A Message Router that sends Messages to a list of recipient channels. The
recipients can be provided as a static list of MessageChannel
instances via the setChannels(List) method, or for dynamic behavior,
the values can be provided via the setRecipients(List) method.
For more advanced, programmatic control of dynamic recipient lists, consider
using the @Router annotation or extending AbstractMessageRouter instead.
Contrary to a standard <router .../> this handler will try to send to
all channels that are configured as recipients. It is to channels what a
publish subscribe channel is to endpoints.
Using this class only makes sense if it is essential to send messages on
multiple channels instead of sending them to multiple handlers. If the latter
is an option using a publish subscribe channel is the more flexible solution.
public void setChannels(java.util.List<MessageChannel> channels)
Set the channels for this router. Either call this method or
setRecipients(List) but not both. If MessageSelectors should be
considered, then use setRecipients(List).
