Ah yes, I forgot those methods aren't in the Connection/Channel 
interfaces (as they are for the .Net client). You can find them in the 
implementation classes AMQConnection and AMQChannel though.

This is an area we are planning to revise in a future release, probably 
by following the example of the .Net client.

You should be able to override Consumer.handleShutdownSignal(String, 
ShutdownSignalException), which ought to get called when the connection 
or channel are shut down.
