Execution of Rabbit message listener failed, and no ErrorHandler has been set. Failed to invoke target method with argument type = [class [B],

Question

I am using spring amqp rabbitmq, and sending messages using

Message message = MessageBuilder
.withBody(item.toString().getBytes())
.setReplyTo("importReply")
.setCorrelationId(item.toString().getBytes()).build();

My message handler is

public class Foundation {   
    public Message importExchange(Message exchange) {
        System.out.println("Command:" + exchange.getBody());        
                Message message = MessageBuilder
                .withBody(exchange.getBody().toString().getBytes()).setCorrelationId(exchange.getMessageProperties().getCorrelationId()                                  .toString().getBytes()).build();

        return message; 
    }
}

I have hooked it using

<rabbit:listener-container
    connection-factory="rabbitConnectionFactory" concurrency="10">
    <rabbit:listener queues="${rabbitmq.import.queue}"
        ref="foundation" method="importExchange" />
    <rabbit:listener queues="${rabbitmq.import.reply.queue}"
        ref="importExchangeItemWriter" method="replyHandler" />
</rabbit:listener-container>

But I am getting below execption

Execution of Rabbit message listener failed, and no ErrorHandler has been set.

and the similar issue is also on producer side replyHandler

public void replyHandler(Message message) {
    System.out.println("In Reply Handler:" + message.getMessageProperties().getCorrelationId());

}

Also, how can I get exception in replyHandler if there is any exception in importExchange ?

Answer 1

Since you are using POJO for message listening you can't get deal with messages.

Your Foundation#importExchange should accept message body (in your case byte[]) and return something appropriate to be for reply message body.

The replyHandler just has to implement MessageListener.

The Framework will do for you the correlation stuff.

Answer 2

Or you can add .setContentType="text/plain" and the converter will be able to convert to String for you.
