This example demonstrates the following aspects of the CORE EIP support available with Spring Integration: 1. Channel Adapter (Inbound and Stdout) 2. Poller with Interval Trigers 3. Service Activator A very simple example that introduces you to the Channel adapters and Pollers. Messages are simply being emitted by the Poller (interval based) triggering 'nextTicker()' method of TickerStream class and sent to a 'tickers' channel from which they are retrieved by the TickerStream service. TockerStream service generates random ticker symbols sending them to the 'quotes' channel from which they are retrieved by the QuoteService (annotation based Service Activator). QuoteService generates random quotes sending them to the Stdout Channel Adapter where they are printed to a console. To execute sample simply run QuoteDemoTest. You should see the output similar to this: XNY: 90.03 XMR: 17.11 IWR: 35.85 KHR: 54.43 WUW: 95.29 YYC: 7.44 DYW: 84.76 TIW: 28.31 HGE: 28.90
