Error handling in Spring RabbitMQ - spring-mvc

Question

I am trying to integrate Rabbit MQ broker in our Spring application. I am able to consume messages successfully but need to add Error handling.
Listener consumes the message and apply business logic to it, which include DB writes. The Business logic can throw exception.
In case of these exceptions I need to
Rollback the Db writes.
Write to error table in Db, indicating msg failure.
Message should not be re-queued.
For
requirement #1 - have added txManager in config.xml and annotated the Listner.listen() method with #Transactional
requirement #2 - have added Error handler and custom implementation of DefaultExceptionStrategey
requirement #3 - have set DefaultRequeueRejected=false
But when BusinessRuntimeException is thrown from Listener, ErrorHandler is not getting invoked.
Don't know what is missing.
Is errorHandler invoked only for some Exceptions?
Config.xml
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="txManager" />
<bean id="txManager"
class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
<property name="allowCustomIsolationLevels" value="true" />
<rabbit:connection-factory id="rabbitConnectionFactory"/>
<rabbit:template id="rabbitTemplate" connection-
factory="rabbitConnectionFactory" message-converter="jsonMessageConverter"
channel-transacted="true"/>
<rabbit:admin id="rabbitAdmin" connection-factory="rabbitConnectionFactory"/>
RabbitMQConfiguration.java
#Configuration
#EnableRabbit
public class RabbitMqConfiguration {
#Autowired
private ConnectionFactory rabbitConnectionFactory;
#Autowired
private MessageConverter jsonMessageConverter;
#Bean
public SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory exportPartyListenerContainer() {
SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory listenerContainer = new SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory();
listenerContainer.setConnectionFactory(rabbitConnectionFactory);
listenerContainer.setMessageConverter(jsonMessageConverter);
listenerContainer.setAcknowledgeMode(AcknowledgeMode.AUTO);
listenerContainer.setChannelTransacted(true);
listenerContainer.setDefaultRequeueRejected(false);
listenerContainer.setErrorHandler(errorHandler());
return listenerContainer;
}
#Bean
public ErrorHandler errorHandler() {
return new ConditionalRejectingErrorHandler(new ExceptionStrategy());
} }
ExceptionStrategy.java
public class ExceptionStrategy extends DefaultExceptionStrategy {
#Autowired
private Dao daoBean;
#Override
public boolean isFatal(Throwable t) {
if (t instanceof BusinessRuntimeException) {
BusinessRuntimeException businessException = (BusinessRuntimeException) t;
//db call
daoBean.updateRecordStaus();
return true;
}
if (t instanceof ListenerExecutionFailedException) {
ListenerExecutionFailedException lefe = (ListenerExecutionFailedException) t;
logger.error(
"Failed to process inbound message from queue " + lefe.getFailedMessage().getMessageProperties().getConsumerQueue()
+ "; failed message: " + lefe.getFailedMessage(),
t);
}
return super.isFatal(t);
}}

wrap your BusinessRuntimeException into a RuntimeException.
catch(BusinessRuntimeException e)
{
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
