I've built this sample: Getting Started With RabbitMQ in .net, but made 2 programs:
I'm using BasicPublish
to publish and BasicAck
to listen as in example. If I run one publisher and several subscribers-on every "send message" from publisher- only one subscriber gets it. So that there is some order (as subscribers were started) in which publisher sends message to subscribers, and I want to send one message to all subscribers. What is wrong with that sample? May be you can provide working sample of publisher/subscribers message exchange via RabbitMq?
Conceptually, RabbitMQ is both: point-to-point as well as pub-sub. You can register your listener application to the topic of an RabbitMQ exchange and receive all messages published to that Topic. So that is clearly 'pub-sub'.
A RabbitMQ connection is based on protocols, is the base for having channels running and, as its names say, connects the server to the client. RabbitMQ client, which is connected to a channel listening to its queues in order to read the messages published on it.
You can kill connections to the RabbitMQ broker using the rabbitmqctl tool (see the man page) or by using the Web UI. You could also purge and delete the queue which belonged to the rogue consumer. However, you can't kill the consumer process itself using those tools.
The example you link to uses simple queueing without an exchange, which ensures that only a single consumer will handle the message. To support pub/sub in RabbitMQ, you need to first create an Exchange, and then have each subscriber bind a Queue on that Exchange. The producer then sends messages to the Exchange, which will publish the message to each Queue that has been bound to it (at least with the simple Fanout exchange type. Routing can be achieved with Direct and Topic exchanges.)
For a Java sample (which could be converted to C# pretty easily) please see here.
