Spring Integration ServiceActivator Annotation

[Loumeister]

After tooling around with the XML and the annotation implementation for ServiceActivator, it seems like I have to use both in order to get a response sent to a replyQueue presumably because of the integrated poller. Is that the correct behavior or am I missing something in the annotation?

I was hoping I could just get away with using the annotation something like:

@ServiceActivator(inputChannel="fileRequests", outputChannel="replyChannel")

Instead I have to do this and have it defined in the XML as well in order for the message to be sent to the replyChannel.

	<integration:service-activator
		input-channel="fileRequests" ref="receiver" output-channel="replyChannel">
		<integration:poller>
			<integration:interval-trigger interval="10"
				time-unit="SECONDS" />
		</integration:poller>
	</integration:service-activator>

	<bean id="receiver" class="com.loutilities.jobs.FileDocumentService" />

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Lou

If you do not use xml at all, then you must include the following in your xml file.

<int:annotation-config/>

(were int is spring integration namespace.)
