ColdFusion and Amazon SQS

Overview

Message queues allow different components of a system to asynchronously communicate between the various components. A message queue provides a buffer that stores messages temporarily and provides endpoints for the components to connect to the queue and send messages. The message can be requests, replies, or error messages.

A message is usually stored in the queue until another service consumes the message and performs some operation.

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a queueing service that stores messages that applications or microservices use. Amazon SQS help decouple system components, reduce dependencies, and provides scalability. The reason behind decoupling components is to build the system such that if any single component of the system were to become unresponsive for some reason, the other components would continue to work as usual.

SQS provides an implementation of message queuing software in the cloud. It provides a distributed system for passing messages between computers and application components. Message queues also provide a manner in which systems and components within systems can remain independent and autonomous.

With SQS, the system components use queue buffers to send messages to one another. These queues allow the components to communicate asynchronously, to support concurrency, to remain highly available, and to better handle load and spikes. 

Get started

Install awssqs package

Adobe ColdFusion (2021 release) is modularized, if you are only using the ZIP installer. By default, the module for AWS SQS is not installed. The first step is to install the SQS package in ColdFusion.

Note: If you are using the GUI installer, the packages are pre-installed.

The package for SQS is called awssqs.

To install the package awssqs, use the Package Manager page in the ColdFusion Administrator, or follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to <CF_HOME>/cfusion/bin.

  2. Enter the command:

    • Windows: cfpm.bat
    • Linux: cfpm.sh
  3. Enter the command, install awssqs.

    Wait for the AWS SQS package to get installed.

For more information, see ColdFusion Package Manager.

Get credentials to access AWS SQS

When you interact with AWS, you specify your AWS security credentials to verify your credentials and check whether you have permission to access the resources that you are requesting.

AWS uses the security credentials to authenticate and authorize your requests.

You must get the AWS Access Key ID and the AWS Secret Access Key. For more information, see Access Keys.

Add cloud service credentials and configuration

In ColdFusion (2021 release), there is a method getCloudService() that gives you a handle to create objects for accessing various cloud services.

The syntax of the service handle is as follows:

service=getCloudService(cloudCred,cloudConfig), where:

  • cloudCred: Defines the credentials for the cloud service. It could either be a struct or a string (also known as credential alias).
  • cloudConfig: Defines the cloud service configuration details. It could either be a struct or a string (also known as config alias).

After you've acquired the AWS credentials, you must declare these credentials in one of the following ways. Only then you can use these credentials to create a SQS object, after which you can use the object to make calls to the various SQS methods.

ColdFusion Administrator

Set credentials

In the ColdFusion Administrator, click Data & Services > Cloud Credentials

An alias is a named representation of a cloud service and its configuration details. You can set the config alias through ColdFusion Administrator.

Add cloud credentials
Add cloud credentials

After entering the details, click Add Credential.

Set configuration options

In the ColdFusion Administrator, click Data & Services > Cloud Configuration

Enter the following details, like configuration Alias, Vendor, and the name of the service.

Add cloud configuration
Add cloud configuration options

After adding the configuration options, you may need to add a few more options. You can do so in the next screen. The following are a few options that you may need to add:

  • Request config
  • Client config
  • Proxy settings
  • Retry policy
  • Retry conditions

For more information, see Cloud configuration options.

Create the object

Once you've created the aliases for SQS credential and configuration options, you can create the object by using the getCloudService API, and include the following in your CFM. 

sqsObject= getCloudService("sqsCred", "sqsConf")

Application.cfc

You can specify the SQS credentials and configuration options in Application.cfc. For example,

component 
{  
    this.name="AWS_STD_Queue"; 
    void function onApplicationStart(){ 
        application.awsCred  = { 
                                "alias" : "aws_std_queue", 
                                "vendorName" : "AWS", 
                                "region" : "us-east-1", 
                                "secretAccessKey" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", 
                                "accessKeyId" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" 
                             } 
             
        application.snsConf  = { 
                                "serviceName" : "SNS" 
                             } 
 
        application.sqsConf ={ 
                                 "serviceName" : "SQS" 
                             }         
 
    } 
}

Create the object

sqsObject = getCloudService(application.awsCred, application.sqsConf)

On CFM page

On a CFM page, you can specify the SQS credentials and configuration options in one of the four methods, specified below:

Credential alias and configuration alias

After you've created the aliases for SQS credential and configuration options, you can use these aliases in the getCloudService
handle as shown below:

<cfscript> 
  // define the credential and the configuration aliases in the ColdFusion Admin 
  sqs=getCloudService("awsCred","sqsConf") 
  // code below. 
  ........... 
</cfscript>

Credential Alias and Struct for configuration options

<cfscript> 
    // Using credential alias and struct for service config 
    sqsConf = { 
            "alias":"sqsConf", 
            "serviceName" : "SQS", 
            "clientOverrideConfig":{ 
                "retryPolicy":{ 
                  "numRetries":4 
                } 
            }, 
            "httpClientConfig":{ 
                "maxConnections":50 
            } 
  
    } 
    sqs= getCloudService("sqsCred", sqsConf) 
  
    // code below 
    ..................... 
</cfscript>

Configuration alias and struct for credentials

<cfscript> 
    // Using config alias and struct for service credentials 
    // sqs credentials 
    sqsCreds={ 
      "vendorName":"AWS", 
      "alias": "sqsCred", 
      "region":"us-east-2", 
      "accessKeyId": "access key", 
      "secretAccessKey": "secret access" 
    } 
    sqs= getCloudService(sqsCreds, "sqsConf") 
    // code below 
    ..................................... 
</cfscript>

Structs for both credential and configuration options

<cfscript> 
  // Using Structs for both cloud credential and config 
  sqsCred={ 
    "vendorName":"AWS", 
    "alias": "sqs_cred_alias", 
    "region":"us-east-2", 
    "accessKeyId": "access key", 
    "secretAccessKey": "secret access key" 
  } 
  
  sqsConf = { 
          "alias":"sqs_conf_alias", 
          "serviceName" : "SQS", 
          "clientOverrideConfig":{ 
              "retryPolicy":{ 
                "numRetries":4 
              } 
          }, 
          "httpClientConfig":{ 
              "maxConnections":50 
          } 
  
  } 
  sqs = getCloudService(sqsCred, sqsConf ) 
  
  // code below 
  ................................................................... 
</cfscript>

Admin API

You can also add SQS credentials and configuration options by using the Admin APIs. The methods to add credentials and configuration are available in cloud.cfc.

The examples below demonstrate the usage of the methods addCredential(struct credential) and addServiceConfig(struct config).

Add credentials

<cfscript> 
  // Create an object of administrator component and call the login method 
  adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator") 
  adminObj.login("admin") 
  
  // Create an object of cloud component 
  cloudObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.cloud") 
  
  // define credentials struct 
  credentialStruct={ 
    "alias" : "CredSQS", 
    "vendorName" : "AWS", 
    "region" : "us-east-2", 
    "secretAccessKey" : "secret access key", 
    "accessKeyId" : "access key" 
  }

  // Create an object of administrator component and call the login method 
  adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator") 
  adminObj.login("admin") 
  
  // Create an object of cloud component 
  cloudObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.cloud") 
  
  // define configuration struct 
  configStruct={ 
      "alias":"ConfSQS", 
      "serviceName":"SQS", 
      "clientOverrideConfig":{ 
          "retryPolicy":{ 
              "numRetries":4 
          } 
      }, 
      "httpClientConfig":{ 
          "maxConnections":50

Create a queue

This function creates a standard or a FIFO queue. While creating a queue, you must ensure the following:

  • If you do not specify the attribute FifoQueue, Amazon SQS creates a standard queue.
  • If you want to create a FIFO queue, you must use the convention, <QueueName>.fifo.
  • While creating a queue, if you do not provide a value for an attribute, the default values of the attribute are used to create the queue.

For more information, see CreateQueue.

Syntax

Create a queue with SSE

Create a queue and enable Server-Side Encryption (SSE). SSE works with both standard and FIFO queues.

For better encryption, you can use the following:

  • Customer Master Key (CMK) ID: Key to encrypt the contents of the messages in SQS. For more information, see Data keys in SQS.
  • Customer Data Key Reuse Period: The time, in seconds, for which SQS reuses the data key to encrypt or decrypt messages. The value can be between 60-86400. For more information, see Understanding the Data Key Reuse Period.

Example

<cfscript> 
 sqs = getCloudService(application.awsCred, application.sqsConf); 
  
 //Use the sqs service object to create a queue using createQueue(). This method returns a queue object. 
 myQueue = sqs.createQueue("QueueWithSSE");  
 
 setQueueAttributesMetadata = {                                
  "attributes"={ 
     "KmsMasterKeyId"="arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:xxxxxxxxxxx:key/xxxxxxxxxxxx", 
     "KmsDataKeyReusePeriodSeconds"="120" 
     } 
 }; 
 setQueueAttributesResponse = myQueue.setAttributes(setQueueAttributesMetadata);

List Dead Letter Source Queues

In SQS, using a dead letter queue, you can automatically transfer messages, that have exceeded the maximum number of receiving messages, to the dead letter queue.

Also a dead letter queue stores messages when the queue does not exist or the queue or message length have exceeded a set value.

In a nutshell, a dead letter queue handles failed messages so that you can letter debug a faulty message.

You can set a redrive policy on a queue where you can define that if a message is not successfully processed by a consumer within a specified number of times, SQS will send that message to a dead letter queue.

For more information, see Amazon dead letter queues.

The listDeadLetterSourceQueues API returns a list of your queues that have the RedrivePolicy attribute configured with a dead-letter queue.

For more information, see ListDeadLetterSourceQueues.

Syntax

listDeadLetterSourceQueues(queueUrl)

Parameters

Parameter

Description

Type

Required

queueURL

The URL of a dead-letter queue.

String

Yes

For more information, see request parameters.

Example

<cfscript> 
        sqs = getCloudService(application.awsCred, application.sqsConf); 
  setQueueAttributesMetadata = { 
   "attributes"={ 
   "FifoQueue" : "true" 
   } 
        } 
        // create FIFO queues 
  myQueue = sqs.createQueue("FIFOQueue4DL.fifo",setQueueAttributesMetadata);  
  deadLetterQueue = sqs.createQueue("dead_Letter_Queue.fifo",setQueueAttributesMetadata);   
  queueUrl = myQueue.getQueueUrl(); 
  getQueueAttributesMetadata = {"attributeNames":["All"]}; 
 
  deadLetterQueueARN = deadLetterQueue.getAttributes(#getQueueAttributesMetadata#).attributes["QueueArn"]; 
  redrivePolicy = { 
   "maxReceiveCount" = 2, 
   "deadLetterTargetArn" = "#deadLetterQueueARN#" 
  } 
  setQueueAttributesMetadata = { 
   "attributes"={ 
   "RedrivePolicy" = "#serializeJson(redrivePolicy)#" 
      } 
  }; 
  setQueueAttributesResponse = myQueue.setAttributes(setQueueAttributesMetadata);  
  getQueueAttributesMetadata = {"attributeNames"=["All"]}; 
  getQueueAttributesResponse = myQueue.getAttributes(getQueueAttributesMetadata); 
  redrivePolicyVal= #deserializeJson(getQueueAttributesResponse.attributes["RedrivePolicy"])#; 
  writeoutput(#redrivePolicyVal.deadLetterTargetArn#); 
</cfscript>

Configure Long Polling with Queue

SQS is a poll-based service, where applications poll messages from SQS queue. If you poll your SQS queue and it returns an empty response, you are still charged. The default polling for SQS is short polling, where the response is sent without any wait time even if the queue is empty or updated with new messages.

Long polling eliminates the number of empty responses and false empty responses, when messages are available, but aren’t included in a response.

For more information, see Long polling for SQS.

<cfscript> 
  sqs = getCloudService(application.awsCred, application.sqsConf);  
   
  myQueue = sqs.createQueue("longPolling");   
  writeoutput(myQueue.getQueueUrl()); 
  queueUrl = myQueue.getQueueUrl(); 
   
  setQueueAttributesMetadata = { 
   "attributes"={ 
   "ReceiveMessageWaitTimeSeconds"="20" 
   } 
  }; 
  setQueueAttributesResponse = myQueue.setAttributes(setQueueAttributesMetadata);  
 
  longPollingVal=myQueue.getAttributes({"attributeNames"=["ReceiveMessageWaitTimeSeconds"]}); 
  writeoutput(longPollingVal.attributes["ReceiveMessageWaitTimeSeconds"]); 
   
 </cfscript>
