+	      When comparing this to the generic gateway configuration, or the JMS 'inbound-gateway' that will
+          be discussed below, the key difference here is that we are in a one-way flow
+          since this is a 'channel-adapter', not a gateway. Therefore, the flow downstream from the
+          'error-channel' should also be one-way. For example, it could simply send to a logging handler,
+          or it could be connected to a different JMS &lt;outbound-channel-adapter&gt; element.
