# Sending and Receiving Normal Messages

## Sending normal messages

Normal messages support both synchronous and asynchronous sending. Users can choose as per the use case.

### Synchronous sending

Synchronous sending refers to the client sending a message to the server and waiting for the server to respond before sending the next message.

```java
import org.apache.rocketmq.client.exception.MQClientException;
import org.apache.rocketmq.client.producer.DefaultMQProducer;
import org.apache.rocketmq.client.producer.SendResult;
import org.apache.rocketmq.common.message.Message;
import org.apache.rocketmq.remoting.common.RemotingHelper;
import org.apache.rocketmq.acl.common.AclClientRPCHook;
import org.apache.rocketmq.acl.common.SessionCredentials;
import org.apache.rocketmq.remoting.RPCHook;

public class Producer {
    // Instance access using public and private keys, available on the instance token management page
    private static final String ACCESS_KEY = "xxx";
    private static final String SECRET_KEY = "xxx";

    static RPCHook getAclRPCHook() {
        return new AclClientRPCHook(new SessionCredentials(ACCESS_KEY, SECRET_KEY));
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MQClientException, InterruptedException {

        // "ProducerGroupName" is the production group, users can use the production Group created in the console or customize
        DefaultMQProducer producer = new DefaultMQProducer("ProducerGroupName", getAclRPCHook());
        // Instance access address, can be obtained on the instance list page
        producer.setNamesrvAddr("1.1.1.1:9876");
        producer.start();

        for (int i = 0; i < 128; i++)
            try {
                {
                    Message msg = new Message("Topic_Name",
                        "Message_Tag",
                        "Message_Key",
                        "Message Content Hello World".getBytes(RemotingHelper.DEFAULT_CHARSET));
                    SendResult sendResult = producer.send(msg);
                    System.out.printf("%s%n", sendResult);
                }

            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        producer.shutdown();
    }
}
```

### Asynchronous sending

Asynchronous sending refers to the client sending a message and then sending the next message without waiting for the server to return.

```java
import org.apache.rocketmq.client.exception.MQClientException;
import org.apache.rocketmq.client.producer.DefaultMQProducer;
import org.apache.rocketmq.client.producer.SendCallback;
import org.apache.rocketmq.client.producer.SendResult;
import org.apache.rocketmq.common.message.Message;
import org.apache.rocketmq.remoting.common.RemotingHelper;
import org.apache.rocketmq.acl.common.AclClientRPCHook;
import org.apache.rocketmq.acl.common.SessionCredentials;
import org.apache.rocketmq.remoting.RPCHook;

public class Producer {
    // Instance access using public and private keys, available on the instance token management page
    private static final String ACCESS_KEY = "xxx";
    private static final String SECRET_KEY = "xxx";

    static RPCHook getAclRPCHook() {
        return new AclClientRPCHook(new SessionCredentials(ACCESS_KEY, SECRET_KEY));
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MQClientException, InterruptedException {

        // "ProducerGroupName" is the production group, users can use the production Group created in the console or customize
        DefaultMQProducer producer = new DefaultMQProducer("ProducerGroupName", getAclRPCHook());
        // Instance access address, can be obtained on the instance list page
        producer.setNamesrvAddr("1.1.1.1:9876");
        producer.start();

        for (int i = 0; i < 128; i++)
            try {
                {
                    Message msg = new Message("Topic_Name",
                        "Message_Tag",
                        "Message_Key",
                        "Message Content Hello World".getBytes(RemotingHelper.DEFAULT_CHARSET));
                    producer.send(msg, new SendCallback() {
                        @Override
                        public void onSuccess(SendResult result) {
                            // Send successfully
                            System.out.println("send message success");
                        }

                        @Override
                        public void onException(Throwable throwable) {
                            // Send failed, can be sent again or store this message for compensation
                            System.out.println("send message failed.");
                            throwable.printStackTrace();
                        }
                });
                }

            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        try
        {
            // Delay 2 seconds to stop the producer, needed for testing, can be removed in actual use
            Thread.sleep(2000);
            producer.shutdown();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
```

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, MQClientException {
        // "GROUP_NAME" is the consumer group, can be obtained on the instance Group management page
         DefaultMQPushConsumer consumer = new DefaultMQPushConsumer("GROUP_NAME", getAclRPCHook(), new AllocateMessageQueueAveragely());
        // Instance access address, can be obtained on the instance list page
        consumer.setNamesrvAddr("1.1.1.1:8100");
        consumer.subscribe("Topic_Name", "*");
        consumer.registerMessageListener(new MessageListenerConcurrently() {

            @Override
            public ConsumeConcurrentlyStatus consumeMessage(List<MessageExt> msgs, ConsumeConcurrentlyContext context) {
                System.out.printf("%s Receive New Messages: %s %n", Thread.currentThread().getName(), msgs);
                return ConsumeConcurrentlyStatus.CONSUME_SUCCESS;
            }
        });
        consumer.start();
        System.out.printf("Consumer Started.%n");
    }
}
