Method Detail

setHeaders

public MessageBuilder<T> setHeaders(MessageHeaderAccessor accessor)

Set the message headers to use by providing a MessageHeaderAccessor.

Parameters:

accessor - the headers to use

setHeader

public MessageBuilder<T> setHeader(java.lang.String headerName,
                                   @Nullable
                                   java.lang.Object headerValue)

Set the value for the given header name. If the provided value is null, the header will be removed.

setHeaderIfAbsent

public MessageBuilder<T> setHeaderIfAbsent(java.lang.String headerName,
                                           java.lang.Object headerValue)

Set the value for the given header name only if the header name is not already associated with a value.

removeHeaders

public MessageBuilder<T> removeHeaders(java.lang.String... headerPatterns)

Removes all headers provided via array of 'headerPatterns'. As the name suggests the array may contain simple matching patterns for header names. Supported pattern styles are: "xxx*", "*xxx", "*xxx*" and "xxx*yyy".

removeHeader

public MessageBuilder<T> removeHeader(java.lang.String headerName)

Remove the value for the given header name.

copyHeaders

public MessageBuilder<T> copyHeaders(@Nullable
                                     java.util.Map<java.lang.String,?> headersToCopy)

Copy the name-value pairs from the provided Map. This operation will overwrite any existing values. Use { copyHeadersIfAbsent(Map) to avoid overwriting values. Note that the 'id' and 'timestamp' header values will never be overwritten.

copyHeadersIfAbsent

public MessageBuilder<T> copyHeadersIfAbsent(@Nullable
                                             java.util.Map<java.lang.String,?> headersToCopy)

Copy the name-value pairs from the provided Map. This operation will not overwrite any existing values.

setReplyChannel

public MessageBuilder<T> setReplyChannel(MessageChannel replyChannel)

setReplyChannelName

public MessageBuilder<T> setReplyChannelName(java.lang.String replyChannelName)

setErrorChannel

public MessageBuilder<T> setErrorChannel(MessageChannel errorChannel)

setErrorChannelName

public MessageBuilder<T> setErrorChannelName(java.lang.String errorChannelName)

build

public Message<T> build()

fromMessage

public static <T> MessageBuilder<T> fromMessage(Message<T> message)

Create a builder for a new Message instance pre-populated with all of the headers copied from the provided message. The payload of the provided Message will also be used as the payload for the new message.

Parameters:

message - the Message from which the payload and all headers will be copied

withPayload

public static <T> MessageBuilder<T> withPayload(T payload)

Create a new builder for a message with the given payload.

Parameters:

payload - the payload

createMessage

public static <T> Message<T> createMessage(@Nullable
                                           T payload,
                                           MessageHeaders messageHeaders)

A shortcut factory method for creating a message with the given payload and MessageHeaders.

Note: the given MessageHeaders instance is used directly in the new message, i.e. it is not copied.

Parameters:

messageHeaders - the headers to use (never null)

Returns:

the created message
