public class BridgeHandler
extends AbstractReplyProducingMessageHandler

A simple MessageHandler implementation that passes the request Message directly to the output channel without modifying it. The main purpose of this handler is to bridge a PollableChannel to a SubscribableChannel or vice-versa.

The BridgeHandler can be used as a stopper at the end of an assembly line of channels. In this setup the output channel doesn't have to be set, but if the output channel is omitted the REPLY_CHANNEL MUST be set on the message. Otherwise, a MessagingException will be thrown at runtime.

handleRequestMessage

protected java.lang.Object handleRequestMessage(Message<?> requestMessage)

Description copied from class: AbstractReplyProducingMessageHandler

Subclasses must implement this method to handle the request Message. The return value may be a Message, a MessageBuilder, or any plain Object. The base class will handle the final creation of a reply Message from any of those starting points. If the return value is null, the Message flow will end here.
