Spring messaging configuration

Before we start with the example, we need to understand the basic setup requirements to configure a messaging application. We will create a RabbitMQ messaging application and go through the different parts of the configuration. The following steps are involved in setting up messaging in Spring application:

1. Configure a Maven dependency for RabbitMQ
2. Configure RabbitMQ
3. Create a component to send and receive messages

Configuring a Maven dependency for RabbitMQ

Let's start with adding a dependency for RabbitMQ to pom.xml. The following code shows the dependency to be configured:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.amqp</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-rabbit</artifactId>
    <version>${rabbitmq.version}</version>
</dependency>

We have added the dependency for RabbitMQ. Now, let's create a class to configure the queue, exchange, and binding between them.

Now, we will go through the configuration...
