RabbitMQ

Since Camel 2.12

Both producer and consumer are supported

The RabbitMQ component allows you to produce and consume messages from RabbitMQ instances. Using the RabbitMQ AMQP client, this component offers a pure RabbitMQ approach over the generic AMQP component.

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

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

URI format

The old syntax is deprecated:

rabbitmq://hostname[:port]/exchangeName?[options]

Where hostname is the hostname of the running rabbitmq instance or cluster. Port is optional and if not specified then defaults to the RabbitMQ client default (5672).

Instead the hostname and port is configured on the component level, or can be provided as uri query parameters instead.

The new syntax is:

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.

Options

The RabbitMQ component supports 53 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

addresses (common)

If this option is set, camel-rabbitmq will try to create connection based on the setting of option addresses. The addresses value is a string which looks like server1:12345, server2:12345

String

autoDelete (common)

If it is true, the exchange will be deleted when it is no longer in use

true

boolean

connectionFactory (common)

To use a custom RabbitMQ connection factory. When this option is set, all connection options (connectionTimeout, requestedChannelMax…​) set on URI are not used

ConnectionFactory

deadLetterExchange (common)

The name of the dead letter exchange

String

deadLetterExchangeType (common)

The type of the dead letter exchange. The value can be one of: 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

declare (common)

If the option is true, camel declare the exchange and queue name and bind them together. If the option is false, camel won’t declare the exchange and queue name on the server.

true

boolean

durable (common)

If we are declaring a durable exchange (the exchange will survive a server restart)

true

boolean

exclusive (common)

Exclusive queues may only be accessed by the current connection, and are deleted when that connection closes.

false

boolean

hostname (common)

The hostname of the running RabbitMQ instance or cluster.

String

passive (common)

Passive queues depend on the queue already to be available at RabbitMQ.

false

boolean

portNumber (common)

Port number for the host with the running rabbitmq instance or cluster.

5672

int

skipExchangeDeclare (common)

This can be used if we need to declare the queue but not the exchange

false

boolean

skipQueueBind (common)

If true the queue will not be bound to the exchange after declaring it

false

boolean

skipQueueDeclare (common)

If true the producer will not declare and bind a queue. This can be used for directing messages via an existing routing key.

false

boolean

vhost (common)

The vhost for the channel

/

String

autoAck (consumer)

If messages should be auto acknowledged

true

boolean

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. 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

exclusiveConsumer (consumer)

Request exclusive access to the queue (meaning only this consumer can access the queue). This is useful when you want a long-lived shared queue to be temporarily accessible by just one consumer.

false

boolean

prefetchCount (consumer)

The maximum number of messages that the server will deliver, 0 if unlimited. You need to specify the option of prefetchSize, prefetchCount, prefetchGlobal at the same time

int

prefetchEnabled (consumer)

Enables the quality of service on the RabbitMQConsumer side. You need to specify the option of prefetchSize, prefetchCount, prefetchGlobal at the same time

false

boolean

prefetchGlobal (consumer)

If the settings should be applied to the entire channel rather than each consumer You need to specify the option of prefetchSize, prefetchCount, prefetchGlobal at the same time

false

boolean

prefetchSize (consumer)

The maximum amount of content (measured in octets) that the server will deliver, 0 if unlimited. You need to specify the option of prefetchSize, prefetchCount, prefetchGlobal at the same time

10

int

Allow pass null values to header

false

boolean

Get maximum number of opened channel in pool

10

int

false

boolean

immediate (producer)

This flag tells the server how to react if the message cannot be routed to a queue consumer immediately. If this flag is set, the server will return an undeliverable message with a Return method. If this flag is zero, the server will queue the message, but with no guarantee that it will ever be consumed. If the header is present rabbitmq.IMMEDIATE it will override this option.

false

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

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

mandatory (producer)

This flag tells the server how to react if the message cannot be routed to a queue. If this flag is set, the server will return an unroutable message with a Return method. If this flag is zero, the server silently drops the message. If the header is present rabbitmq.MANDATORY it will override this option.

false

boolean

See https://rabbitmq.github.io/rabbitmq-java-client/api/current/com/rabbitmq/client/ConnectionFactory.html and the AMQP specification for more information on connection options.

Using a connection factory

To connect to RabbitMQ you can setup a ConnectionFactory (same as with JMS) with the login details such as:

<bean id="rabbitConnectionFactory" class="com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory">
  <property name="host" value="localhost"/>
  <property name="port" value="5672"/>
  <property name="username" value="camel"/>
  <property name="password" value="bugsbunny"/>
</bean>

And then refer to the connection factory in the endpoint uri as shown below:

<camelContext>
  <route>
    <from uri="direct:rabbitMQEx2"/>
    <to uri="rabbitmq:ex2?connectionFactory=#rabbitConnectionFactory"/>
  </route>
</camelContext>

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

<camelContext>
  <route>
    <from uri="direct:rabbitMQEx2"/>
    <to uri="rabbitmq:ex2"/>
  </route>
</camelContext>

In case you have multiple connection factories in your application or multiple connection factories in your registry, don’t forget to set the autoDetectConnectionFactory to false.

Message Headers

The following headers are set on exchanges when consuming messages.

Property Value

rabbitmq.ROUTING_KEY

The routing key that was used to receive the message, or the routing key that will be used when producing a message

rabbitmq.EXCHANGE_NAME

The exchange the message was received from

rabbitmq.DELIVERY_TAG

The rabbitmq delivery tag of the received message

rabbitmq.REDELIVERY_TAG

Whether the message is a redelivered

rabbitmq.REQUEUE

This is used by the consumer to control rejection of the message. When the consumer is complete processing the exchange, and if the exchange failed, then the consumer is going to reject the message from the RabbitMQ broker. The value of this header controls this behavior. If the value is false (by default) then the message is discarded/dead-lettered. If the value is true, then the message is re-queued.

The following headers are used by the producer. If these are set on the camel exchange then they will be set on the RabbitMQ message.

Property Value

rabbitmq.ROUTING_KEY

The routing key that will be used when sending the message

rabbitmq.EXCHANGE_NAME

The exchange the message was received from

rabbitmq.EXCHANGE_OVERRIDE_NAME

Used for force sending the message to this exchange instead of the endpoint configured name on the producer

rabbitmq.CONTENT_TYPE

The contentType to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.PRIORITY

The priority header to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.CORRELATIONID

The correlationId to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.MESSAGE_ID

The message id to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.DELIVERY_MODE

If the message should be persistent or not

rabbitmq.USERID

The userId to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.CLUSTERID

The clusterId to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.REPLY_TO

The replyTo to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.CONTENT_ENCODING

The contentEncoding to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.TYPE

The type to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.EXPIRATION

The expiration to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.TIMESTAMP

The timestamp to set on the RabbitMQ message

rabbitmq.APP_ID

The appId to set on the RabbitMQ message

Headers are set by the consumer once the message is received. The producer will also set the headers for downstream processors once the exchange has taken place.

Troubleshooting headers

Watch out when consuming from a RabbitMq queue and producing to the same RabbitMq exchange. The header details on the exchange may be populated with headers that will not be overriden by the destination endpoint. The following example will help understand the pitfall.

from("rabbitmq:A?queue=IN&declare=false&autoDelete=false&arg.queue.x-message-ttl=20000")
  // ... your route
  .to("rabbitmq:A?queue=OUT&routingKey=OUT&declare=false&autoDelete=false&arg.queue.x-message-ttl=20000");

You would think that it would be a straight forward operation. However, if the source queue has a routing key set in the headers, it will pass down to the destination and not be overriden with the URI query parameters. Because the exchange is the same and the routing key is the same, an infinitely growing loop is created.

Either make a second exchange for the producer to avoid the headers to pass through or manually access the exchange headers in a processor and get rid of the misbehaving key. (Example is written in Kotlin)

from("rabbitmq:A?queue=IN&declare=false&autoDelete=false&arg.queue.x-message-ttl=20000")
  // ...
  .process(Processor { exchange: Exchange ->
    val input = exchange.`in`.body as InputModel
    exchange.`in`.removeHeader("rabbitmq.ROUTING_KEY")
    exchange.`in`.body = OutputModel(...)
  })
  // ...
  .to("rabbitmq:A?queue=OUT&routingKey=OUT&declare=false&autoDelete=false&arg.queue.x-message-ttl=20000");

Now you are at least guaranteed to not create a loop from the camel route.

Allowing custom Headers

The allowCustomHeaders endpoint option can be used to avoid adding custom headers to the message sent to RabbitMQ. If set to false, the user will have only rabbitmq.* headers in the payload of the message. Default value for this option is true.

If you decide to use the allowCustomHeaders option, don’t add sensitive information as header. It’s not recommended and it’s dangerous. Don’t do it.

Message Body

The component will use the camel exchange in body as the rabbit mq message body. The camel exchange in object must be convertible to a byte array. Otherwise the producer will throw an exception of unsupported body type.

Samples

To receive messages from a queue that is bound to an exchange A with the routing key B,

from("rabbitmq:A?routingKey=B")
  .to("log:cheese");

To receive messages from a queue with a single thread with auto acknowledge disabled.

from("rabbitmq:A?routingKey=B&threadPoolSize=1&autoAck=false")
  .to("log:cheese");

To send messages to an exchange called C

from("direct:foo")
  .to("rabbitmq:C");

Declaring a headers exchange and queue

from("rabbitmq:ex?exchangeType=headers&queue=q&bindingArgs=#bindArgs")
  .to("log:cheese");

and place corresponding Map<String, Object> with the id of "bindArgs" in the Registry.

For example declaring a method in Spring

@Bean(name = "bindArgs")
public Map<String, Object> bindArgsBuilder() {
    return new HashMap<String, Object>() {{
        put("binding.foo", "bar");
    }};
}

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using 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-rabbitmq-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->

Request exclusive access to the queue (meaning only this consumer can access the queue). This is useful when you want a long-lived shared queue to be temporarily accessible by just one consumer.

false

Boolean

camel.component.rabbitmq.guaranteed-deliveries

When true, an exception will be thrown when the message cannot be delivered (basic.return) and the message is marked as mandatory. PublisherAcknowledgement will also be activated in this case. See also publisher acknowledgements - When will messages be confirmed.

false

Boolean

camel.component.rabbitmq.hostname

The hostname of the running RabbitMQ instance or cluster.

String

camel.component.rabbitmq.immediate

This flag tells the server how to react if the message cannot be routed to a queue consumer immediately. If this flag is set, the server will return an undeliverable message with a Return method. If this flag is zero, the server will queue the message, but with no guarantee that it will ever be consumed. If the header is present rabbitmq.IMMEDIATE it will override this option.

false

Boolean

camel.component.rabbitmq.lazy-start-producer

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

camel.component.rabbitmq.mandatory

This flag tells the server how to react if the message cannot be routed to a queue. If this flag is set, the server will return an unroutable message with a Return method. If this flag is zero, the server silently drops the message. If the header is present rabbitmq.MANDATORY it will override this option.

false

Boolean

camel.component.rabbitmq.prefetch-size

The maximum amount of content (measured in octets) that the server will deliver, 0 if unlimited. You need to specify the option of prefetchSize, prefetchCount, prefetchGlobal at the same time

This can be used if we need to declare the queue but not the exchange

false

Boolean

camel.component.rabbitmq.skip-queue-bind

If true the queue will not be bound to the exchange after declaring it

false

Boolean

If true the producer will not declare and bind a queue. This can be used for directing messages via an existing routing key.

false

Boolean

camel.component.rabbitmq.ssl-protocol

Enables SSL on connection, accepted value are true, TLS and 'SSLv3
