Service Bus libraries for Java
Overview
Service Bus provides highly reliable queues and publish/subscribe topics with deep feature capabilities such as ordered delivery, sessions, partitioning, scheduling, complex subscriptions, as well as workflow and transaction handling.
Learn more about Service Bus concepts in the messaging documentation section.
For Java developers, Service Bus provides a Microsoft supported native API and Service Bus can also be used with AMQP 1.0 compliant libraries such as Apache Qpid Proton's JMS provider.
Libraries for resource management
Create and manage namespaces, topics, queues, subscriptions and rules using Azure Resource Manager.
Use the Management API in your project:
Add a dependency to your Maven pom.xml file to use the management API in your project.
| Maven Package | Reference | Samples |
|---|---|---|
| azure-mgmt-servicebus | API Reference | Manage Service Bus queues, Create and subscribe to Service Bus topics |
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-mgmt-servicebus</artifactId>
<version>1.38.0</version>
</dependency>
Libraries for data access
Use data access libraries to send and receive messages from Service Bus queues, topics and subscriptions. You can also use these libraries to manage queues, topics, subscriptions and rules in a given namespace. There are two libraries available that provide these features at the moment.
Add a dependency to your Maven pom.xml file to use the client library in your project. Specify the version as desired.
