RightAws::Sqs — RightScale‘s Amazon SQS interface

The RightAws::Sqs class provides a complete interface to Amazon‘s Simple Queue Service. For explanations of the semantics of each call, please refer to Amazon‘s documentation at developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=31

Error handling: all operations raise an RightAws::AwsError in case of problems. Note that transient errors are automatically retried.

 sqs    = RightAws::Sqs.new(aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key)
 queue1 = sqs.queue('my_awesome_queue')
  ...
 queue2 = RightAws::Sqs::Queue.create(sqs, 'my_cool_queue', true)
 puts queue2.size
  ...
 message1 = queue2.receive
 message1.visibility = 0
 puts message1
  ...
 queue2.clear(true)
 queue2.send_message('Ola-la!')
 message2 = queue2.pop
  ...
 grantee1 = RightAws::Sqs::Grantee.create(queue2,'one_cool_guy@email.address')
 grantee1.grant('FULLCONTROL')
 grantee1.drop
  ...
 grantee2 = queue.grantees('another_cool_guy@email.address')
 grantee2.revoke('SENDMESSAGE')
