RabbitMQ java clients for beginners

Here is a sample of a consumer and producer example for RabbitMQ. The steps are

1. Download Erlang
2. Download Rabbit MQ Server
3. Download Rabbit MQ Java client jars
4. Compile and run the below two class and you are done.
   

This sample create a Durable Exchange, Queue and a Message. You will have to start the consumer first before you start the for the first time.

+++++++++++++++++RabbitMQProducer.java+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

import com.rabbitmq.client.Connection;
import com.rabbitmq.client.Channel;
import com.rabbitmq.client.*;

public class RabbitMQProducer {
   public static void main(String []args) throws Exception {
 ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
 factory.setUsername("guest");
 factory.setPassword("guest");
 factory.setVirtualHost("/");
 factory.setHost("127.0.0.1");
 factory.setPort(5672);
 Connection conn = factory.newConnection();
      Channel channel = conn.createChannel();
      String exchangeName = "myExchange";
      String routingKey = "testRoute";
      byte[] messageBodyBytes = "Hello, world!".getBytes();
      channel.basicPublish(exchangeName, routingKey
,MessageProperties.PERSISTENT_TEXT_PLAIN, messageBodyBytes) ;
      channel.close();
      conn.close();
      }
}

+++++++++++++++++RabbitMQConsumer.java+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

import com.rabbitmq.client.Connection;

      boolean durable = true;
      channel.exchangeDeclare(exchangeName, "direct", durable);
      channel.queueDeclare(queueName, durable,false,false,null);
      channel.queueBind(queueName, exchangeName, routingKey);
      boolean noAck = false;
      QueueingConsumer consumer = new QueueingConsumer(channel);
      channel.basicConsume(queueName, noAck, consumer);
      boolean runInfinite = true;
      while (runInfinite) {
            QueueingConsumer.Delivery delivery;
            try {
               delivery = consumer.nextDelivery();
            } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
               continue;
            }
         System.out.println("Message received" 
+ new String(delivery.getBody()));
         channel.basicAck(delivery.getEnvelope().getDeliveryTag(), false);
      }
      channel.close();
      conn.close();
      }
}
