Sorry, I’ve switched to using the camel & rabbitmq-component version 2.17.3 (latest in maven central repo), and my initial issue does not exist with this version.
Now I have a slightly different question: from("rabbitmq://localhost/A?username=guest&password=guest&routingKey=B&threadPoolSize=1&autoAck=false") .process(new Processor() { @Override public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception { System.out.println("X: " + exchange.getIn().getBody(String.class)); exchange.getOut().setBody("Test X"); exchange.getOut().getHeaders().put(“key”, “val"); ** } }) .to("rabbitmq://localhost/C?username=guest&password=guest&routingKey=D&threadPoolSize=1&autoAck=false"); If you comment out the line with **, the message does not get sent to exchange C, as specified in the “to” endpoint, because: 1) in-message headers contain the exchange name and routing key of the consumer. 2) out-message headers copy the in-headers if no out-message header is set. 3) RabbitMQProducer.java (2.17.3), line 246 and 248 set the exchange name and routing key from the header, and ignore the producer URI configuration. I think the documentation suggests that this is the expected behaviour. But it would be more intuitive to set the exchange name and the routing key from the producer uri, rather than setting it from the in-message headers (which are not visible in code) and ignoring the producer configuration.
