NAME

Messaging::Message::Queue::NULL - abstraction of a null message queue

SYNOPSIS

  use Messaging::Message;
  use Messaging::Message::Queue::NULL;

  # create a message queue
  $mq = Messaging::Message::Queue::NULL->new();

  # add a message to the queue
  $msg = Messaging::Message->new(body => "hello world");
  $mq->add_message($msg);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an abstraction of a message queue working a bit like /dev/null: it can be written to but it always appears empty.

METHODS

In addition to the standard Directory::Queue methods, the following methods are available:

new(OPTIONS)

return a new Messaging::Message::Queue::NULL object (class method)

add_message(MESSAGE)

add the given message (a Messaging::Message object) to the queue, this does nothing

get_message(ELEMENT)

get the message from the given element, this generates an error

SEE ALSO

Directory::Queue, Messaging::Message, Messaging::Message::Queue.
