How to implement an ApplicationListener in DirectMessageListenerContainer

Question

Can anyone please guide on how to programatically register an ApplicationListener in DirectMessageListenerContainer(spring rabbitmq) to handle the ListenerContainerConsumerFailedEvent

Thanks In Advance.

Answer 1

The listener is not registered to the container; it is simply added as a @Bean to the Spring application context; the container publishes the event and Spring dispatches it to each registered listener.

EDIT

Don't put code in comments; they don't render well - always edit the question instead and add a comment that you have done so.

Creating containers like that means you will miss all the Spring goodness and injected dependencies; it's better to add a DirectRabbitListenerContainerFactory @Bean to the application context and use it to create containers - that way the event publisher will be injected.

You only need one listener; it will receive events from all containers.

If you are not using Spring at all (except spring-rabbit) then you need to satisfy all of the container's ...Aware interfaces yourself and call afterPropertiesSet() .

In this case you would call setApplicationEventPublisher() with your custom publisher which will receive the event(s).
