SpringRestMessenger class is a REST controller which wires itself to listen on '/process' URI, or a custom configured URI (through 'com.clearlydecoded.messenger.endpoint.uri' property) and invokes the auto-discovered message processors which implement the MessageProcessor interface and are injected into the Spring Context either manually or by using Spring annotations such as Service, Component, etc.

Constructor Detail

SpringRestMessenger

public SpringRestMessenger(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext springContext)

Constructor.

Use this constructor unless your application needs direct access to the MessageProcessorRegistry. (Hint: in majority of cases, you don't need MessageProcessorRegistry to be available directly in the Spring Context.

Parameters:

springContext - Spring Application Context.

SpringRestMessenger

public SpringRestMessenger(MessageProcessorRegistry processorRegistry)

Constructor.

Use this constructor if you manually created MessageProcessorRegistry. Usually, you would want to do this if you manually injected MessageProcessorRegistry into Spring Context for some reason (e.g., you want to look up registered message processors in your own code, outside of SpringRestMessenger). To create a MessageProcessorRegistry populated with automatically discovered message processors, use the SpringMessageProcessorRegistryFactory class.

Parameters:

processorRegistry - Message processor registry used to look up message processors based on the type identifier of a message received through the REST call.
