When I run the Outbound Channel Adapter example for MQTT it throws an error:

The failing code in MqttJavaApplication.java file is copied below:

        ConfigurableApplicationContext context =

                        .web(false)

        MyGateway gateway = context.getBean(MyGateway.class);
        gateway.sendToMqtt("foo"); // THROWS THE ABOVE EXCEPTION
    }

    @Bean
    public MqttPahoClientFactory mqttClientFactory() {
        DefaultMqttPahoClientFactory factory = new DefaultMqttPahoClientFactory();
        factory.setServerURIs("tcp://localhost:1883");
        return factory;
    }

    @Bean
    @ServiceActivator(inputChannel = "mqttOutboundChannel")
    public MessageHandler mqttOutbound() {
        MqttPahoMessageHandler messageHandler =
                       new MqttPahoMessageHandler("testClient", mqttClientFactory());
        messageHandler.setAsync(true);
        messageHandler.setDefaultTopic("testTopic");
        return messageHandler;
    }

    @Bean
    public MessageChannel mqttOutboundChannel() {
        return new DirectChannel();
    }

    @MessagingGateway(defaultRequestChannel = "mqttOutboundChannel")
    public interface MyGateway {
        void sendToMqtt(String data);
    }
}

and it seems to be an MQTT client anyway...

How to implement an MQTT server (broker) as a Bean for Java Spring Integration, where to start please?

Gary Russell

Spring Integration does not provide a broker; it provides clients for sending/receiving messages.
