Description
There doesn't seem to be a way to have the producer declare an exchange or a queue. The following route demonstrates this problem:
from("stream:in?promptMessage=Enter message payload: ")
.to("rabbitmq://<server>:<port>/direct?queue=defect&username=guest&password=guest");
There also is no way for the producer to use the default exchange, (which has no name). You cannot set an exchange name as a header with an empty string, and specifying 'direct' on the exchange uri also doesn't work. However, the consumer appears to work and will declare at least queues, even on the default exchange.
The producer appears to only work with previously declared exchanges and queues, which isn't practical, especially in recovery situations, since you cannot guarantee the order things will start (producer vs. consumer) and the producer doesn't attempt any type of re-delivery in the case that the exchange/queue doesn't exist, nor does it indicate via logging or exceptions that there is a problem with delivery.
In Rabbit, creating exchanges and queues are both idempotent operations, so it wouldn't hurt to call the methods to declare the exchange and queue, regardless of whether they previously existed. If you set up an endpoint to a non-existent queue and want to use the default direct exchange, you can't do that with this component.
If an exchange and queue are created outside the component, (say by a consumer or using rabbitmq management console) then the producer works correctly.
