Class AbstractDispatcher

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

MessageDispatcher

Direct Known Subclasses:

BroadcastingDispatcher, UnicastingDispatcher

public abstract class AbstractDispatcher
extends java.lang.Object
implements MessageDispatcher

Base class for MessageDispatcher implementations.

The subclasses implement the actual dispatching strategy, but this base class manages the registration of MessageHandlers. Although the implemented dispatching strategies may invoke handles in different ways (e.g. round-robin vs. failover), this class does maintain the order of the underlying collection. See the OrderedAwareLinkedHashSet for more detail.
