Currently, HTTP mappers don't know if they are inbound or outbound. This causes problems with mapping certain headers. For example, on an inbound adapter, a mapped Content-Length header should not be re-mapped to an HTTP Header during response header mapping. However, the Content-Length does need to be mapped on an outbound adapter response. Introduce the notion of an exclusion list for both request and response standard headers. If a mapper has been configured to use standard headers, we can detect whether the mapper is being used for inbound or outbound mapping. We can then apply an 'exclusion' for certain headers. Currently, no request headers are suppressed on outbound mappers and only the 'Content-Length' response header is suppressed on inbound mappers. The default mappers created via the static factory methods use these defaults. Exposing the exclusion setters will allow users to suppress additional headers, if deemed necessary.
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.. . . .
