Does RabbitMQ check message integrity when delivered on consumer side? - rabbitmq

I'm new to RabbitMQ,
just went over the documentation but didn't find any mechanism on checking message integrity. Message consumption acknowledgment only checks delivered or not but what if the message payload is contaminated. Or is it supported by AMQP protocol?
Thanks in advance!

RabbitMQ does not modify the message contents, nor does it perform integrity checks. It would be up to the publishing and consuming applications to do this. I suggest computing a checksum and adding it as a message header.
NOTE: the RabbitMQ team monitors the rabbitmq-users mailing list and only sometimes answers questions on StackOverflow.

what is exactly Publisher confirms in Rabbitmq?

I read the official document of Rabbitmq, it is not really clear for me what was that?
its something like Consumer Ack but with a difference that the Publisher Confirm is send by rabbitmq server to Publisher client when the server get the message from publisher client?
Can someone explain more about it?
thanks in advance.

Yes. When you enable publisher confirms, and your publisher receives acknowledgement that the message is published, you can be certain of it.
Without publisher confirms, you can lose messages in several cases. One example: your application could publish the data to the TCP buffer, but then crash, or the server itself could crash. Another example: a network device could fail mid-delivery. Another example: RabbitMQ itself could crash after receiving the TCP data containing your message.

Can I know who send a certain message in RabbitMQ?

I've noticed that some apps send incorrect messages to a certain queue in RabbitMQ. Since lots of apps can access RabbitMQ in my environment, it's too difficult to identify the producers by reviewing codes.
Is there any way to find the producers? Do I need some monitoring tools?
Not without modifying the clients.
The AMQP protocol provides the app-id property exactly for that purpose. Message publishers should set the app-id when publishing messages to RabbitMQ so that consumers can infer the source of the message.

Is message lost when there's n/w issue while publishing the message to RabbitMQ?

I am using Spring AMQP to publish messages to RabbitMQ. Consider a scenario:
1. Java client sends a message to MQ usin amqpTemplate.convertAndSend()
2. But RabbitMQ is down OR there's some n/w issue
In this case the message will be lost? OR
Is there any way it'll be persisted and will be retried?
I checked the publish-confirm model as well but as I understood, ultimately we've to handle the nack messages through coding on our own.
The RabbitTemplate supports adding a RetryTemplate which can be configured whit whatever retry semantics you want. It will handle situations when the broker is down.
See Adding Retry Capabilities.
You can use a transaction or publisher confirms to ensure rabbit secured the message.

How to know in Objective C if a message is already sent to the rabbitmq server?

I am using rabbitmq client (https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-objc-client). I wanted to notify whether or not a message is sent to the rabbitmq server, but I couldn't find anything related to whether or not the message is really sent.
Could someone tell me how to know if I publish a message to a queue and the message really arrives to the rabbitmq server?. Thanks in advance !

Publisher acknowledgments are on the amqp level, handled by RMQ itself. In the "API" level you may get a exception or a return value or some indication depends on the library.
Quote from the aforementioned link:
For unroutable messages, the broker will issue a confirm once the
exchange verifies a message won't route to any queue (returns an empty
list of queues). If the message is also published as mandatory, the
basic.return is sent to the client before basic.ack. The same is true
for negative acknowledgements (basic.nack).
For routable messages, the basic.ack is sent when a message has been
accepted by all the queues. For persistent messages routed to durable
queues, this means persisting to disk. For mirrored queues, this means
that all mirrors have accepted the message.

Message Bridge - How to route messages from topic to queue - Glassfish

Is it possible to configure a message bridge for GlassFish? The message is currently posted to a topic, and customer requirement is to "redirect" this message from a topic to a queue. (both are on the same GlassFish server). By redirect, I mean, the message will be posted on the topic and then copied to the queue. I cannot find much documentation about this, I have read about Open MQ, JMS broker and JMS bridge, but this does not seem to fit this requirement.
I understand, that I can implement a topic subscriber and then post a message to queue. But I would like to know, if it is possible to do this just by configuration or do I have to implement a bridge?
Thanks for your help, I do appreciate it.

You'll need to implement a bridge... or change the submitter to submit to both the queue and the topic.
