Question

I am testing the following scenario in Spring AMQP v1.4.2 and it fails to reconnect after a network disruption:

1. Start the spring application which consumes mess

Answer 1

Set setRequestedHeartBeat to the ConnectionFactory and setMissingQueuesFatal(false) to SimpleMessageListenerContainer in order to retry to connect indefinitely. By default SimpleMessageListenerContainer setMissingQueuesFatal is set to true and only 3 retries will be done.

  @Bean
  public ConnectionFactory connectionFactory() {
    final CachingConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new CachingConnectionFactory(getHost(), getPort());
    connectionFactory.setUsername(getUsername());
    connectionFactory.setPassword(getPassword());
    connectionFactory.setVirtualHost(getVirtualHost());
    connectionFactory.setRequestedHeartBeat(30);
    return connectionFactory;
  }

  @Bean
  public SimpleMessageListenerContainer listenerContainerCopernicusErrorQueue() {
    final SimpleMessageListenerContainer container = new SimpleMessageListenerContainer();
    container.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory());
    container.setQueueNames(myQueue().getName());
    container.setMessageListener(messageListenerAdapterQueue());
    container.setDefaultRequeueRejected(false);
    container.setMissingQueuesFatal(false);
    return container;
  }
