问题
I have a web application that uses the jquery autocomplete plugin, which essentially sends via ajax a request containing text that has been typed into a textbox to our web server, once the web server receives this request, it is then handed off to rabbitmq.
I know that we do get benefits from using messaging, but it seems like using it for blocking rpc calls is a misuse and that something like WCF is far more appropriate in this instance, is this the case or is it considered acceptable architecture?
回答1:
It's possible to perform RPC synchronous requests with RabbitMQ. Here it's explained very well, with its drawback included! So it's considered an acceptable architecture. Discouraged, but acceptable whenever the synchronous response is mandatory.
As a possible counter-effect is that adding RabbitMQ in the middle, you will add some latency to the solution.
However you have the possibility to gain in terms of reliability, flexibility, scalability,...
回答2:
What benefit would you get from it? And in fairness if you put the message in the queue how is is synchronous? unless the same process that placed the message in the queue is the one removing it, but that is pretty much useless no?
Now, if all you want to do is place the message in the queue and process it later on is grand. Also the fact that you had WCF to the mixture is IMHO a symptom that something is perhaps not clear enough. You could use WCF as an API gateway and use it to write the message to the queue so this is not really about WCF or Queues, but more like sync vs async.
The way you are putting your ideas, does not look alright to me.
