Bind RabbitMQ consumer using Spring Cloud Stream to an existing queue

So for now, the work-around that Garry Russell suggested has solved the issue for me.

I've used @RabbitListener instead of @StreamListenet this way:
@RabbitListener(bindings = @QueueBinding(value = @Queue(value = "TX.Q1", durable = "true"), exchange = @Exchange(value = "TX", type = "topic", durable = "true"), key = "rk1").

As a result, the predefined queue TX.Q1 is bind with binding key : rk1 to the exchange TX.

Waiting for updates on the Spring Cloud Steream issue.

I think I found the solution using the @StreamListener, not using the workaround. Everything is made in the configuration, not in the code.

The configuration I used is the following (it's in .yml, but you can easly translate it in .properties):

spring:
  cloud:
    stream:
      bindings:
        input:
          binder: <binder_name>
          destination: TX
          group: Q1
      binders:
        <binder_name>:
          type: rabbit
          environment:
            spring:
              rabbitmq:
                host: <host>
                port: <port>
                virtual-host: <vhost>
                username: <username>
                password: <password>
      rabbit:
        bindings:
          input:
            consumer:
              binding-routing-key: rk1
              exchange-name: TX
              queue-name-group-only: true
              bind-queue: true
              exchange-durable: true
              exchange-type: topic

Using this approach, you don't have to write a particular code to let the RabbitMQ consumer connect to your cluster, this should solve your case.

Hope this helps.
