LAKEsuperior Messaging
======================

LAKEsuperior implements a messaging system based on ActivityStreams, as
indicated by the `Feodra API
specs <https://fedora.info/2017/06/30/spec/#notifications>`__. The
metadata set provided is currently quite minimal but can be easily
enriched by extending the `default formatter
class <https://github.com/scossu/lakesuperior/blob/master/lakesuperior/messaging/messenger.py>`__.

STOMP is the only supported protocol at the moment. More protocols may
be made available at a later time.

LAKEsuperior can send messages to any number of destinations: see
`configuration <https://github.com/scossu/lakesuperior/blob/master/etc.defaults/application.yml#L79>`__.
By default, CoilMQ is provided for testing purposes and listens to
``localhost:61613``. The default route sends messages to
``/topic/fcrepo``.

A small command-line utility, also provided with the Python
dependencies, allows to watch incoming messages. To monitor messages,
enter the following *after activating your virtualenv*:

::

    stomp -H localhost -P 61613 -L /topic/fcrepo
