Using the CachingClientConnectionFactory with a gateway doesn't work. The Listener (gateway) was not being set up properly by the wrapper. Instead, the actualListener in the wrapped connection was set to null. This caused the connection to "close" itself (return to the pool) immediately after the send. In addition, even with the actualListener set up to properly reference the gateway, it still wouldn't work because the gateway can't correlate the reply (the cached connectionId is prefixed with "cached:" so the gateway can't find the reply. Further, when onMessage() returned, it caused the reader loop to end. Fixes: 1. Properly set up the cached connection with the real listener so that ultimately the underlying connection sees there is an actualListener and so doesn't close itself after the send. 2. Override getListener() on the cached connection to return the real listener. 3. Override onMessage() in order to fix up the connection id in the message, and return true (intercepted) so the connection doesn't close itself (terminate the reader thread). 4. close() (return to the pool) after invoking the gateway's onMessage(). 5. Add test cases to verify proper operation including an assertion that the pooled connection is reused. This is made a little more complex by the tangle between connections and connection interceptors; mainly because single-use connections close themselves after use. This will be addressed in 3.0 (INT-2829) making connection interceptors simpler.
Spring Integration
Checking out and Building
To check out the project and build from source, do the following:
git clone git://github.com/SpringSource/spring-integration.git
cd spring-integration
./gradlew build
If you encounter out of memory errors during the build, increase available heap and permgen for Gradle:
GRADLE_OPTS='-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xmx1024m'
To build and install jars into your local Maven cache:
./gradlew install
To build api Javadoc (results will be in build/api):
./gradlew api
To build reference documentation (results will be in build/reference):
./gradlew reference
To build complete distribution including -dist, -docs, and -schema zip files (results will be in build/distributions)
./gradlew dist
Using Eclipse
To generate Eclipse metadata (.classpath and .project files), do the following:
./gradlew eclipse
Once complete, you may then import the projects into Eclipse as usual:
File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace
Browse to the 'spring-integration' root directory. All projects should import free of errors.
Using IntelliJ IDEA
To generate IDEA metadata (.iml and .ipr files), do the following:
./gradlew idea
OSGI Notes
- Dependency on Third Party Bundles Some adapters depend on third party libraries (bundles). Spring hosts the Enterprise Bundle Repository (EBR) at https://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/, where you can download many third-party JARs as valid OSGi bundles. If a particular bundle is not available in Spring's EBR, there are tools that can convert a regular JAR to a bundle JAR. One of them is Bundlor http://www.springsource.org/bundlor which can auto-generate an OSGi MANIFEST.MF as part of standard project lifecycle or simply convert a non-bundle JAR to a bundle JAR.
- Boot delegation Some adapters depend on extension packages that are available to the boot class loader. As a case in point, the Feed Adapter depends on com.sun.syndication.feed. Since by default OSGi only loads java.* from the boot class loader, other packages that must be loaded from the boot class loader can therefore be specified with the 'org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation' System property. For example: org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=com.sun.,org.w3c.. . . .
