Rabbit MQ Java API or Spring AMQP templates?

[arun arun]

We decided to use Rabbit MQ for Asynchronous order processing over web. Our application stack - Java, Spring, Tomcat, MS SQL. 

Wondering if any of you have any suggestions on using RabbitMQ Java API vs Spring AMQP ?

Since our web application is built on Spring framework, I would think it would be better off using Spring AMQP, but I don't really see much documentation around it. Any of you have any experiences or suggestions to share? 

Thanks!

I am not sure what you mean by "don't really see much documentation around it." for Spring AMQP.

See the project page [1] and reference manual [2]. The project brings the familiar Spring programming model to RabbitMQ including a RabbitTemplate and message listener container (very similar to Spring JMS).

As with most Spring abstractions, it provides a higher level API, takes care of resource management, removes the need for boilerplate code, while allowing you to drop down to the native APIs if necessary.

You can, of course, use the APIs directly but it is common for existing Spring users to use the Spring AMQP APIs.

Spring AMQP implements several patterns on top of the Java client and provides a way to configure things "the Spring way". So see if you find those patterns suitable for you. Spring AMQP has a doc guide on spring.io.

Thanks Gary for your reply!

Since, ActiveMQ supports AMQP, Spring AMQP could be used to work with ActiveMQ too right?

I'm looking at the quick start code snippet here- http://projects.spring.io/spring-amqp/ and I see there is a RabbitTemplate that is used to send messages. How does this work in case of ActiveMQ? Use RabbitTemplate or other class?

Thanks!

[Gary Russell]

No; spring-amqp is a general abstraction; spring-rabbit is the (only) implementation. We don't have an ActiveMQ implementation.

I am experiencing the same problem in 2020 ! Dont really see enough resources for spring. Google is full of spring boot.

If you're already using Spring, I'd recommend Spring AMQP instead of the bare RabbitMQ Java client. There's nothing wrong with the Java client, but you'll find all the Spring patterns you must be familiar with with Spring AMQP (infrastructure configuration, annotation-based and POJO programming model, etc).

There are plenty of resources on Spring AMQP, start with the web page [1] and the reference manual [2].
