still question about gateway

[mfcplus]

I am still confused about the gateway concept, if anybody can help me, that will be great.

let's say I have a pojo bean and has a gateway as a property, then in each method do i call the gateway method to get into spring integration world? So is the following code correct? and what if I have more than one methods, say one with return value and one without return value, can I use same gateway or I need one gateway per method? many thanks

public Pojo
{
private Gateway gateWay;

public void setGateway(Gateway gateWay)
{
this.gateWay = gateWay;
}

public Object methodA(String A)
{
return this.gateWay().methodA(A);
}

public void methodB(String B)
{
this.gateWay().methodA(B);
}

}

Yes this is correct.
As far as multiple methods, personally I would not recommend that . . . it never feels right to me to have a Messaging gateway (singular concept) that exposes multiple entry points to a Messaging system.
Having said that you can still do it rather simply via <int:method. . .> mappings.

Thank you very much. And what's the difference between default-reply-channel/default-request-channel and reply-channel/request-channel in the gateway? Right now i'm using the default-request/reply in the configs
