# Configuring a Global Error Handler for @RabbitListener s
This sample demonstrates how to add a global error handler to `@RabbitListener` methods.
It uses an auto-delete queue that will be removed after the demo completes.
The error handler is the same as the default (`ConditionalRejectingErrorHandler`) but with a custom `FatalExceptionStrategy`
that extends the default and logs the failed message.
NOTE: Such a simple handler is not generally needed since the framework will log the failed message itself; for a real
application, some additional action might be taken, for example write the bad message to a database.
A JSON message converter is used; the sample sends one "good" message, and one bad one, which fails message conversion.
Message conversion is considered fatal and the message is not requeued.
It is a Spring Boot application and can be run with normal boot run methods, e.g.: `./mvnw spring-boot:run`
