Configuration for sending an asynchronous message

[rct]

Hi
I am trying send an asynchronous message using spring integration in my web app. I am using input and output channels defined in my application context file.
I want to fire off a message and have the message sender immediately complete while asynchronously sending the message.
What I am noticing is the message is consumed and processed in a synchronous fashion.

What spring integration components would I need to accomplish this?
Thanks

Add a task-executor to make the channel an ExecutorChannel http://static.springsource.org/sprin...ecutor-channel

http://static.springsource.org/sprin...xecutorchannel

Or, make the input channel a QueueChannel. http://static.springsource.org/sprin...s-queuechannel

http://static.springsource.org/sprin...n-queuechannel

(But that will require a poller on the subscriber).

Or, even better, don't expose the SI components to your application at all, and use an Async gateway instead.
