Getting java.net.SocketException: Connection reset error on RabbitMQ connection using JDK1.7

Question

JDK Version

• 1.7

RabbitMQ:

AWS RabbitMQ - amqps protocol

Java Client Maven:

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.rabbitmq</groupId>
        <artifactId>amqp-client</artifactId>
        <version>4.12.0</version>
    </dependency>

I am trying to create the RabbitMQ connection using the below code,

        //Establish the Rabbbit MQ connection;
        ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
        factory.setUsername(userName);
        factory.setPassword(password);
        factory.setHost(hostName);
        factory.setPort(5671);
        factory.useSslProtocol();
        connection = factory.newConnection();

But I am getting below error,

Can someone please help me to resolve this issue using the JDK 1.7? The same code is working in the Java 8.

Answer 1

If you take a look at the Java libraries for RabbitMQ, you can see that the minimum JDK version of all supported libraries is JDK version 8: That means that it'll only work with JDK version 8 (1.8) or higher.

Also, just some extra info, but Oracle is also dropping support for JDK 1.7 from july 2022 onwards. Meaning there won't be any security patches and bugfixes anymore.
