How to deal with JSON message with spring-rabbit in spring boot application?

Question

Here are my code snippets.

• MQConfiguration class for configuration

  @Configuration
  public class MQConfiguration {
      @Bean
      public Receiver receiver() {
          return new Receiver();
      }
  }
  

• Receiver class for dealing with receiving messages

  @RabbitListener(queues = "testMQ")
  public class Receiver {
  
      @RabbitHandler
      public void receive(Message msg){
          System.out.println(msg.toString());
      }
  }
  

• And here is the JSON message I sent to the RabbitMQ

  {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "My Name",
      "description": "This is description about me"
  }
  

However I got following error message when I ran my application.

2017-02-28 17:16:35.931  WARN 11828 --- [cTaskExecutor-1] s.a.r.l.ConditionalRejectingErrorHandler : Execution of Rabbit message listener failed.

So what should I do if all I want is to print the JSON message in receive() method? I'd really appreciate that anyone can shed a light on this. :)

If you use Spring Boot, you just need to configure:

@Bean
public MessageConverter jsonMessageConverter() {
    return new Jackson2JsonMessageConverter();
}

Otherwise you have to configure:

@Bean
public SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory rabbitListenerContainerFactory() {
    SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory factory = new SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory();
...
    factory.setMessageConverter(new Jackson2JsonMessageConverter());
...
    return factory;
}
