so I have been following this tutorial: http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-six-java.html, but I cant get it to work with a direct exchange.

Can someone help me out please by modifying the code so that it works with a direct exchange.

My objective: the user can chose which machine to send to, When they choose i want to bind to that machine and just send it to that machine. But it doesn't seem to be working when i change the queue declare to exchange declare. Any help would be greatly appriciated!!!

Thanks

Matteo

In RabbitMQ you publish messages to exchanges, so the code you are seeing in the tutorial: channel.basicPublish("", "rpc_queue", props, message.getBytes());, means: send a message to the exchange "", using routing key "rpc_queue". That's the default or anon exchange discussed in tutorial one.

So if you want to send a message to a direct exchange, just change the empty exchange name for your exchange name.

Now, why do you want to do it that way? Why can't you instead of declaring an "rpc_queue", you declare a queue per machine, and address them by their names, in basicPublish?
