[rabbitmq-discuss] SimpleConsumer EOFException

[Susheel Daswani]

Hey there!

I am using the RabbitMQ SimpleConsumer example to subscribe to a
message queue, but I am frequently seeing the following exception (I
have redacted the machine and queue information):

-------------
bash-3.2$ ./build/dist/runjava.sh com.rabbitmq.examples.SimpleConsumer
'amqp://****:****@****/****' '****'


Main thread caught exception:
com.rabbitmq.client.ShutdownSignalException: connection error; reason:
java.io.EOFException

Any ideas why this is occurring? Is this likely a problem with
SimpleConsumer or with the RabbitMQ?

Thanks!
