activemq-cpp pull consumer receive remote address

Question

I have 2 activeMQ brokers with queues and I would like to be able to log incoming ActiveMQ message broker remote address.

After I perform pull consumer receive: pull_consumer->receive(1000);

and after message arrives I do this: ActiveMQConnection *amqconn = dynamic_cast<ActiveMQConnection*>(connection);

then try getting remote adress: amqconn->getTransport().getRemoteAddress().c_str() but its always empty

I checked for getTransport().isClosed() and getTransport().isConnected() and they are not closed and connected

Or is there another way to retrieve this connection information ?

Answer 1

It's possible that the client has a bug that prevents that value getting filled in, or that bit was never implemented in the first place. The ActiveMQ C++ client is no longer being maintained so you aren't likely to receive much if any real answer or support on that. My advice would be to move to something like a C++ client from the Apache Qpid project which use the AMQP 1.0 protocol.
