Research direction

Start with the ServiceBusQueueTrigger annotation and the ServiceBusQueueHandler.execute method shown in the issue, then reproduce the local deployment using the listed Azure Functions and Spring Boot setup. Trace why the String message is null even though the trigger executes; done means the handler receives and logs the published queue message locally.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area:java-functions

When I deploy an Azure Function locally using Spring Boot and spring-cloud-function-adapter-azure library. I was able to build, package and deploy the Function Application locally.
I have installed:

  1. Azure CLI version 2.16
  2. Azure Function CLI (func) version 3.0.31
  3. .NET SDK 3.1.404
  4. Also installed Azurite V3 Visual Studio Code extension for local blob storage connection string

I have executed func settings add AzureWebJobsStorage "useDevelopmentStorage=$true" to utilize local blob storage, AzureServiceBusConnection connecction string as "Endpoint-sb://my-service-bus-server.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=Root;SharedAccessKey=xyz;, FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION as 2, FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME as java, MAIN_CLASS as Spring Boot Application Main Classname.

The Function Application starts properly I have deployed 2 functions (1) HttpTrigger and (2) ServiceBusQueueTrigger. HttpTrigger works properly but when I publish a message to the Queue to which I have configured ServiceBusQueueTrigger the trigger gets executed properly but the message is always null. This is the stack-trace as given below:

See line #18 which logs the JMS message as received by Function and it show null all the time. The actual Java Class is as given below

public class ServiceBusQueueHandler extends AzureSpringBootRequestHandler<String, Void> {
@FunctionName("orders")
public Void execute(@ServiceBusQueueTrigger(name = "orders", queueName = "eas_queue",
connection = "AzureServiceBusConnection")
final String message, final ExecutionContext context) {
context.getLogger().info("Message is received: " + message);
return handleRequest(message, context);
}
}

Do we have a solution to execute Service Bus Queue Triggers locally ?
