Same Message needs to go to two different Queues.

[srikanthradix]

I have a message that needs to gets converted into BytesMessage before being sent to two channels.
Currently, I have a message that gets put into two different channels through a Router and gets routed to two different message-channel-adapters which have messageConverters for them.
What I want to do is to instead of converting twice, can I convert once and send it to message-driven-channel-adapters without having messageConverters? If I can do that, what model do you recommend? A service-activator or anything else?

Without knowing much about your process beyond your description below I'd suggest a shape like Transformer > Splitter > Router

1. Transform payload to byte array
2. Split into 2 messages, enrich header with appropriate value for routing
3. Route to appropriate channel adapter on header value

I believe the default behavior of the channel adapter will extract the byte array payload for you and construct a JMS BytesMessage.

I think if you use receipientListRouter you don't need to split the message, just define a list of channels to route the message to

Ah, good suggestion rhart -- I was unfamiliar with RecipientListRouter.
