EMAJ: How to keep a long connection in OMMConsumer like 7x24

loy.longyi

As subject, my application need to continuously retrieve price from TREP for 7x24.
By referring the reply in a similar question, I tried using Channel and specifying ConnectionPingTimeout, but seems doesn't work, the session still end once after receiving price.

I can't find any similar case in official sample also.

Should I use dead loop or long time thread sleep after registerClient() to keep the connection alive?

Any code or sample for my refer?

Much appreciated for any suggestion!

Hi @loy.longyi,

An EMA Java consumer application can be as long running, as you prefer, and only exit on specific criteria or condition specified by you, such as requested exit.

I suspect that you are asking, because our example consumers that come with Elektron SDK are targeted to 1 minute runs.

The do so by exiting from the main thread, 1 minute after the initial registration similar to this:

 consumer.registerClient(reqMsg.serviceName("ELEKTRON_EDGE").name("IBM.N"), appClient);
 Thread.sleep(60000);

if this is right, you can keep the main thread going any way that is consistent with your requirements, for example

consumer.registerClient(reqMsg.serviceName("ELEKTRON_EDGE").name("IBM.N"), appClient);
while (no_stop_requested == true)
    Thread.sleep(1000)

Please let us know, if this helps, or you are asking about something different, in which case, please be more descriptive on what session end you are referring to?
