Spring Boot JMS AutoStartup - spring

Question

I am trying to start/stop manually JMS listeners in my Spring Boot App. I am currently using the following configuration to my container factory:
#EnableJms
public class ConfigJms {
...
#Bean(name = "queueContainerFactory")
public JmsListenerContainerFactory<?> queueContainerFactory(ConnectionFactory cf) {
ActiveMQConnectionFactory amqCf = (ActiveMQConnectionFactory) cf;
amqCf.setTrustAllPackages(true);
SimpleJmsListenerContainerFactory factory = new SimpleJmsListenerContainerFactory();
factory.setConnectionFactory(amqCf);
**factory.setAutoStartup(false);**
return factory;
}
...
}
After testing factory.setAutoStartup(false); I am quite confused because even indicating to do not start any listener for this factory container, the listeners are already registered and started when the context starts.
I tested this situation by using a jmsListenerEndpointRegistry.
jmsListenerEndpointRegistry.isAutoStartup() is true and
jmsListenerEndpointRegistry. isRunning () is true before execute jmsListenerEndpointRegistry.start();
Is it necessary to configure anything else? Maybe I am omitting to override some auto-configuration.
EDIT 1: Invalid status of JmsListenerEndpointRegistry listeners
I detected a couple of inconsistences in my beans:
jmsListenerEndpointRegistry.getListenerContainerIds().size() is always 0.
jmsListenerEndpointRegistry.isAutoStartup() is just a return true method.
Even if I register a couple of listeners with annotations like this:
#JmsListener(containerFactory="queueContainerFactory", destination = "${dest}")
jmsListenerEndpointRegistry does not show information about these listeners status but they are connected to ActiveMQ on startup. (Checking the ActiveMQ admin console)
EDIT 2: #JmsListener starts even auto-startup is set to false
I checked the jmsListenerEndpointRegistry for each container and I do not know if this is a bug or I am not correctly defining the configuration. However, I am just defining the container factory as explained before with AUTO-START set to false and the both listeners are started and consuming messages (running).
From my Log file:
jmsListenerEndpointRegistry ID <org.springframework.jms.JmsListenerEndpointContainer#1>, Auto-Startup <false>, Running <true>
jmsListenerEndpointRegistry ID <org.springframework.jms.JmsListenerEndpointContainer#0>, Auto-Startup <false>, Running <true>

You must have something else going on - I just wrote a quick boot app (1.4.1) and the container is not started...
#SpringBootApplication
public class So39654027Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(So39654027Application.class, args);
JmsListenerEndpointRegistry reg = context.getBean(JmsListenerEndpointRegistry.class);
MessageListenerContainer listenerContainer = reg.getListenerContainer("foo");
System.out.println(listenerContainer.isRunning());
}
#Bean(name = "queueContainerFactory")
public JmsListenerContainerFactory<?> queueContainerFactory(ConnectionFactory cf) {
ActiveMQConnectionFactory amqCf = (ActiveMQConnectionFactory) cf;
amqCf.setTrustAllPackages(true);
SimpleJmsListenerContainerFactory factory = new SimpleJmsListenerContainerFactory();
factory.setConnectionFactory(amqCf);
factory.setAutoStartup(false);
return factory;
}
#JmsListener(id="foo", destination = "so39654027", containerFactory = "queueContainerFactory")
public void listen(String foo) {
System.out.println(foo);
}
}
and...
2016-09-23 09:24:33.428 INFO 97907 --- [ main] com.example.So39654027Application : Started So39654027Application in 1.193 seconds (JVM running for 2.012)
false
I suggest you use a debugger in the container's start() method to see why it's being started.

Order is important, factory.setAutoStartup(autoStartup) after configure.
#Bean
public JmsListenerContainerFactory<?> ShipmentListenerFactory(#Qualifier("GSUBCachingConnectionFactory") CachingConnectionFactory connectionFactory,
DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer configurer) {
DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory factory = new DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory();
// This provides all boot's default to this factory, including the message converter
// Added ability to disable not start listener
boolean autoStartup = env.getProperty("app-env.CKPT_QUEUE_AUTO_START",Boolean.class,true);
log.info("[MQ] CKPT_QUEUE_AUTO_START:{}",autoStartup);
configurer.configure(factory, connectionFactory);
factory.setAutoStartup(autoStartup);
// You could still override some of Boot's default if necessary.
return factory;
}
