<title>Resequencer</title>
<section>
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>Related to the Aggregator, albeit different from a functional
standpoint, is the Resequencer. In this chapter, we will treat them
together because of their similar functionalities.</para>

<title>Functionality</title>
<para>The Resequencer works in a similar way to the Aggregator, in the
sense that it uses the CORRELATION_ID to store messages in groups, the
difference being that all what the Resequencer does, is to release them
in the order of their SEQUENCE_NUMBER.</para>
<para>With respect to that, the user might opt to release all messages
at once (after the whole sequence, according to the SEQUENCE_SIZE, has
been released), or as soon as a valid sequence is available. Another
option is to set a timeout, deciding whether to drop the whole sequence
if the timeout has expired, and not all messages have arrived, or to
release the messages accumulated so far, in the appropriate
order.</para>

<title>Configuring a Resequencer with XML</title>
<para>Configuring a resequencer requires only including the appropriate
element in XML.</para>
<para>A sample resequencer configuration is shown below.</para>
<programlisting language="xml">&lt;channel id="inputChannel"/&gt;
&lt;channel id="outputChannel"/&gt;
&lt;resequencer id="completelyDefinedResequencer" <co id="resxml1" />

already processed correlation ids, preventing the formation of new

<callout arch="" arearefs="resxml10">
<para>The timeout for sending out messages.
<emphasis>Optional</emphasis>.</para>
</callout>
</calloutlist></para>
<note>
Since there is no custom behaviour to be implemented in Java classes for
resequencers, there is no annotation support for it.
