Embedding message destinations within messages

In this example, we show how to use a single publish to send a message with multiple routing keys. The standard AMQP doesn't provide this feature but luckily, RabbitMQ does so using a message properties header. This extension is called sender-selected distribution.

The behavior of the extension is similar to e-mail logics. It uses Carbon Copy (CC) and Blind Carbon Copy (BCC). This is the reason you will find CC and BCC consumers in the source code, located in Chapter02/Recipe09/Java/src/rmqexample:

  • Producer.java
  • Consumer.java
  • StatsConsumer.java
  • CCStatsConsumer.java
  • BCCStatsConsumer.java

Getting ready

To use this recipe, we need to set up the Java development environment as indicated in the Introduction
