Class UnicastingDispatcher

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.integration.dispatcher.AbstractDispatcher
      org.springframework.integration.dispatcher.UnicastingDispatcher

All Implemented Interfaces:

MessageDispatcher

public class UnicastingDispatcher
extends AbstractDispatcher

Implementation of MessageDispatcher that will attempt to send a Message to at most one of its handlers. The handlers will be tried as determined by the LoadBalancingStrategy if one is configured. As soon as one of the handlers accepts the Message, the dispatcher will return true and ignore the rest of its handlers.

If the dispatcher has no handlers, a MessageDeliveryException will be thrown. If all handlers throw Exceptions, the dispatcher will throw an AggregateMessageDeliveryException.

A load-balancing strategy may be provided to this class to control the order in which the handlers will be tried.

Since:

1.0.2
