[rabbitmq-discuss] queueDeclarePassive Shutting down the channel

Sun Feb 13 01:49:43 GMT 2011

Hi Max,

Attempting to declare a non existent queue (even if you do so passively)
causes a not-found exception, which is a soft-error that takes down the
channel.

If you really want to use *declarePassive, you should wrap it in a
try...catch and handle the exception somehow.

As a rule, you shouldn't need to use *declarePassive.  The *declare
operations are idempotent, so you'd normally just declare the resource
before using it (i.e. open channel, declare the queue, publish to it,
close channel).

Cheers,
Alex
