Interface EndpointAdapter

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractMethodEndpointAdapter, DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter, GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter, MarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter, MessageEndpointAdapter, MessageMethodEndpointAdapter, PayloadEndpointAdapter, PayloadMethodEndpointAdapter, XPathParamAnnotationMethodEndpointAdapter
public interface EndpointAdapter
Interface that must be implemented for each endpoint type to handle a message request. This interface is used to allow the MessageDispatcher to be indefinitely extensible. It accesses all installed endpoints through this interface, meaning that is does not contain code specific to any endpoint type.

This interface is not intended for application developers. It is available for those who want to develop their own message flow.

      endpoint - endpoint object to check
      Returns:
      true if this EndpointAdapter supports the supplied endpoint

    • invoke

      void invoke(MessageContext messageContext, Object endpoint) throws Exception
      Use the given endpoint to handle the request.
