Can http:outbound-gateway be part of a chain?

[HrFlick]

Hi.

I am unable to include a http: outbound-gateway in a chain pipeline (<chain>...</chain>) beacause the 'request-channel' attribute is required. Is this by design? Does annybody know of an out-of-the-box workarund for this?

Regards
Christian

Please create an issue for that, we could ensure that there is a setOutputChannel on the resulting bean and then it would work better.

Hi Guys,

Is this going to be resolved in 2.0 or we have to wait? I think this is quite basic and quite useful feature.

Cheers

Yes, it's useful, usually attaching a patch or a testcase to the issue helps speed things up.

I've had a look at it and it is not as easy as you might think to solve this one, so if you want to ensure it's in I recommend adding a patch.
