Method Detail

handleMessage

public void handleMessage(Message<?> message)
                   throws MessagingException

Description copied from interface: MessageHandler

Handles the message if possible. If the handler cannot deal with the message this will result in a MessageRejectedException e.g. in case of a Selective Consumer. When a consumer tries to handle a message, but fails to do so, a MessageHandlingException is thrown. In the last case it is recommended to treat the message as tainted and go into an error scenario.

When the handling results in a failure of another message being sent (e.g. a "reply" message), that failure will trigger a MessageDeliveryException.

Specified by:

handleMessage in interface MessageHandler

Parameters:

message - the message to be handled

Throws:

MessageRejectedException - if the handler doesn't accept the message

MessageHandlingException - when something fails during the handling

MessageDeliveryException - when this handler failed to deliver the reply related to the handling of the message

MessagingException

protected abstract void validateResponse(java.lang.Object response)

Parameters:

response -

extractPayload

protected abstract boolean extractPayload()

If true will extract the payload as the parameter for validateResponse()

Returns:

true to extract the payload; false to process the message.
