a network, in an asynchronous, pub/sub kind of way. For this, I like the idea of sending XML over sockets - it's asynchronous, I don't need a server of any kind, and it can work locally or over a network. I would have to roll my own pub/sub mechanism...
Am creating a lanmessenger in c#. And i have the code to receive and send messages through a port, but I am having a 'minor' confusion regarding how to use them. Should I constantly call the function that listens to the port from which incoming messages are to be received in each event?.. If so, then how do i call the function which sha...
I have several servers that produce xml files from Python and some other servers that consume those xmls using Java. I've only recently looked into JMS and ActiveMQ and decided to try using it to pass the xml files. So I set up ActiveMQ daemons on the consumer servers and figured I'd implement some cycling method on the produces to dist...
We are using messaging in a project of ours to implement pessimistic concurrency. This means that if messaging goes down (channel goes down), concurrency goes down. Is this done in other business applications? Do you close the application (log out the user) if messaging goes down? I'm thinking more of combining the optimistic and p...
Has anyone used the Message Grouping feature in ActiveMQ? http://activemq.apache.org/message-groups.html This would be a really useful feature for a project I'm working on, but I'm curious how well this feature scales and performs. In our system, we would need to group messages into groups of about 3-5 messages, so we would be continu...
Assuming a green field project, what choice of technologies, libraries, middleware, etc. would make it easiest to implement publish-subscribe messaging with durable subscriptions on Windows and .NET? I found WCF Peer Channel using Google, which seems to do most of what I need, but I do not think it guarantees message ordering, nor does ...
I'm currently doing analysis and design for a new message bus architecture in my company. I have tried MSMQ to do something like this in the past and it works well and was thinking of doing the same thing again for this project but using WCF as the API instead of using the System.Messaging API. Has anyone had experience with MSMQ in WC...
Can someone provide some rules of thumb regarding when to use Message Queueing and what practical real-world problems they are supposed to address? Thanks ...
Is it possible to guarantee ordered delivery when using WCF netMSMQbinding? We are putting an insert command followed by a number of update commands on the same queue, and occassionally one of the updates beats the insert. Having added extensive logging it is clear that they are being added to the queue in the correct order and being p...
In my line of work it's hard to go five minutes without someone extolling the virtues of MQ Series or MSMQ or the like, and I always wonder, after the sparkle of buzzwords has passed, what are some actual examples of these wonderful devices out in the real world. What I'm looking for is something that might inspire me to find a use for ...
