Spring RabbitMQ

Since Camel 3.8

Both producer and consumer are supported

The Spring RabbitMQ component allows you to produce and consume messages from RabbitMQ instances. Using the Spring RabbitMQ client.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-spring-rabbitmq</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI format

spring-rabbitmq:exchangeName?[options]

The exchange name determines the exchange to which the produced messages will be sent to. In the case of consumers, the exchange name determines the exchange the queue will be bound to.

Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level

  • endpoint level

Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level.

For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth.

Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.

  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).

  • directly in the Java code.

Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.

  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.

  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

Component Options

The Spring RabbitMQ component supports 31 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

amqpAdmin (common)

Autowired Optional AMQP Admin service to use for auto declaring elements (queues, exchanges, bindings).

AmqpAdmin

connectionFactory (common)

Autowired The connection factory to be use. A connection factory must be configured either on the component or endpoint.

ConnectionFactory

testConnectionOnStartup (common)

Specifies whether to test the connection on startup. This ensures that when Camel starts that all the JMS consumers have a valid connection to the JMS broker. If a connection cannot be granted then Camel throws an exception on startup. This ensures that Camel is not started with failed connections. The JMS producers is tested as well.

false

boolean

autoDeclare (consumer)

Specifies whether the consumer should auto declare binding between exchange, queue and routing key when starting. Enabling this can be good for development to make it easy to standup exchanges, queues and bindings on the broker.

true

boolean

autoStartup (consumer)

Specifies whether the consumer container should auto-startup.

true

boolean

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

boolean

deadLetterExchange (consumer)

The name of the dead letter exchange.

String

deadLetterExchangeType (consumer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

replyTimeout (producer)

Specify the timeout in milliseconds to be used when waiting for a reply message when doing request/reply messaging. The default value is 5 seconds. A negative value indicates an indefinite timeout.

5000

Path Parameters (1 parameters)

Name Description Default Type

exchangeName (common)

Required The exchange name determines the exchange to which the produced messages will be sent to. In the case of consumers, the exchange name determines the exchange the queue will be bound to. Note: to use default exchange then do not use empty name, but use default instead.

String

Query Parameters (38 parameters)

Name Description Default Type

connectionFactory (common)

The connection factory to be use. A connection factory must be configured either on the component or endpoint.

ConnectionFactory

deadLetterExchange (common)

The name of the dead letter exchange.

String

deadLetterExchangeType (common)

The type of the dead letter exchange.

Enum values:

  • direct

  • fanout

  • headers

  • topic

direct

String

deadLetterQueue (common)

The name of the dead letter queue.

String

deadLetterRoutingKey (common)

The routing key for the dead letter exchange.

String

disableReplyTo (common)

Specifies whether Camel ignores the ReplyTo header in messages. If true, Camel does not send a reply back to the destination specified in the ReplyTo header. You can use this option if you want Camel to consume from a route and you do not want Camel to automatically send back a reply message because another component in your code handles the reply message. You can also use this option if you want to use Camel as a proxy between different message brokers and you want to route message from one system to another.

false

boolean

queues (common)

The queue(s) to use for consuming or producing messages. Multiple queue names can be separated by comma. If none has been configured then Camel will generate an unique id as the queue name.

String

routingKey (common)

The value of a routing key to use. Default is empty which is not helpful when using the default (or any direct) exchange, but fine if the exchange is a headers exchange for instance.

String

testConnectionOnStartup (common)

Specifies whether to test the connection on startup. This ensures that when Camel starts that all the JMS consumers have a valid connection to the JMS broker. If a connection cannot be granted then Camel throws an exception on startup. This ensures that Camel is not started with failed connections. The JMS producers is tested as well.

false

boolean

acknowledgeMode (consumer)

Flag controlling the behaviour of the container with respect to message acknowledgement. The most common usage is to let the container handle the acknowledgements (so the listener doesn’t need to know about the channel or the message). Set to AcknowledgeMode.MANUAL if the listener will send the acknowledgements itself using Channel.basicAck(long, boolean). Manual acks are consistent with either a transactional or non-transactional channel, but if you are doing no other work on the channel at the same other than receiving a single message then the transaction is probably unnecessary. Set to AcknowledgeMode.NONE to tell the broker not to expect any acknowledgements, and it will assume all messages are acknowledged as soon as they are sent (this is autoack in native Rabbit broker terms). If AcknowledgeMode.NONE then the channel cannot be transactional (so the container will fail on start up if that flag is accidentally set).

Enum values:

  • NONE

  • MANUAL

  • AUTO

AcknowledgeMode

asyncConsumer (consumer)

Whether the consumer processes the Exchange asynchronously. If enabled then the consumer may pickup the next message from the queue, while the previous message is being processed asynchronously (by the Asynchronous Routing Engine). This means that messages may be processed not 100% strictly in order. If disabled (as default) then the Exchange is fully processed before the consumer will pickup the next message from the queue.

Specifies whether the consumer should auto declare binding between exchange, queue and routing key when starting.

true

boolean

autoStartup (consumer)

Specifies whether the consumer container should auto-startup.

Using a connection factory

To connect to RabbitMQ, you need to set up a ConnectionFactory (same as with JMS) with the login details such as:

It is recommended to use CachingConnectionFactory from spring-rabbit as it comes with connection pooling out of the box. 
<bean id="rabbitConnectionFactory" class="org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.connection.CachingConnectionFactory">
  <property name="uri" value="amqp://localhost:5672"/>
</bean>

The ConnectionFactory is auto-detected by default, so you can do:

<camelContext>
  <route>
    <from uri="direct:cheese"/>
    <to uri="spring-rabbitmq:foo?routingKey=cheese"/>
  </route>
</camelContext>

Default Exchange Name

To use default exchange name (which would be an empty exchange name in RabbitMQ) then you should use default as name in the endpoint uri, such as:

to("spring-rabbitmq:default?routingKey=foo")

Auto declare exchanges, queues and bindings

Before you can send or receive messages from RabbitMQ, then exchanges, queues and bindings must be setup first.

In development mode, it may be desirable to let Camel automatic do this. You can enable this by setting autoDeclare=true on the SpringRabbitMQComponent.

Then Spring RabbitMQ will automatically declare the necessary elements and set up the binding between the exchange, queue and routing keys.

The elements can be configured using the multivalued args option.

For example, to specify the queue as durable and exclusive, you can configure the endpoint uri with arg.queue.durable=true&arg.queue.exclusive=true.

Exchanges

Option Type Description Default

autoDelete

boolean

True if the server should delete the exchange when it is no longer in use (if all bindings are deleted).

false

durable

boolean

A durable exchange will survive a server restart.

true

You can also configure any additional x- arguments. See details in the RabbitMQ documentation.

Queues

Option Type Description Default

autoDelete

boolean

True if the server should delete the exchange when it is no longer in use (if all bindings are deleted).

false

durable

boolean

A durable queue will survive a server restart.

false

exclusive

boolean

Whether the queue is exclusive

false

x-dead-letter-exchange

String

The name of the dead letter exchange. If none configured, then the component configured value is used.

x-dead-letter-routing-key

String

The routing key for the dead letter exchange. If none configured, then the component configured value is used.

You can also configure any additional x- arguments, such as the message time to live, via x-message-ttl, and many others. See details in the RabbitMQ documentation.

Mapping from Camel to RabbitMQ

The message body is mapped from Camel Message body to a byte[] which is the type that RabbitMQ uses for message body. Camel will use its type converter to convert the message body to a byte array.

Spring Rabbit comes out of the box with support for mapping Java serialized objects, but Camel Spring RabbitMQ does not support this due to security vulnerabilities and using Java objects is a bad design as it enforces strong coupling.

Custom message headers are mapped from Camel Message headers to RabbitMQ headers. This behaviour can be customized by configuring a new implementation of HeaderFilterStrategy on the Camel component.

Request / Reply

Request and reply messaging is supported using RabbitMQ direct reply-to.

The example below will do request/reply, where the message is sent via the cheese exchange name and routing key foo.bar, which is being consumed by the second Camel route, that prepends the message with `Hello `, and then sends back the message.

So if we send World as message body to direct:start then, we will se the message being logged

  • log:request → World

  • log:input → World

  • log:response → Hello World

from("direct:start")
    .to("log:request")
    .to(ExchangePattern.InOut, "spring-rabbitmq:cheese?routingKey=foo.bar")
    .to("log:response");

from("spring-rabbitmq:cheese?queues=myqueue&routingKey=foo.bar")
    .to("log:input")
    .transform(body().prepend("Hello "));

Reuse endpoint and send to different destinations computed at runtime

If you need to send messages to a lot of different RabbitMQ exchanges, it makes sense to reuse an endpoint and specify the real destination in a message header. This allows Camel to reuse the same endpoint, but send to different exchanges. This greatly reduces the number of endpoints created and economizes on memory and thread resources.

Using toD is easier than specifying the dynamic destination with headers

You can specify using the following headers:

Header Type Description

CamelSpringRabbitmqExchangeOverrideName

String

The exchange name.

CamelSpringRabbitmqRoutingOverrideKey

String

The routing key.

For example, the following route shows how you can compute a destination at run time and use it to override the exchange appearing in the endpoint URL:

from("file://inbox")
  .to("bean:computeDestination")
  .to("spring-rabbitmq:dummy");

The exchange name, dummy, is just a placeholder. It must be provided as part of the RabbitMQ endpoint URL, but it will be ignored in this example.

In the computeDestination bean, specify the real destination by setting the CamelRabbitmqExchangeOverrideName header as follows:

public void setExchangeHeader(Exchange exchange) {
   String region = ....
   exchange.getIn().setHeader("CamelSpringRabbitmqExchangeOverrideName", "order-" + region);
}

Then Camel will read this header and use it as the exchange name instead of the one configured on the endpoint. So, in this example Camel sends the message to spring-rabbitmq:order-emea, assuming the region value was emea.

Keep in mind that the producer removes both CamelSpringRabbitmqExchangeOverrideName and CamelSpringRabbitmqRoutingOverrideKey headers from the exchange and do not propagate them to the created Rabbitmq message to avoid the accidental loops in the routes (in scenarios when the message will be forwarded to another RabbitMQ endpoint).

Using toD

If you need to send messages to a lot of different exchanges, it makes sense to reuse an endpoint and specify the dynamic destinations with simple language using toD.

For example, suppose you need to send messages to exchanges with order types, then using toD could, for example, be done as follows:

from("direct:order")
  .toD("spring-rabbit:order-${header.orderType}");

Manual Acknowledgement

If we need to manually acknowledge a message for some use case, we can do it by setting and acknowledgeMode to Manual and using the below snippet of code to get Channel and deliveryTag to manually acknowledge the message:

from("spring-rabbitmq:%s?queues=%s&acknowledgeMode=MANUAL")
    .process(exchange -> {
        Channel channel = exchange.getProperty(SpringRabbitMQConstants.CHANNEL, Channel.class);
        long deliveryTag = exchange.getMessage().getHeader(SpringRabbitMQConstants.DELIVERY_TAG, long.class);
        channel.basicAck(deliveryTag, false);
    })

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using spring-rabbitmq with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-spring-rabbitmq-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The component supports 32 options, which are listed below.
