RabbitMQ/Spring AMQP - Leave message in a queue

Question

I created a SpringBoot/Spring AMQP project where I configured a listener on a RabbitMQ queue. Question: Is there any way to leave the message in the queue? Let me explain: I consume the message and do some things (eg save on db), if something goes wrong I would like to be able to reconsume the message.

Thanks in advance

You need to think about configuring your listener container with transactions, so when DB call fails, the transaction is going to be rolled back and an AMQP message will not be acked on RabbitMQ.

See docs for more info: https://docs.spring.io/spring-amqp/docs/current/reference/html/#transactions
