Hello

I recently upgraded my Rabbitmq version from 3.11.5 to 4.0.5.
However, when connecting, the following exception occurs.

Is the cause because Rabbitmq version 4 uses AMQP 1.0 by default?

Is there any way to solve this problem other than using RabbitMQ AMQP 1.0 Java client?

Thanks in advance for your reply

Spring boot: 3.2.13
spring-amqp: 3.1.8
spring-rabbit: 3.1.8

This is unrelated to AMQP 1.0.

The maximum message size went down to 16 MiB in RabbitMQ 4.0. See "Default Maximum Message Size Reduced to 16 MiB" in the 4.0 release notes for more information.

The logs report a message body of over 1 GB, this is by no means the kind of message size brokers like RabbitMQ are designed for. You should review the design of your system.

RabbitMQ 4.0 does support AMQP 1.0 "natively" (no plugin needed), but this does not change anything for client applications: they negotiate the version of the protocol they want to use at connection time. See the blog post for more information.

Your stack trace does not correlate with your versioning:

AbstractConnectionFactory.createBareConnection(AbstractConnectionFactory.java:557) ~[spring-rabbit-3.0.8.jar:3.0.8]

Please, consider to upgrade to latest supported Spring AMQP version: https://spring.io/projects/spring-amqp#learn.

I didn’t test the old version of the library with RabbitMQ 4.0.

Is there any official claim that RabbitMQ 4.0 comes with AMQP 1.0 by default?

Thanks for your replay.

I know that RabbitMQ is not intended to deliver large messages. So I set max_message_size to 16MiB.

However, when I run the application and try to connect to RabbitMQ for the first time, the above error occurs. There is only a vhost and exchange in RabbitMQ, no queue, and no message.
The error does not occur in RabbitMQ 3.11.5, which was previously used.

Is there cause for suspicion?

acogoluegnes Feb 21, 2025

Can you take a wire capture?

This is indeed when the connection starts, so I suspect the client does not read what it expects, that is the size of the incoming frame. That would explain the ridiculously high number it reports.

I don't see anything suspicious in the configuration you provided. The broker logs would be useful, as well as the output of the rabbitmqctl status command.

Some remarks from those logs:

spring-rabbit-3.1.8

Brings us the mentioned in logs amqp-client-5.19.0.
While our policy does not allow us to upgrade to a new minor in our patch version , it is worth a shot to try your project with the latest : https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.rabbitmq/amqp-client/5.25.0.
As I said before: I tested Spring AMQP 3.2 with RabbitMQ 4.0 with no issues. This one comes with amqp-client-5.24.0.

Well, just tested Spring AMQP 3.1.x branch against RabbitMQ 4.0.6 - all tests have passed without any changes.
Any chances that you can share a simple project which fails?

@acogoluegnes @artembilan
First of all, thank you so much for leaving a reply to help. As acogoluegnes commented, I identified the network packets through Wireshark.

Among them, we confirmed that 400 BadRequest was returned from the LB in front of RabbitMQ.

So, I solved the problem through the network manager and confirmed that the connection was working properly.

Thank you again for your help in resolving the issue.
