Messages listener instability.

[eys]

Dear Community!

If windows service (which contains listener) doesn't have access rights to queue, Spring.NET listener crushes application after some time (Windows even prepares crush report).

Service Code is simple:

public partial class DispatcherServiceHost : ServiceBase
{

#region Private fields

private TransactionalMessageListenerContainer listener;

#endregion

public DispatcherServiceHost()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
var applicationContext = ContextRegistry.GetContext();
ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider
(
() =>
new SpringServiceLocatorAdapter(applicationContext)
);

listener =
ServiceLocator.Current.
GetInstance<TransactionalMessageListenerContainer> ("transactionalMessageListenerContainer");

listener.Start();
}

protected override void OnStop()
{
if (listener.Running)
{
listener.Stop();
}
}

Configuration:

<object id="IntegrationQueue" type="Spring.Messaging.Support.MessageQueueFactory Object, Spring.Messaging">
<property name="Path" value=".\Private$\X.Integration.IVR.Queue"/>
<property name="MessageReadPropertyFilterSetAll" value="true"/>
</object>

<object id="IntegrationDeadQueue" type="Spring.Messaging.Support.MessageQueueFactory Object, Spring.Messaging">
<property name="Path" value=".\Private$\X.Integration.IVR.DeadQueue"/>
<property name="MessageReadPropertyFilterSetAll" value="true"/>
</object>

<!-- MSMQ Transaction Manager -->
<object id="messageQueueTransactionManager" type="Spring.Messaging.Core.MessageQueueTransactio nManager, Spring.Messaging"/>

<!-- Message Listener Container that uses MSMQ transactional for receives -->
<object id="transactionalMessageListenerContainer" type="Spring.Messaging.Listener.TransactionalMessa geListenerContainer, Spring.Messaging">
<!-- to increase the number of threads use the MaxConcurrentListeners property -->
<property name="AutoStartup" value="false"/>
<property name="MaxConcurrentListeners" value="10"/>
<property name="MessageQueueObjectName" value="IntegrationQueue"/>
<property name="PlatformTransactionManager" ref="messageQueueTransactionManager"/>
<property name="MessageListener" ref="messageListenerAdapter"/>
<property name="MessageTransactionExceptionHandler" ref="sendToQueueExceptionHandler"/>
</object>

<!-- Delegate to plain .NET object for message handling -->
<object id="messageListenerAdapter" type="Spring.Messaging.Listener.MessageListenerAda pter, Spring.Messaging">
<property name="HandlerObject" ref="DispatcherHandler"/>
<property name="DefaultHandlerMethod" value="Handle"/>
<property name="MessageConverterObjectName" value="xmlMessageConverter"/>
</object>

<object id="sendToQueueExceptionHandler" type="Spring.Messaging.Listener.SendToQueueExcepti onHandler, Spring.Messaging">
<property name="MessageQueueObjectName" value="IntegrationDeadQueue"/>
</object>

Does anyone encountered something similiar?

If you dont have access to read/write on Queue, you need to configure one of two sides:

1) Configure your Service to use an account with privileges to Read/Write on ".\Private$\X.Integration.IVR.Queue"
2) Configure your Queue to accept Read/Write from your service account.

Anyway you will have problems with the method Stop of your TransactionalMessageListenerContainer if there running. In many cases I had to use brute force to kill the process, programmatically.
