Spring Boot 1.4 - RabbitMQ Cannot override primary ConnectionFactory and create secondary ConnectionFactory

[chrisdadej]

Since upgrading to Spring Boot 1.4 I've noticed that all of my microservices that override the primary ConnectionFactory AND create a secondary ConnectionFactory stopped working due to a NoSuchBeanDefinitionException.

This works - not overriding the primary ConnectionFactory, just creating a secondary one

@Bean(name = "pcConnectionFactory")
ConnectionFactory pcConnectionFactory(RabbitProperties config) throws Exception {
  ..
}

This works - overriding the primary ConnectionFactory without a secondary one

@Bean
@Primary
ConnectionFactory connectionFactory(RabbitProperties config) throws Exception {
  ..
}

This fails - overriding the primary ConnectionFactory AND creating a secondary one

@Bean
@Primary
ConnectionFactory connectionFactory(RabbitProperties config) throws Exception {
  ..
}

@Bean(name = "pcConnectionFactory")
ConnectionFactory pcConnectionFactory(RabbitProperties config) throws Exception {
  ..
}

No bean named 'pcConnectionFactory' is defined

That doesn't sound legit to me. It looks like something is looking for a bean with that name and Spring Boot won't do that. Can you share a sample that reproduces the problem?

That doesn't sound legit to me

Couldn't agree more but after removing all references to pcConnectionFactory the same error kept coming up. I've created a really basic sample that reproduces the problem.

The zip file attachment here never works for me, so I've dropped the zip file with the sample here:
Location #1
Location #2

@chrisdadej all the Spring Cloud stuff is really polluting the sample. I've taken your class, added it to a Spring Boot 1.4 project created from start.spring.io and it didn't throw any issue. I think the issue is a bit more complicated. I can't reproduce and I have no idea where that lookup on your named connection factory is coming from. But it doesn't seem to be in Spring Boot.

Can you try to simplify your sample a bit? Maybe the issue is in another project.

[chrisdadej]

It looks like an incompatibility between Spring Boot 1.4 and Spring Cloud Brixton.
Switching out:

compile "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-bus-amqp:${springCloudStarterVersion}"

for:

compile "org.springframework.amqp:spring-rabbit:1.6.1.RELEASE"

works as expected.

I'm assuming you were able to replicate the issue as is with my sample? You just weren't able to replicate it after taking out the Spring Cloud components.

I can post this to the Spring Cloud team for them to have a look at but there's definitely been a change made in 1.4 that isn't backwards compatible.
