[rabbitmq-discuss] same routing key for multiple queue bindings in multiple exchanges

Thu Nov 4 11:11:20 GMT 2010

Hello 

I just wanted to confirm an "issue" I just discovered.

It looks to me that routing keys must be unique in the entire broker. We
use the same routing-key-name for two queue bindings.

channel.queueBind("queue1", "exchange_a", "routing_key");
channel.queueBind("queue2", "exchange_b", "routing_key");

The request we send to the "routing_key" gets sometimes picked up also
by "queue2", although we say "exchange_a" in the basicPublish command.

channel.basicPublish("exchange_a", "routing_key", props, body);

So is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks,
Adrian
