Java – Retrieving number of unacknowledged messages in RabbitMQ queue from Java/ Spring

is there any way to return the number of messages that are unacknowledged?

I am using this code to get the number of messages in the queue:

DeclareOk declareOk = amqpAdmin.getRabbitTemplate().execute(
        new ChannelCallback<DeclareOk>() {
            public DeclareOk doInRabbit(Channel channel)
                throws Exception {
                return channel.queueDeclarePassive(name);
            }
        });
return declareOk.getMessageCount();

but I would like to know as well the number of unacknowledged messages.

I have seen that the RabbitMQ Admin tool includes that information (for each queue it gives out the number of Ready/ Unacked and Total messages) and I guess there must be a way to retrieve that from Java/ Spring.

Thanks

UPDATE

Oks, it seems there is no way to accomplish that programmatically since listing of configuration/ queues is not part of AMPQ.

There is the possibility to enable the management plugin and query the REST web services about the queues (among other things). More info here:
