Spring Integration ( Retry Strategy) - spring

Question

I want to create a simple IntegrationFlow with Spring integration, and I am having difficulties.
I want to create an integration flow that takes messages from a queue in Rabbit Mq and posts the messages to an endpoint Rest.
The problem I am dealing with is that when a request fails, it continues to retry endlessly, how can I implement a retry strategy in this code?
For example, I want 3 retrys ,the first retry after 1 second, the second after 5 seconds and the third after 1 minute.
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
SimpleMessageListenerContainer container = new SimpleMessageListenerContainer(connectionFactory);
container.setQueueNames(BOUTIQUE_QUEUE_NAME);
container.setAcknowledgeMode(AcknowledgeMode.AUTO);
return IntegrationFlows.from(Amqp.inboundAdapter(container)) /* Get Message from RabbitMQ */
.handle(msg ->
{
String msgString = new String((byte[]) msg.getPayload(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
HttpEntity<String> requestBody = new HttpEntity<String>(msgString, headers);
restTemplate.postForObject(ENDPOINT_LOCAL_URL, requestBody, String.class);
System.out.println(msgString);
})
.get();
}

Answer 1

Add a retry interceptor to the listener container's advice chain. See https://docs.spring.io/spring-amqp/docs/2.2.10.RELEASE/reference/html/#retry and https://docs.spring.io/spring-amqp/docs/2.2.10.RELEASE/reference/html/#async-listeners
EDIT
#SpringBootApplication
public class So63596805Application {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(So63596805Application.class);
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(So63596805Application.class, args);
}
#Bean
IntegrationFlow flow(SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory factory, RabbitTemplate template) {
SimpleMessageListenerContainer container = factory.createListenerContainer();
container.setQueueNames("foo");
container.setAdviceChain(RetryInterceptorBuilder.stateless()
.maxAttempts(5)
.backOffOptions(1000, 2.0, 10000)
.recoverer((msg, cause) -> LOG.info("Retries exhausted for " + msg))
.build());
return IntegrationFlows.from(Amqp.inboundAdapter(container))
.handle(msg -> {
LOG.info(msg.getPayload().toString());
throw new RuntimeException("test");
})
.get();
}
}
This uses an exponential back off policy.
If you use
.maxAttempts(4)
.backOffOptions(1000, 5.0, 60000)
You will get 3 retries after 1, 5 and 25 seconds.
1000, 8.0, 60000 will give you 1, 8 and 60 seconds.
If you must have your specs (1, 5, 60), you will need a custom BackOffPolicy.
