Azure Service Bus is an asynchronous messaging cloud platform that enables you to send and receive messages between decoupled systems. Microsoft offers this feature as a service, which means that you do not need to host any of your own hardware in order to use it.

Known issues
Java client 1.0.0
There where a set of problems with message locks getting lost and then causing issues in message processing. Those issues are addressed in version 1.1.0.
Java client 1.1.0
If you send messages from a client any other than the Java client itself in any other format than a stream you may not be able to receive the message body content. So if you are using multiple clients make sure you send and receive stream data. We are working on fixing this currently and evaluating releasing a version 1.1.1 which should contain this fix as soon as possible. If you send and receive with the Jave client you should not experience this issue.
FAQ
Where is the API document?
Click here.
Where can I find examples that use this library?
The samples are located in this repo. Java Samples.
Can I manage Service Bus entities with this library?
Yes, this client library now has the management functionality built into it. This is made available through the ManagementClient which now enables create, read(exists), update and delete Queues, Topics, Subscriptions, Rules.
How do I run the unit tests?
Tests are simple JUnit tests. They can be run from the command line or any IDE that supports running JUnit tests. Only prerequisite to running tests is setting an environment variable named 'AZURESERVICEBUSCONNECTION_STRING' to the connection string of the namespace in which the tests will create entities. The tests create entities in the namespace and run tests and delete the created entities. And test classes also have methods to specify whether to create entities per test or once for all tests in a suite. Creating entities per test is better as it keeps test independent of each other.
To use a proxy for unit tests, set an environment variable RUN_WITH_PROXY to true. Then set the environment variables PROXY_HOSTNAME and PROXY_PORT to your values.
