Best way to get the status of Consumer

[tsure]

Thought this could be a new thread. Is there any way in Spring Integration from which I could get the status (running/stopped) of any of my consumer ??

Use a <gateway/> to send a message to the control bus...

public interface ControlBus {
    boolean command(String command);
}

<int:gateway service-interface="foo.ControlBus" default-request-channel="controlBusChannel"/>

...

@Autowired
private ControlBus controlBus;

...

if (controlBus.command("@rabbitAdapter.isRunning()")) {
   ...
}

Thank you Gary. One very dumb question, are you declaring the controlBus variable and the "if" statement in the main here ?

[Gary Russell]

In this case I @Autowired it (assumes the current class was a class declared in the Spring config).

If you are running from a main, and creating an application context, you can get a reference to it using

ControlBus controlBus = context.getBean(ControlBus.class)

This assumes there is only one instance of ControlBus in the context (which there usually would be).
