Dead-Letter Queue Processing
Because you cannot anticipate how users would want to dispose of dead-lettered messages, the framework does not provide any standard mechanism to handle them.
If the reason for the dead-lettering is transient, you may wish to route the messages back to the original queue.
However, if the problem is a permanent issue, that could cause an infinite loop.
The following Spring Boot application shows an example of how to route those messages back to the original queue but moves them to a third “parking lot” queue after three attempts.
The second example uses the RabbitMQ Delayed Message Exchange to introduce a delay to the re-queued message.
In this example, the delay increases for each attempt.
These examples use a @RabbitListener to receive messages from the DLQ.
You could also use RabbitTemplate.receive() in a batch process.
The examples assume the original destination is so8400in and the consumer group is so8400.
Non-Partitioned Destinations
The first two examples are for when the destination is not partitioned:
@SpringBootApplication
public class ReRouteDlqApplication {
private static final String ORIGINAL_QUEUE = "so8400in.so8400";
private static final String DLQ = ORIGINAL_QUEUE + ".dlq";
private static final String PARKING_LOT = ORIGINAL_QUEUE + ".parkingLot";
private static final String X_RETRIES_HEADER = "x-retries";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(ReRouteDlqApplication.class, args);
System.out.println("Press enter to exit");
System.in.read();
context.close();
}
@Autowired
private RabbitTemplate rabbitTemplate;
@RabbitListener(queues = DLQ)
public void rePublish(Message failedMessage) {
Integer retriesHeader = (Integer) failedMessage.getMessageProperties().getHeaders().get(X_RETRIES_HEADER);
if (retriesHeader == null) {
retriesHeader = Integer.valueOf(0);
}
if (retriesHeader < 3) {
failedMessage.getMessageProperties().getHeaders().put(X_RETRIES_HEADER, retriesHeader + 1);
this.rabbitTemplate.send(ORIGINAL_QUEUE, failedMessage);
}
else {
this.rabbitTemplate.send(PARKING_LOT, failedMessage);
}
}
@Bean
public Queue parkingLot() {
return new Queue(PARKING_LOT);
}
}@SpringBootApplication
public class ReRouteDlqApplication {
private static final String ORIGINAL_QUEUE = "so8400in.so8400";
private static final String DLQ = ORIGINAL_QUEUE + ".dlq";
private static final String PARKING_LOT = ORIGINAL_QUEUE + ".parkingLot";
private static final String X_RETRIES_HEADER = "x-retries";
private static final String DELAY_EXCHANGE = "dlqReRouter";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(ReRouteDlqApplication.class, args);
System.out.println("Press enter to exit");
System.in.read();
context.close();
}
@Autowired
private RabbitTemplate rabbitTemplate;
@RabbitListener(queues = DLQ)
public void rePublish(Message failedMessage) {
Map<String, Object> headers = failedMessage.getMessageProperties().getHeaders();
Integer retriesHeader = (Integer) headers.get(X_RETRIES_HEADER);
if (retriesHeader == null) {
retriesHeader = Integer.valueOf(0);
}
if (retriesHeader < 3) {
headers.put(X_RETRIES_HEADER, retriesHeader + 1);
headers.put("x-delay", 5000 * retriesHeader);
this.rabbitTemplate.send(DELAY_EXCHANGE, ORIGINAL_QUEUE, failedMessage);
}
else {
this.rabbitTemplate.send(PARKING_LOT, failedMessage);
}
}
@Bean
public DirectExchange delayExchange() {
DirectExchange exchange = new DirectExchange(DELAY_EXCHANGE);
exchange.setDelayed(true);
return exchange;
}
@Bean
public Binding bindOriginalToDelay() {
return BindingBuilder.bind(new Queue(ORIGINAL_QUEUE)).to(delayExchange()).with(ORIGINAL_QUEUE);
}
@Bean
public Queue parkingLot() {
return new Queue(PARKING_LOT);
}
}Partitioned Destinations
With partitioned destinations, there is one DLQ for all partitions. We determine the original queue from the headers.
[[republishtodlq=false]]
=== republishToDlq=false
When republishToDlq is false, RabbitMQ publishes the message to the DLX/DLQ with an x-death header containing information about the original destination, as shown in the following example:
@SpringBootApplication
public class ReRouteDlqApplication {
private static final String ORIGINAL_QUEUE = "so8400in.so8400";
private static final String DLQ = ORIGINAL_QUEUE + ".dlq";
private static final String PARKING_LOT = ORIGINAL_QUEUE + ".parkingLot";
private static final String X_DEATH_HEADER = "x-death";
private static final String X_RETRIES_HEADER = "x-retries";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(ReRouteDlqApplication.class, args);
System.out.println("Press enter to exit");
System.in.read();
context.close();
}
@Autowired
private RabbitTemplate rabbitTemplate;
@RabbitListener(queues = DLQ)
public void rePublish(Message failedMessage) {
Map<String, Object> headers = failedMessage.getMessageProperties().getHeaders();
Integer retriesHeader = (Integer) headers.get(X_RETRIES_HEADER);
if (retriesHeader == null) {
retriesHeader = Integer.valueOf(0);
}
if (retriesHeader < 3) {
headers.put(X_RETRIES_HEADER, retriesHeader + 1);
List<Map<String, ?>> xDeath = (List<Map<String, ?>>) headers.get(X_DEATH_HEADER);
String exchange = (String) xDeath.get(0).get("exchange");
List<String> routingKeys = (List<String>) xDeath.get(0).get("routing-keys");
this.rabbitTemplate.send(exchange, routingKeys.get(0), failedMessage);
}
else {
this.rabbitTemplate.send(PARKING_LOT, failedMessage);
}
}
@Bean
public Queue parkingLot() {
return new Queue(PARKING_LOT);
}
}[[republishtodlq=true]]
=== republishToDlq=true
When republishToDlq is true, the republishing recoverer adds the original exchange and routing key to headers, as shown in the following example:
@SpringBootApplication
public class ReRouteDlqApplication {
private static final String ORIGINAL_QUEUE = "so8400in.so8400";
private static final String DLQ = ORIGINAL_QUEUE + ".dlq";
private static final String PARKING_LOT = ORIGINAL_QUEUE + ".parkingLot";
private static final String X_RETRIES_HEADER = "x-retries";
private static final String X_ORIGINAL_EXCHANGE_HEADER = RepublishMessageRecoverer.X_ORIGINAL_EXCHANGE;
private static final String X_ORIGINAL_ROUTING_KEY_HEADER = RepublishMessageRecoverer.X_ORIGINAL_ROUTING_KEY;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(ReRouteDlqApplication.class, args);
System.out.println("Press enter to exit");
System.in.read();
context.close();
}
@Autowired
private RabbitTemplate rabbitTemplate;
@RabbitListener(queues = DLQ)
public void rePublish(Message failedMessage) {
Map<String, Object> headers = failedMessage.getMessageProperties().getHeaders();
Integer retriesHeader = (Integer) headers.get(X_RETRIES_HEADER);
if (retriesHeader == null) {
retriesHeader = Integer.valueOf(0);
}
if (retriesHeader < 3) {
headers.put(X_RETRIES_HEADER, retriesHeader + 1);
String exchange = (String) headers.get(X_ORIGINAL_EXCHANGE_HEADER);
String originalRoutingKey = (String) headers.get(X_ORIGINAL_ROUTING_KEY_HEADER);
this.rabbitTemplate.send(exchange, originalRoutingKey, failedMessage);
}
else {
this.rabbitTemplate.send(PARKING_LOT, failedMessage);
}
}
@Bean
public Queue parkingLot() {
return new Queue(PARKING_LOT);
}
}
