Annotation Type Publisher

@Target({METHOD,TYPE})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Publisher
Annotation to indicate that a method, or all public methods if applied at class-level, should publish Messages.

By default, the Message will be constructed from the return value of the method invocation and sent to a channel specified by the channel() attribute. However, a combination of both @Payload and @Header annotations can be used to further manage the message structure. See the reference manual for examples.

Note: unlike @Gateway, this annotation is used to generate an AOP Advice for an existing service and its method implementation. The message sending is a side effect of the real method invocation and is invoked after the method returns. The advised method(s) are not aware of the messaging interaction.

The XML equivalent is <int:publishing-interceptor>
