Web Service to Allow Web Service interface to RabbitMQ

This module is designed to provide a simple web interface to allow a test client, such as Postman, or SoapUI to send messages to an RabbitMQ instance.

It is a spring boot application.

  rabbitmq:
    host: rabbitmqhost
    port: rabbitmqport (5672)
    username: rabbitvhostusername
    password: rabbitvhostuserpassword
    listener:
      simple:
        missing-queues-fatal: true
    virtual-host: vhostvalue
