How to stop consuming message from selective queue - RabbitMQ - queue

Question

QueueingConsumer consumer = new QueueingConsumer(channel);
System.out.println(consumer.getConsumerTag());
channel.basicConsume("queue1", consumer);
channel.basicConsume("queue3", consumer);
Is it possible to stop consuming the messages from the queue "queue3" alone dynamically?

Answer 1

Yes you can, using channel.basicCancel(consumerTag);
EDIT
For example:
String tag3 = channel.basicConsume("queue3", consumer);
channel.basicCancel(tag3)
Here you can find a code that unsubscribe a consumer after 5 seconds:
String tag1 = channel.basicConsume(myQueue, autoAck, consumer);
String tag2 = channel.basicConsume(myQueue2, autoAck, consumer);
executorService.execute(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
Delivery delivery;
try {
delivery = consumer.nextDelivery();
String message = new String(delivery.getBody());
System.out.println("Received: " + message);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(TestMng.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
});
System.out.println("Consumers Ready");
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(TestMng.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
channel.basicCancel(tag2); /// here you remove only the Myqueue2
I hope it can be useful.
