Set up a Stomp client in android with Spring framework in server side

asked 2 years ago

I am developing an android application that exchanges data with a jetty server configured in
Spring. To obtain a more dynamic android application, i am trying to use WebSocket protocol with viewed 8011 times
7 Stomp messages.
active 21 days ago
In order to realize this stuff, i config a web socket message broker in spring :

Problems occur when i try to use stomp in Android with libraries like gozirra, activemq-stomp or
others : most of time, connection with server doesn't work. My app stop to run and, after a few
minutes, i have the following message in logcat : java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to
resolve host "ws://192.168.1.39/client": No address associated with hostname , and i don't
understand why. Code using Gozzira library which manages the stomp appeal in my android
activity :

private void stomp_test() {

String ip = "ws://192.172.6.39/client";
int port = 8080;

String channel = "/message/add";

Client c;

try {

Log.i("Stomp", "Connection established");
c.subscribe( channel, new Listener() {
public void message( Map header, String message ) {
Log.i("Stomp", "Message received!!!");
}
});

} catch (IOException ex) {

Log.e("Stomp", ex.getMessage());

} catch (LoginException ex) {

Log.e("Stomp", ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e("Stomp", ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
}

After some research, i found that most persons who want to use stomp over websocket with Java
Client use ActiveMQ server, like in this site. But spring tools are very simple to use and it will be
cool if i could keep my server layer as is it now. Someone would know how to use stomp java
(Android) in client side with Spring configuration in server side?

Set up a Stomp client in android with Spring framework in server side - Stack Overflow

7 SpringBoot. Simple example (with retrolambda):

private StompClient mStompClient;

// ...

mStompClient = Stomp.over(WebSocket.class, "ws://localhost:8080/app/hello/websocket");

mStompClient.connect();

mStompClient.topic("/topic/greetings").subscribe(topicMessage -> {
Log.d(TAG, topicMessage.getPayload());
});

mStompClient.send("/app/hello", "My first STOMP message!");

// ...

mStompClient.disconnect();

Add the following classpath in project :

classpath 'me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:3.2.0'

Add the following thing in your app build.gradle :

apply plugin: 'me.tatarka.retrolambda'

android {
.............
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}

dependencies {
............................
compile 'org.java-websocket:Java-WebSocket:1.3.0'
compile 'com.github.NaikSoftware:StompProtocolAndroid:1.1.5'
}

All working asynchronously! You can call connect() after subscribe() and send() , messages
will be pushed to queue.

Additional features:

extra HTTP headers for handshake query (for passing auth token or other)
you can implement own transport for library, just implement interface ConnectionProvider
subscribe connection lifecycle events (connected, closed, error)

I achieve to use stomp over web socket with Android and spring server.

6 To do such a thing, i used a web socket library : werbench (follow this link to download it). To
install, I used the maven command mvn install and i got back the jar in my local repository.
Then, I need to add a stomp layer on the basic web socket one, but i couldn't find any stomp
library in java which could manage stomp over web socket (I had to give up gozzira). So I create
my own one (with stomp.js like model). Don't hesitate to ask me if you want take a look at it, but i
realized it very quickly so it can not manage as much as stomp.js. Then, i need to realize an
authentication with my spring server. To achieve it, i followed the indication of this site. when i get
back the JSESSIONID cookie, I had just need to declare an header with this cookie in the
instantiation of a werbench web socket in my stomp "library".

EDIT : this is the main class in this library, the one which manage the stomp over web socket
connection :

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
import android.util.Log;
import de.roderick.weberknecht.WebSocket;
import de.roderick.weberknecht.WebSocketEventHandler;
import de.roderick.weberknecht.WebSocketMessage;

public class Stomp {

private static final String TAG = Stomp.class.getSimpleName();

public static final int DECONNECTED_FROM_OTHER = 3;//Error, no more internet

*
* @param command

* @param body
*/
public Frame(String command, Map<String, String> headers, String body){
this.command = command;
this.headers = headers != null ? headers : new HashMap<String, String>();
this.body = body != null ? body : "";
}

public String getCommand(){

return command;
}

public Map<String, String> getHeaders(){

return headers;
}

public String getBody(){

return body;
}

This one is an object used to establish a subscription via the stomp protocol :

public class Subscription {

private String id;

private String destination;

private ListenerSubscription callback;

public Subscription(String destination, ListenerSubscription callback){

this.destination = destination;
this.callback = callback;
}

public String getId() {

return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}

public String getDestination() {

return destination;
}

public ListenerSubscription getCallback() {

return callback;
}
}

At least, there are two interfaces used as the "Run" java class, to listen web socket network and a
given subscription canal

public interface ListenerWSNetwork {

public void onState(int state);
}

import java.util.Map;
public interface ListenerSubscription {

Hi, How do you manage to run Spring over Cross domain (mobile devices). I am implementing a solution
using Spring with Sockjs and JWT tokens but Sockjs fallback into iframe because (I think) the client is
running in a different domain. cardeol Apr 5 '16 at 21:15

Perfect solution Eperrin thank you. I would like fill the complete solution e.g. in your
Activity/Service phase you call connection method of course doesn't in MainThread.
1
private void connection() { Map<String,String> headersSetup = new HashMap<String,String>();
Stomp stomp = new Stomp(hostUrl, headersSetup, new ListenerWSNetwork() { @Override public
void onState(int state) { } }); stomp.connect(); stomp.subscribe(new Subscription(testUrl,
new ListenerSubscription() { @Override public void onMessage(Map<String, String> headers,
String body) { } })); }

And be careful in websocket weberknecht library is bug in WebSocketHandshake class in

method verifyServerHandshakeHeaders is on the line 124 is check only
if(!headers.get("Connection").equals("Upgrade")) and when server send upgrade instead of
Upgrade you get error connection failed: missing header field in server handshake: Connection
you have to turn off ignore cases if(!headers.get("Connection").equalsIgnoreCase("Upgrade"))

My server also have path to SEND messages (chat broker). So how can I send something to it with that
solution? udenfox Mar 31 '15 at 15:21

I will try explain solution for AsyncTask the same you can do it in Services. First you have to create
Activity/Fragment, after you call AsyncTask and in phase doInBackground you call my method connection
(in previous answered). And you have to import weberknecht library in your project because you call object
Stomp which exist in this library thos is everything. But be careful your server must support STOMP version

Okay, I got It. Reading code a little bit carefully makes me understand. Thanks! udenfox Mar 31 '15 at
16:47

Don't forget send PING server, default implementation doesn't send PING and you can get EOF after few
doesn't send PING ...it depends implementation on server. horkavlna Nov 4 '15 at 14:42
