RabbitMQ + Spring AMQP Configuration

[dan0]

I'm currently using ActiveMQ and want to try out RabbitMQ; to that end I need some clarification on the following:

• Can I use org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.listener.adapter.M essageListenerAdapter and org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.listener.SimpleMes sageListenerContainer, to listen for and handle messages like I do with org.springframework.jms.listener.adapter.MessageLi stenerAdapter and org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageLis tenerContainer?

• The hello world example on github does not demonstrate how to create an exchange or how to bind a queue to it. Can anyone explain how to do so or point me to an example that does?

Yes, the listener container model is designed to look and feel as much like Spring Jms counterparts as possible.

The hello-world sample only uses the default exchange and binding. The stocks sample uses explicit exchanges and bindings (e.g. https://github.com/SpringSource/spri...let-config.xml), and there are examples in the user guide (http://static.springsource.org/sprin...-configuration). The easiest thing is to declare bean definitions of the right type and a RabbitAdmin with autoStartup=true, and the namespace takes care of that if you use XML.
