public class CorrelatingMessageBarrier
extends AbstractMessageHandler
implements MessageSource<Object>
This Endpoint serves as a barrier for messages that should not be processed yet. The decision when a message can be processed is delegated to a ReleaseStrategy. When a message can be processed it is up to the client to take care of the locking (potentially from the ReleaseStrategy's canRelease(..) method).

This class differs from AbstractCorrelatingMessageHandler in that it completely decouples the receiver and the sender. It can be applied in scenarios where completion of a message group is not well defined but only a certain amount of messages for any given correlation key may be processed at a time.

The messages will be stored in a MessageStore for each correlation key.
