RE: [xmlblaster] Subscriber getting first message only

["David Hooker" <dhooker at btrade.com>]

It looks like it's my subscriber.  I have two different ones... an EXACT
subscriber, and an XPATH subscriber.

The XPATH subscriber gets all message updates.  The EXACT subscriber
only gets the first update.  The code for each is identical:

            SubscribeKey skey = new SubscribeKey(global, subscribeOID,
"EXACT");
            SubscribeQos sqos = new SubscribeQos(global);
            sqos.setWantInitialUpdate(false);
            sqos.setWantLocal(false);
            conn.subscribe(skey, sqos, this);

Except one has "EXACT" and one has "XPATH".  Why do the different
subscribers behave differently?

Hi again David,
Ok, now I see. The problem is that you published messages with the same 
oid and changed the key of the message. The behaviour you got is normal.

The key of a message is supposed to be immutable:

When you first publish a message, a topic is created for it with the 
given oid, the key of that topic is parsed and put into the BigDomTree.
Subsequent publishes on that topic (on that oid) will not parse the key 
anymore (the performance impact would be prohibitive) and the key is 
considered to be constant. Of course it is a little confusing that you 
did not get an exception when publishing with a new key. In fact you 
even will get the new PublishKey on the update method (and this 
extravagant side effect has been positively used by some of the 
xmlBlaster users).

What I still don't understand however is that you should have received 
an update for all three messages (provided you subscribed before the 
publishes).

Saluti
Michele
