multiple Rabbitmq queues with spring boot

19.2k views Asked by At

From spring boot tutorial: https://spring.io/guides/gs/messaging-rabbitmq/

They give an example of creating 1 queue and 1 queue only, but, what if I want to be able to create more then 1 queue? how would it be possible?

Obviously, I can't just create the same bean twice:

@Bean
Queue queue() {
    return new Queue(queueNameAAA, false);
}

@Bean
Queue queue() {
    return new Queue(queueNameBBB, false);
}

You can't create the same bean twice, it will make ambiguous.

Give the bean definition factory methods different names. Usually, by convention, you would name them the same as the queue, but that's not required...

@Bean
Queue queue1() {
    return new Queue(queueNameAAA, false);
}

@Bean
Queue queue2() {
    return new Queue(queueNameBBB, false); 
}

The method name is the bean name.

EDIT

When using the queues in the binding beans, there are two options:

@Bean
Binding binding1(@Qualifier("queue1") Queue queue, TopicExchange exchange) {
    return BindingBuilder.bind(queue).to(exchange).with(queueNameAAA);
}

@Bean
Binding binding2(@Qualifier("queue2") Queue queue, TopicExchange exchange) {
    return BindingBuilder.bind(queue).to(exchange).with(queueNameBBB);
}

or

@Bean
Binding binding1(TopicExchange exchange) {
    return BindingBuilder.bind(queue1()).to(exchange).with(queueNameAAA);
}

@Bean
Binding binding2(TopicExchange exchange) {
    return BindingBuilder.bind(queue2()).to(exchange).with(queueNameBBB);
}

or even better...

@Bean
Binding binding1(TopicExchange exchange) {
    return BindingBuilder.bind(queue1()).to(exchange).with(queue1().getName());
}

@Bean
Binding binding2(TopicExchange exchange) {
    return BindingBuilder.bind(queue2()).to(exchange).with(queue2().getName());
}
