Description of problem: Message id is internally converted to the uuid even if uuid format is given, which leads to inconsistent message id between sent and received message. Note: C++ and other supported clients do not suffer from that. Reproducer may be found in attachment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): for mrg-m-2.5.5: python-qpid-0.18-13 qpid-cpp-*-0.18-35 for mrg-m-3.0: python-qpid-0.22-18 qpid-cpp-*-0.22-49 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run the reproducer 2. realize that the id of message sent is different from id of message received ie: sendt message id: 708de8fc-4f30-4603-8ae4-29b1565adff6 received message id: 37303864-6538-6663-2d34-6633302d3436 Actual results: Inconsistent message id on sent/received message Expected results: Consistent message id on sent/received message Additional info: #!/usr/bin/env python from qpid.messaging import * from uuid import uuid4 addr = "queue;{create:sender,delete:receiver}" conn = Connection('localhost') try: conn.open() ssn = conn.session() snd = ssn.sender(addr) rcv = ssn.receiver(addr) s_msg = Message() s_msg.id = str(uuid4()) snd.send(s_msg) r_msg = rcv.fetch(0) print "sent message id: %s" % s_msg.id print "received message id: %s" % r_msg.id ssn.acknowledge() except MessagingError, e: print e conn.close()
