Example of GatewayProxyFactoryBean

[bgargesh]

Hi

Can any one of you provide me a working example or how to write a sample
application which uses a GatewayProxyFactoryBean.

How does the gateway namespace which accepts an iterface?
How does invoking a method on this bean invoke the send and receive methods?

Kindly explain.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Bharath,

Section "2.11 MessagingGateway" of the documentation covers that. It is valuable to look at "2.10 RequestReplyTemplate" before that.

Some more detail:

This generates a dynamic proxy that wraps the sending of a message and waiting for a response, so that it is usable as a Java class

Essentially, the argument of the method will be sent as a message on the request-channel (using a MessageCreator) and if the method signature specifies a return value, the method call will block until the response message arrives on the reply-channel. If there are no method arguments, then the method will just block until a message arrives, if there is no return type for the method (i.e. it is void), the method will return immediately.

Hope that helps,
Marius
