Spring rabbit does not allow overriding defaults in caching connection factory configuration : release 1.1.4 - rabbitmq

Question

I trying a spring amqp application to send JSON data as messages to a consumer (written in Ruby).
I get connection reset errors with any setting that I try
NOTE: I deleted the default guest user and added admin with the same privileges over default virtual host.
Here's the configuration:
<beans:bean id="cachingConnectionFactory"
class="org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.connection.CachingConnectionFactory">
<beans:property name="channelCacheSize" value="5" />
<beans:property name="username" value="admin" />
<beans:property name="password" value="admin" />
</beans:bean>
<rabbit:queue id='analytics.persistence.queue' name='analytics.persistence.queue' />
<rabbit:direct-exchange name="amq.direct">
<rabbit:bindings>
<rabbit:binding queue="analytics.persistence.queue">
</rabbit:binding>
</rabbit:bindings>
</rabbit:direct-exchange>
<rabbit:connection-factory id="cachingConnectionFactory" />
<rabbit:admin connection-factory="cachingConnectionFactory" />
<beans:bean id="rabbitTemplate"
class="org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.core.RabbitTemplate">
<beans:property name="connectionFactory" ref="cachingConnectionFactory" />
<beans:property name="exchange" value="amq.direct" />
<beans:property name="routingKey" value="analytics.persistence.queue"/>
</beans:bean>
<beans:bean id="analyticsMessageProducer"
class="hoodibaba.analytics.publish.AnalyticsPersistenceMessageProducer">
<beans:property name="rabbitTemplate" ref="rabbitTemplate" />
</beans:bean>
And in my producer class
public class AnalyticsPersistenceMessageProducer extends RabbitGatewaySupport implements
AnalyticsPersistenceMessageGateway {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AnalyticsPersistenceMessageProducer.class);
#Override
public void sendAnalyticsMessage(String jsonData) {
try {
getRabbitTemplate().convertAndSend("analytics.persistence.queue",jsonData);
} catch (AmqpException e) {
logger.error(e.getMessage());
logger.error("Exception Stacktrace",e);
logger.error("flushing JSON data to logs: " + jsonData);
}
}
}
I get a
com.rabbitmq.client.PossibleAuthenticationFailureException: Possibly
caused by authentication failure exception
the stack trace shows connection reset

The message consumer is as follows
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# encoding: UTF-8
require 'bunny'
conn = Bunny.new("amqp://admin:admin#localhost:5672")
conn.start
ch = conn.create_channel
puts 'channel created'
q = ch.queue("analytics.persistence.queue",:exclusive => false, :auto_delete => false)
x = ch.direct("amq.direct")
q.bind(x)
q.subscribe(:block => true, :ack => true) do |delivery_info, properties, payload|
puts "Received #{payload}, message properties are #{properties.inspect}"
end
ch.close
con.close
Update: it seems the updated username and password settings are not propagated, rabbit logs show my application still uses guest

The problem is in my configuration; caching connection factory is defined using both the beans namespace and rabbit namespcace, latter using the defaults. Changed to configuration to following and I do not get connection reset errors anymore
