So I am writing my own piece of stuff using jzmq GIT master branch and ZeroMQ 3.2.3.
After installation I tried to test the following simple PUB/SUB program, where a publisher and a subscriber talk in a single process. Since the test is under Windows, I used TCP.
public class ZMQReadynessTest {
private ZMQ.Context context;
@Before
public void setUp() {
context = ZMQ.context(1);
}
@Test
public void testSimpleMessage() {
String topic = "tcp://127.0.0.1:31216";
final AtomicInteger counter = new AtomicInteger();
// _____________________________________ create a simple subscriber
final ZMQ.Socket subscribeSocket = context.socket(ZMQ.SUB);
subscribeSocket.connect(topic);
subscribeSocket.subscribe("TestTopic".getBytes());
Thread subThread = new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
String value = null;
// This would result in trouble /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
{
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(100);
if (subscribeSocket.recvZeroCopy( buffer,
buffer.remaining(),
ZMQ.DONTWAIT
) > 0 ) {
buffer.flip();
value = buffer.asCharBuffer().toString();
System.out.println(buffer.asCharBuffer().toString());
}
}
// This works perfectly + + + + + + + + + + + + +
/*
{
byte[] bytes = subscribeSocket.recv(ZMQ.DONTWAIT);
if (bytes == null || bytes.length == 0) {
continue;
}
value = new String(bytes);
}
*/
if (value != null && value.length() > 0) {
counter.incrementAndGet();
System.out.println(value);
break;
}
}
}
};
subThread.start();
// _____________________________ create a simple publisher
ZMQ.Socket publishSocket = context.socket(ZMQ.PUB);
publishSocket.bind("tcp://*:31216");
try {
Thread.sleep(3000); // + wait 3 sec to make sure its ready
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
fail();
}
// publish a sample message
try {
publishSocket.send("TestTopic".getBytes(), ZMQ.SNDMORE);
publishSocket.send("This is test string".getBytes(), 0);
subThread.join(100);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
fail();
}
assertTrue(counter.get() > 0);
System.out.println(counter.get());
}
}
Now as you can see, in the subscriber if I use a simple .recv(ZMQ.DONTWAIT) method, it works perfectly. However, if I am using the direct byte buffer I got nothing returned - and I got the following exception, seems like on program exit:
Exception in thread "Thread-0" org.zeromq.ZMQException: Resource temporarily unavailable(0xb) at org.zeromq.ZMQ$Socket.recvZeroCopy(Native Method) at ZMQReadynessTest$1.run(ZMQReadynessTest.java:48)
I also tried to use a simple ByteBuffer (not a direct buffer), which doesn't throw the exception above; but also return me nothing.
Does anybody know how to resolve the above?
I don't want to create byte[] objects all around, as I am doing some high performance system. If this cannot be resolved, I might simply use Unsafe instead. But I really want to work in the "supposed way".
Thanks in advance.
