Local deployment of Azure Service Bus Queue Trigger getting message as null

[mlakshminara]

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 ?

I used Apache Qpid libraries to publish messages to Queue using AMQPS protocol. I wanted to know whether publishing text message (Json text) to queue using AMQPS does it provide a null data in Azure Function trigger.

If I publish it as Bytes Message (same Json text as bytes) then am able to get the data in Azure Function properly. Is this a constraint while using AMQPS protocol

I can confirm from personal experience: I was publishing a string containing xml by using spring jms template, that leads to a message with extra prefix chars being stored in the queue. When the function get triggered the message in this case is always null.
For the publishing I switched to com.azure:azure-messaging-servicebus; when the message is correct the trigger works.
