public class ExecutorChannel
extends AbstractSubscribableChannel

An implementation of MessageChannel that delegates to an instance of UnicastingDispatcher which in turn delegates all dispatching invocations to an Executor.

NOTE: unlike DirectChannel, the ExecutorChannel does not support a shared transactional context between sender and handler, because the Executor typically does not block the sender's Thread since it uses another Thread for the dispatch. (SyncTaskExecutor is an exception but would provide no value for this channel. If synchronous dispatching is required, a DirectChannel should be used instead).

Since:

1.0.3

ExecutorChannel

public ExecutorChannel(Executor executor)

Create an ExecutorChannel that delegates to the provided Executor when dispatching Messages.

The Executor must not be null.

ExecutorChannel

public ExecutorChannel(Executor executor,
                       LoadBalancingStrategy loadBalancingStrategy)

Create an ExecutorChannel with a LoadBalancingStrategy that delegates to the provided Executor when dispatching Messages.

The Executor must not be null.

Method Detail

setFailover

public void setFailover(boolean failover)

Specify whether the channel's dispatcher should have failover enabled. By default, it will. Set this value to 'false' to disable it.

getDispatcher

protected UnicastingDispatcher getDispatcher()

Specified by:

getDispatcher in class AbstractSubscribableChannel

onInit

public final void onInit()

Description copied from class: IntegrationObjectSupport

Subclasses may implement this for initialization logic.
