Hi I want to set x-expire time for the queues which are created in rabbit
and i am using <rabbit:queue> tag for the same. But looks like rabbit/spring takes the value as string and is not able to set this property to the queue.

Code:
  <rabbit:queue name="test.noConsumerQueue" auto-delete="true">
      <rabbit:queue-arguments>
       		<entry key="x-expires" value="10000"/>
      </rabbit:queue-arguments> 
      
     </rabbit:queue>
I am getting this exection

Code:

is there a way to pass the value as int/long instead of string?
Am i missing something here?

How ever i also noticed that the queue does get created in the broker, but without this argument.
