No. The first parameter is the name of the exchange to publish to - in 
this case "" means the default exchange, which always routes to the 
named queue. See 
http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-java-client/v3.1.5/rabbitmq-java-client-javadoc-3.1.5/com/rabbitmq/client/Channel.html#basicPublish(java.lang.String, 
java.lang.String, com.rabbitmq.client.AMQP.BasicProperties, byte[])
