A new type MessageHeaderAccesssor provides read/write access to
MessageHeaders along with typed getter/setter methods along the lines
of the existing MessageBuilder methods (internally MessageBuilder
merely delegates to MessageHeaderAccessor). This class is extensible
with sub-classes expected to provide typed getter/setter methods for
specific categories of message headers.
NativeMessageHeaderAccessor is one specific sub-class that further
provides read/write access to headers from some external message
source (e.g. STOMP headers). Native headers are stored in a separate
MultiValueMap and kept under a specific key.
Rename to PubSubHeaderAccessor and StompHeaderAccessor
Move the renamed classes to support packages
Remove fromPayloadAndHeaders from MessageBuilder, just use
withPayload(..).copyHeaders(..) instead.
To improve compatibility between Spring's messaging classes and
Spring Integration, the type of Message that is created has been made
pluggable through the introduction of a factory abstraction;
MessageFactory.
By default a MessageFactory is provided that will create
org.springframework.messaging.GenericMessage instances, however this
can be replaced with an alternative implementation. For example,
Spring Integration can provide an implementation that creates
org.springframework.integration.message.GenericMessage instances.
This control over the type of Message that's created allows messages
to flow from Spring messaging code into Spring Integration code without
any need for conversion. In further support of this goal,
MessageChannel, MessageHandler, and SubscribableChannel have been
genericized to make the Message type that they deal with more
flexible.
