Reactive Messaging RabbitMQ Connector Reference Documentation
This guide is the companion from the Getting Started with RabbitMQ. It explains in more details the configuration and usage of the RabbitMQ connector for reactive messaging.
| This documentation does not cover all the details of the connector. Refer to the SmallRye Reactive Messaging website for further details. |
The RabbitMQ connector allows Quarkus applications to send and receive messages using the AMQP 0.9.1 protocol. More details about the protocol can be found in the AMQP 0.9.1 specification.
| The RabbitMQ connector supports AMQP 0-9-1, which is very different from the AMQP 1.0 protocol used by the AMQP 1.0 connector. You can use the AMQP 1.0 connector with RabbitMQ as described in the AMQP 1.0 connector reference, albeit with reduced functionality. |
|
This technology is considered preview. In preview, backward compatibility and presence in the ecosystem is not guaranteed. Specific improvements might require changing configuration or APIs, and plans to become stable are under way. Feedback is welcome on our mailing list or as issues in our GitHub issue tracker. For a full list of possible statuses, check our FAQ entry. |
RabbitMQ connector extension
To use the connector, you need to add the quarkus-messaging-rabbitmq extension.
Puede añadir la extensión a su proyecto utilizando:
> ./mvnw quarkus:add-extensions -Dextensions="quarkus-messaging-rabbitmq"O simplemente añada la siguiente dependencia a su proyecto:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
<artifactId>quarkus-messaging-rabbitmq</artifactId>
</dependency>Once added to your project, you can map channels to RabbitMQ exchanges or queues by configuring the connector attribute:
# Inbound
mp.messaging.incoming.[channel-name].connector=smallrye-rabbitmq
# Outbound
mp.messaging.outgoing.[channel-name].connector=smallrye-rabbitmqoutgoing channels are mapped to RabbitMQ exchanges and incoming channels are mapped to RabbitMQ queues as required
by the broker.
Configuring the RabbitMQ Broker access
The RabbitMQ connector connects to RabbitMQ brokers.
To configure the location and credentials of the broker, add the following properties in the application.properties:
rabbitmq-host=amqp (1)
rabbitmq-port=5672 (2)
rabbitmq-username=my-username (3)
rabbitmq-password=my-password (4)
mp.messaging.incoming.prices.connector=smallrye-rabbitmq (5)| 1 | Configures the broker host name. You can do it per channel (using the host attribute) or globally using rabbitmq-host |
| 2 | Configures the broker port. You can do it per channel (using the port attribute) or globally using rabbitmq-port. The default is 5672. |
| 3 | Configures the broker username if required. You can do it per channel (using the username attribute) or globally using rabbitmq-username. |
| 4 | Configures the broker password if required. You can do it per channel (using the password attribute) or globally using rabbitmq-password. |
| 5 | Instructs the prices channel to be managed by the RabbitMQ connector |
In dev mode and when running tests, Dev Services for RabbitMQ automatically starts a RabbitMQ broker.
Receiving RabbitMQ messages
Let’s imagine your application receives Message<Double>.
You can consume the payload directly:
package inbound;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.reactive.messaging.Incoming;
import jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
@ApplicationScoped
public class RabbitMQPriceConsumer {
@Incoming("prices")
public void consume(double price) {
// process your price.
}
}O bien, puede recuperar el Message<Double>:
package inbound;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.reactive.messaging.Incoming;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.reactive.messaging.Message;
import jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage;
@ApplicationScoped
public class RabbitMQPriceMessageConsumer {
@Incoming("prices")
public CompletionStage<Void> consume(Message<Double> price) {
// process your price.
// Acknowledge the incoming message, marking the RabbitMQ message as `accepted`.
return price.ack();
}
}Metadatos de entrada
Messages coming from RabbitMQ contain an instance of IncomingRabbitMQMetadata in the metadata.
Optional<IncomingRabbitMQMetadata> metadata = incoming.getMetadata(IncomingRabbitMQMetadata.class);
metadata.ifPresent(meta -> {
final Optional<String> contentEncoding = meta.getContentEncoding();
final Optional<String> contentType = meta.getContentType();
final Optional<String> correlationId = meta.getCorrelationId();
final Optional<ZonedDateTime> creationTime = meta.getCreationTime(ZoneId.systemDefault());
final Optional<Integer> priority = meta.getPriority();
final Optional<String> replyTo = meta.getReplyTo();
final Optional<String> userId = meta.getUserId();
// Access a single String-valued header
final Optional<String> stringHeader = meta.getHeader("my-header", String.class);
// Access all headers
final Map<String,Object> headers = meta.getHeaders();
// ...
});Deserialización
The connector converts incoming RabbitMQ Messages into Reactive Messaging Message<T> instances. The payload type T depends on the value of the RabbitMQ received message Envelope content_type and content_encoding properties.
| content_encoding | content_type | T |
|---|---|---|
Value present |
n/a |
|
No value |
|
|
No value |
|
a JSON element which can be a |
No value |
Anything else |
|
If you send objects with this RabbitMQ connector (outbound connector), they are encoded as JSON and sent with content_type set to application/json. You can receive this payload using (Vert.x) JSON Objects, and then map it to the object class you want:
@ApplicationScoped
public static class Generator {
@Outgoing("to-rabbitmq")
public Multi<Price> prices() { (1)
AtomicInteger count = new AtomicInteger();
return Multi.createFrom().ticks().every(Duration.ofMillis(1000))
.map(l -> new Price().setPrice(count.incrementAndGet()))
.onOverflow().drop();
}
}
@ApplicationScoped
public static class Consumer {
List<Price> prices = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<>();
@Incoming("from-rabbitmq")
public void consume(JsonObject p) { (2)
Price price = p.mapTo(Price.class); (3)
prices.add(price);
}
public List<Price> list() {
return prices;
}
}| 1 | Las instancias de Price son codificadas automáticamente en JSON por el conector |
| 2 | Puede recibirlo mediante un JsonObject |
| 3 | A continuación, puede reconstruir la instancia utilizando el método mapTo |
El método mapTo utiliza el mapeador Quarkus Jackson. Consulta esta guía para saber más sobre la configuración del mapeador.

Agradecimiento
When a Reactive Messaging Message associated with a RabbitMQ Message is acknowledged, it informs the broker that the message has been accepted.
Whether you need to explicitly acknowledge the message depends on the auto-acknowledgement setting for the channel; if that is set to true then your message will be automatically acknowledged on receipt.
Gestión de fallos
If a message produced from a RabbitMQ message is nacked, a failure strategy is applied. The RabbitMQ connector supports three strategies, controlled by the failure-strategy channel setting:
-
fail- fail the application; no more RabbitMQ messages will be processed. The RabbitMQ message is marked as rejected. -
accept- this strategy marks the RabbitMQ message as accepted. The processing continues ignoring the failure. -
reject- this strategy marks the RabbitMQ message as rejected (default). The processing continues with the next message.
Sending RabbitMQ messages
Serialización
When sending a Message<T>, the connector converts the message into a RabbitMQ Message. The payload is converted to the RabbitMQ Message body.
| T | RabbitMQ Message Body |
|---|---|
primitive types or |
String value with |
Serialized String payload with |
|
|
Binary content, with |
|
Binary content, with |
Cualquier otra clase |
The payload is converted to JSON (using a Json Mapper) then serialized with |
Si la carga útil del mensaje no puede ser serializada a JSON, el mensaje es nacked.
Metadatos de salida
When sending Messages, you can add an instance of OutgoingRabbitMQMetadata
to influence how the message is handled by RabbitMQ. For example, you can configure the routing key, timestamp and
headers:
final OutgoingRabbitMQMetadata metadata = new OutgoingRabbitMQMetadata.Builder()
.withHeader("my-header", "xyzzy")
.withRoutingKey("urgent")
.withTimestamp(ZonedDateTime.now())
.build();
// Add `metadata` to the metadata of the outgoing message.
return Message.of("Hello", Metadata.of(metadata));Configuring the RabbitMQ Exchange/Queue
You can configure the RabbitMQ exchange or queue associated with a channel using properties on the channel configuration.
incoming channels are mapped to RabbitMQ queues and outgoing channels are mapped to RabbitMQ exchanges.
For example:
mp.messaging.incoming.prices.connector=smallrye-rabbitmq
mp.messaging.incoming.prices.queue.name=my-queue
mp.messaging.outgoing.orders.connector=smallrye-rabbitmq
mp.messaging.outgoing.orders.exchange.name=my-order-queueIf the exchange.name or queue.name attribute is not set, the connector uses the channel name.
To use an existing queue, you need to configure the name and set the exchange’s or queue’s declare property to false.
For example, if you have a RabbitMQ broker configured with a people exchange and queue, you need the following configuration:
mp.messaging.incoming.people.connector=smallrye-rabbitmq
mp.messaging.incoming.people.queue.name=people
mp.messaging.incoming.people.queue.declare=false
mp.messaging.outgoing.people.connector=smallrye-rabbitmq
mp.messaging.outgoing.people.exchange.name=people
mp.messaging.outgoing.people.exchange.declare=falseModelo de ejecución y procesamiento por bloqueo
Reactive Messaging invokes your method on an I/O thread.
See the Quarkus Reactive Architecture documentation for further details on this topic.
But, you often need to combine Reactive Messaging with blocking processing such as database interactions.
For this, you need to use the @Blocking annotation indicating that the processing is blocking and should not be run on the caller thread.
Por ejemplo, el siguiente código ilustra cómo puede almacenar las cargas útiles entrantes en una base de datos utilizando Hibernate con Panache:
import io.smallrye.reactive.messaging.annotations.Blocking;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.reactive.messaging.Incoming;
import jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import jakarta.transaction.Transactional;
@ApplicationScoped
public class PriceStorage {
@Incoming("prices")
@Blocking
@Transactional
public void store(int priceInUsd) {
Price price = new Price();
price.value = priceInUsd;
price.persist();
}
}|

They have the same effect. Thus, you can use both. The first one provides more fine-grained tuning such as the worker pool to use and whether it preserves the order. The second one, used also with other reactive features of Quarkus, uses the default worker pool and preserves the order. |

@RunOnVirtualThread
For running the blocking processing on Java virtual threads, see the Quarkus Virtual Thread support with Reactive Messaging documentation. |
Customizing the underlying RabbitMQ client
The connector uses the Vert.x RabbitMQ client underneath. More details about this client can be found in the Vert.x website.
You can customize the underlying client configuration by producing an instance of RabbitMQOptions as follows:
@Produces
@Identifier("my-named-options")
public RabbitMQOptions getNamedOptions() {
PemKeyCertOptions keycert = new PemKeyCertOptions()
.addCertPath("./tls/tls.crt")
.addKeyPath("./tls/tls.key");
PemTrustOptions trust = new PemTrustOptions().addCertPath("./tlc/ca.crt");
// You can use the produced options to configure the TLS connection
return new RabbitMQOptions()
.setSsl(true)
.setPemKeyCertOptions(keycert)
.setPemTrustOptions(trust)
.setUser("user1")
.setPassword("password1")
.setHost("localhost")
.setPort(5672)
.setVirtualHost("vhost1")
.setConnectionTimeout(6000) // in milliseconds
.setRequestedHeartbeat(60) // in seconds
.setHandshakeTimeout(6000) // in milliseconds
.setRequestedChannelMax(5)
.setNetworkRecoveryInterval(500) // in milliseconds
.setAutomaticRecoveryEnabled(true);
}This instance is retrieved and used to configure the client used by the connector.
You need to indicate the name of the client using the client-options-name attribute:
mp.messaging.incoming.prices.client-options-name=my-named-optionsInformes de salud
If you use the RabbitMQ connector with the quarkus-smallrye-health extension, it contributes to the readiness and liveness probes.
The RabbitMQ connector reports the readiness and liveness of each channel managed by the connector.
To disable health reporting, set the health-enabled attribute for the channel to false.
On the inbound side (receiving messages from RabbitMQ), the check verifies that the receiver is connected to the broker.
On the outbound side (sending records to RabbitMQ), the check verifies that the sender is not disconnected from the broker; the sender may still be in an initialised state (connection not yet attempted), but this is regarded as live/ready.
Note that a message processing failures nacks the message, which is then handled by the failure-strategy.
It’s the responsibility of the failure-strategy to report the failure and influence the outcome of the checks.
The fail failure strategy reports the failure, and so the check will report the fault.
Dynamic Credentials
Quarkus and the RabbitMQ connector support Vault’s RabbitMQ secrets engine for generating short-lived dynamic credentials. This allows Vault to create and retire RabbitMQ credentials on a regular basis.
First we need to enable Vault’s rabbitmq secret engine, configure it with RabbitMQ’s connection and authentication
information, and create a Vault role my-role (replace 10.0.0.3 by the actual host that is running the
RabbitMQ container):
vault secrets enable rabbitmq
vault write rabbitmq/config/connection \
connection_uri=http://10.0.0.3:15672 \
username=guest \
password=guest
vault write rabbitmq/roles/my-role \
vhosts='{"/":{"write": ".*", "read": ".*"}}'|
For this use case, user |
Then we need to give a read capability to the Quarkus application on path rabbitmq/creds/my-role.
cat <<EOF | vault policy write vault-rabbitmq-policy -
path "secret/data/myapps/vault-rabbitmq-test/*" {
capabilities = ["read"]
}
path "rabbitmq/creds/my-role" {
capabilities = [ "read" ]
}
EOFNow that Vault knows how to create users in RabbitMQ, we need to configure Quarkus to use a credentials-provider for RabbitMQ.
First we tell Quarkus to request dynamic credentials using a credentials-provider named rabbitmq.
quarkus.rabbitmq.credentials-provider = rabbitmq
Next we configure the rabbitmq credentials provider. The credentials-role option must be set to the name of the
role we created in Vault, in our case my-role. The credentials-mount option must be set to rabbitmq.
quarkus.vault.credentials-provider.rabbitmq.credentials-role=my-role
quarkus.vault.credentials-provider.rabbitmq.credentials-mount=rabbitmq
The credentials-mount is used directly as the mount of the secret engine in Vault. Here we are using
the default mount path of rabbitmq. If the RabbitMQ secret engine was mounted at a custom path, the
credentials-mount option must be set to that path instead.
