Spring AMQP StatefulRetryOperationsInterceptor not used

Question

I am trying configure spring amqp to only retry a message a defined amount of times. Currently a message that fails e.g. because of a DataIntegrityViolationException is redelivered indefinitely.

According to the documentation here I came up with the following configuration

@Bean
    public StatefulRetryOperationsInterceptor statefulRetryOperationsInterceptor() {
        return RetryInterceptorBuilder.stateful()
                .backOffOptions(1000, 2.0, 10000) // initialInterval, multiplier, maxInterval
                .maxAttempts(3)
                .messageKeyGenerator(message -> UUID.randomUUID().toString())
                .build();
    } 

This does not seem to be applied - the messages are still tried indefinitely.

Feels like I am missing something here.

Here is my remaining configuration regarding AMQP:

@Bean
    Queue testEventSubscriberQueue() {
        final boolean durable = true;
        return new Queue("testEventSubscriberQueue", durable);
    }

    @Bean
    Binding binding(TopicExchange topicExchange) {
        return BindingBuilder.bind(testEventSubscriberQueue()).to(topicExchange).with("payload.event-create");
    }

    @Bean
    SimpleMessageListenerContainer messageListenerContainer(ConnectionFactory connectionFactory, MessageListenerAdapter listenerAdapter) {
        SimpleMessageListenerContainer container = new SimpleMessageListenerContainer();
        container.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory);
        container.setQueueNames(testEventSubscriberQueue().getName());
        container.setMessageListener(listenerAdapter);
        container.setChannelTransacted(true);
        return container;
    }


    @Bean
    MessageListenerAdapter listenerAdapter(MessageConverter messageConverter, SubscriberHandler subscriberHandler) {
        MessageListenerAdapter listenerAdapter = new MessageListenerAdapter(subscriberHandler);
        listenerAdapter.setMessageConverter(messageConverter);
        return listenerAdapter;
    }

    @Bean
    public MessageConverter messageConverter(ObjectMapper objectMapper) {
        final Jackson2JsonMessageConverter jsonMessageConverter = new Jackson2JsonMessageConverter();
        jsonMessageConverter.setJsonObjectMapper(objectMapper);
        DefaultClassMapper defaultClassMapper = new DefaultClassMapper();
        defaultClassMapper.setDefaultType(EventPayload.class);
        jsonMessageConverter.setClassMapper(defaultClassMapper);
        final ContentTypeDelegatingMessageConverter messageConverter = new ContentTypeDelegatingMessageConverter(jsonMessageConverter);
        messageConverter.addDelgate(MessageProperties.CONTENT_TYPE_JSON, jsonMessageConverter);
        return messageConverter;
    }

    @Bean
    public RabbitTemplate rabbitTemplate(ConnectionFactory connectionFactory, MessageConverter messageConverter) {
        RabbitTemplate rabbitTemplate = new RabbitTemplate(connectionFactory);
        rabbitTemplate.setMessageConverter(messageConverter);
        //rabbitTemplate.setChannelTransacted(true);
        return rabbitTemplate;
    }

@Bean
    public TopicExchange testExchange() {
        final boolean durable = true;
        final boolean autoDelete = false;
        return new TopicExchange(EXCHANGE_NAME, durable, autoDelete);
    }

I am using spring-amqp 1.5.1.RELEASE.

Any help is appreciated.

You need to configure the container to add the interceptor to its advice chain...

container.setAdviceChain(new Advice[] { statefulRetryOperationsInterceptor() });
