It's my understanding that if an invalid routing key is provided, the message wouldn't route anywhere and the message should return to the client since it fail to route to a queue.  I just don't understand how to implement that in the java code.

Publishing is asynchronous, so is returning of messages to the client.
You need to register a handler for returned messages. This can be used in combination
with publisher confirms, as necessary.

See http://www.rabbitmq.com/api-guide.html, “Handling unroutable messages”.
