[FIXED] How to get Spring RabbitMQ to create a new Queue?

Issue

In my (limited) experience with rabbit-mq, if you create a new listener for a queue that doesn't exist yet, the queue is automatically created. I'm trying to use the Spring AMQP project with rabbit-mq to set up a listener, and I'm getting an error instead. This is my xml config:

<rabbit:connection-factory id="rabbitConnectionFactory" host="172.16.45.1" username="test" password="password" />

<rabbit:listener-container connection-factory="rabbitConnectionFactory"  >
    <rabbit:listener ref="testQueueListener" queue-names="test" />
</rabbit:listener-container>

<bean id="testQueueListener" class="com.levelsbeyond.rabbit.TestQueueListener"> 
</bean>

I get this in my RabbitMq logs:

=ERROR REPORT==== 3-May-2013::23:17:24 ===
connection <0.1652.0>, channel 1 - soft error:
{amqp_error,not_found,"no queue 'test' in vhost '/'",'queue.declare'}

And a similar error from AMQP:

2013-05-03 23:17:24,059 ERROR [org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer] (SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor-1) - Consumer received fatal exception on startup
org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.listener.FatalListenerStartupException: Cannot prepare queue for listener. Either the queue doesn't exist or the broker will not allow us to use it.

It would seem from the stack trace that the queue is getting created in a "passive" mode- Can anyone point out how I would create the queue not using the passive mode so I don't see this error? Or am I missing something else?

Solution

What seemed to resolve my issue was adding an admin. Here is my xml:

<rabbit:listener-container connection-factory="rabbitConnectionFactory"  >
    <rabbit:listener ref="orderQueueListener" queues="test.order" />
</rabbit:listener-container>

<rabbit:queue name="test.order"></rabbit:queue>

<rabbit:admin id="amqpAdmin" connection-factory="rabbitConnectionFactory"/>

<bean id="orderQueueListener" class="com.levelsbeyond.rabbit.OrderQueueListener">   
</bean>
