Public CloudMessage Filter

Topic

Subscriptions


Private &

Public Cloud

• Custom rules based on message attributes

• Add attributes to message

Message Filter

BrokeredMessage msg = new BrokeredMessage(messageContent);

msg.Properties["colorCode"] = 1;

• Create subscription with custom rule

RuleDescription rule = new RuleDescription()

{

// 1 - green, 2 - orange

Filter = new SqlFilter("colorCode = 1");

}

namespaceManager.CreateSubscription(

"itcamp", "greensubscription", rule);

• Group messages based on session

Message Splitter

MessageSession msgSession =

msgReceiver.AcceptMessageSession();

BrokeredMessage message;

while ((message = msgSession.Receive()) != null)

{

// Process message

}

msgSession.Complete()

BrokeredMessage message = new BrokereMessage(content);

message.SessionId = "sessionId";

• Consume messages based on session id

• Group messages based on session

Message Aggregator


message.SessionId = "sessionId";

• Use correlation id and filters

BrokereMessage message = new BrokereMessage(content);

message.CorrelationId = “CJ"

topic.Send(message);

namespaceManager.CreateSubscription(

“itcamp”,

“iquestsubscriptioncar”,

new CorrelationFilterExpression(“CJ"));

• Session, message index and message count

Message Resequencer

• Mark message as dead letter when in

incorrect order

• Iterate dead letter queue to access a

message with a lower index


message.Properties["index"] = 2;

message.Properties["count"] = 10

message.SessionId = “CJ-15-IQU";



Private &


MessageSession messageSession =

queueClient.AcceptMessageSession();

int currentIndex = 1;

while(true)

{

BrokeredMessage message = messageSession.Receive();

if(int.Parse(message.Properties[“index”]) != currentIndex)

{

message.DeadLetter();

continue;

}

…

message.Complete();

if(int.Parse(messsage[“count”]) == currentIndex)

{

break;

}

currentIndex++;

}

Public CloudMessage Recipient

Topic

Public Cloud

• Use a property to specific the list of groups

Message Recipient

• Define custom filters using LIKE operator

BrokeredMessage message = new BrokeredMessage(content);

message.Properties[“groups”] = “orange magenta”;

SqlFilter filter = new SqlFilter(

“groups LIKE ‘%orange%’”);

topic.AddSubscription(“subscription3”, filter);

• OR different properties for each group type


“EXISTS orange”);

Message Recipient

• Define custom filters using LIKE operator

BrokeredMessage message = new BrokeredMessage(content);

message.Properties[“groups”] = “orange magenta”;


“groups LIKE ‘%orange%’”);


• OR different properties for each group type

• Use only one property and a prime number

for each group
