Spring Boot AMQP Receiver - spring

Question

I'm creating a simple Spring Boot app that I want to receive messages sent to an AMQP (Rabbit) exchange (from another application).
I am getting an error stating that the queue i'm to receive on does not exists. When I look at http://localhost:15672/#/queues i can see that it does; i delete it before starting this application.
I read on another post that if a queue does not exists, RabbitAdmin has to be declared and declareExchange() and declareQueue() used to overcome this.
Even with this in place I'm still seeing the same error. Furthermore, the error is confusing b/c it states:
Caused by: com.rabbitmq.client.ShutdownSignalException: channel error; protocol method: #method(reply-code=404, reply-text=NOT_FOUND - no queue 'from-logger-exchange' in vhost '/', class-id=50, method-id=10)
Note the 'no queue' indicates my exchange name.
Here's the configuration code (i realize that Boot creates the connectionFactory & RabbitAdmin but started adding these when that wasn't working):
'import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import org.springframework.amqp.core.Binding;
import org.springframework.amqp.core.BindingBuilder;
import org.springframework.amqp.core.FanoutExchange;
import org.springframework.amqp.core.Queue;
import org.springframework.amqp.core.TopicExchange;
import org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.connection.CachingConnectionFactory;
import org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.connection.ConnectionFactory;
import org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.core.RabbitAdmin;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
#Configuration
public class Config {
#Value("${spring.activemq.broker-url}")
String host;
#Value("${spring.activemq.user}")
String userName;
#Value("${spring.activemq.password}")
String password;
#Value("${config.exchangeName}")
String exchangeName;
#Value("${config.queueName}")
String queueName;
#PostConstruct
public void printVariables() {
System.out.println("host " + host);
System.out.println("userName " + userName);
System.out.println("password " + password);
System.out.println("exchangeName " + exchangeName);
System.out.println("queueName " + queueName);
System.out.println("queue.name " + queue().getName());
System.out.println("exchange.name " + topicExchange().getName());
System.out.println("binding " + binding().toString());
System.out.println("connectionFactory " + connectionFactory().toString());
System.out.println("rabbitAdmin " + rabbitAdmin().toString());
}
#Bean
public ConnectionFactory connectionFactory() {
CachingConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new CachingConnectionFactory(host);
connectionFactory.setUsername(userName);
connectionFactory.setPassword(password);
return connectionFactory;
}
#Bean
public RabbitAdmin rabbitAdmin() {
RabbitAdmin rabbitAdmin = new RabbitAdmin(connectionFactory());
rabbitAdmin.declareExchange(topicExchange());
rabbitAdmin.declareQueue(queue());
return rabbitAdmin;
}
#Bean
public Queue queue() {
return new Queue(queueName);
}
// #Bean
// public FanoutExchange fanoutExchange() {
// return new FanoutExchange(exchangeName);
// }
public TopicExchange topicExchange() {
return new TopicExchange(exchangeName, false, true);
}
#Bean
public Binding binding() {
//return BindingBuilder.bind(queue()).to(fanoutExchange());
return BindingBuilder.bind(queue()).to(topicExchange()).with("my.routing.key");
}
#Bean
public Receiver receiver() {
return new Receiver();
}
}
'
Here's the Receiver:
import org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.annotation.RabbitListener;
public class Receiver {
#RabbitListener(queues="${config.exchangeName}")
public void receive(String input) {
System.out.println(" Receiver#receive input: " + input);
}
}
Here's the first bit of the console output:

What's even more confusing is that when i look at http://localhost:15672/#/connections i see the connection, http://localhost:15672/#/channels i see the channel, http://localhost:15672/#/exchanges i see "from-logger-exchange", and http://localhost:15672/#/queues i see "from-logger-queue"

Answer 1

One problem is your exchange is not a #Bean.
I get
reply-code=404, reply-text=NOT_FOUND - no exchange 'from.logging.exchange' in vhost '/', class-id=50, method-id=20)
with your config. Adding #Bean to the exchange fixes it.
EDIT
Also (as Artem points out below), you have the wrong property on the listener
#RabbitListener(queues="${config.exchangeName}")
should be
#RabbitListener(queues="${config.queueName}")
