Exception in handleMessage(..) appears to cause Consumer to stop listening to messages

[jaGarcia]

I'm confused as to why I'm not seeing the behavior of the message being put back onto the queue and retried indefinitely since I have retry = true inside the static rabbitConfig config map...I also has autoAck set to AutoAck.POST and transacted = true... It looks like a patch for a previous version was related to connections being dropped on a Hibernate Exception but I don't see any log messages indicated a dropped connection and I'm testing this with simple Exception or RuntimeException classes..

To clarify, once this stack occurs on a Consumer, that Consumer won't pull any other messages off the queue.
