Spring Boot with RabbitMQ failed to initialize

I am implementing a JMS client for a RabbitMQ server and I have the following Spring Boot config class.

@Configuration
public class JmsConfig {

    private static String EXCHANGE_NAME = "exchange";

    @Autowired
    private ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;


    @Bean
    RabbitAdmin rabbitAdmin(ConnectionFactory connectionFactory) {
        return new RabbitAdmin(connectionFactory);
    }

    @Bean
    Queue queue(RabbitAdmin rabbitAdmin) {
        return rabbitAdmin.declareQueue();
    }

    @Bean
    FanoutExchange exchange() {
        return new FanoutExchange(EXCHANGE_NAME);
    }

    @Bean
    Binding binding(Queue queue, FanoutExchange exchange) {
        Binding binding = BindingBuilder.bind(queue).to(exchange);
        return binding;
    }
}

Highlight that in the RabbitMQ server the exchange already exists but the queue connected to the exchange should be created dynamically by the client(that's the intention) when I run it.

When I start the client app I get the following stacktrace:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'queue' defined in class path resource [com/optimusbet/jms/JmsConfig.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.amqp.core.Queue]: Factory method 'queue' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.amqp.UncategorizedAmqpException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Invalid configuration: 'exchange' must be non-null.

Any ideas of what's going wrong in the initialization? Thanks in advance.

You don't need to declare the queue with the admin - and in fact you should never interact with the broker in a bean definition. The context is not fully baked yet.

You just need...

@Bean
Queue queue() {
    return new AnonymousQueue();
}

... you can't use broker-named queues here.

Also, this is not a "JMS" client, it's a RabbitMQ client.

EDIT

@SpringBootApplication
public class So42328067Application {

    private static final String FANOUT = "fanout";

    private static final String QUEUE = "foo";

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(So42328067Application.class, args);
        context.getBean(RabbitTemplate.class).convertAndSend(FANOUT, "", "bar");
        Thread.sleep(5000);
        context.close();
    }

    @Bean
    public Queue queue() {
        return new Queue(QUEUE);
    }

    @Bean
    public FanoutExchange exchange() {
        return new FanoutExchange(FANOUT);
    }

    @Bean
    public Binding binding() {
        return BindingBuilder.bind(queue()).to(exchange());
    }

    @RabbitListener(queues = QUEUE)
    public void listen(String in) {
        System.out.println(in);
    }

}
