The Spring Integration Java configuration and DSL provides a set of convenient builders and a fluent API that lets you configure Spring Integration message flows from Spring @Configuration classes.spring-doc.cn

(See also Kotlin DSL.)spring-doc.cn

(See also Groovy DSL.)spring-doc.cn

The Java DSL for Spring Integration is essentially a facade for Spring Integration. The DSL provides a simple way to embed Spring Integration Message Flows into your application by using the fluent Builder pattern together with existing Java configuration from Spring Framework and Spring Integration. We also use and support lambdas (available with Java 8) to further simplify Java configuration.spring-doc.cn

The cafe offers a good example of using the DSL.spring-doc.cn

The DSL is presented by the IntegrationFlow fluent API (see IntegrationFlowBuilder). This produces the IntegrationFlow component, which should be registered as a Spring bean (by using the @Bean annotation). The builder pattern is used to express arbitrarily complex structures as a hierarchy of methods that can accept lambdas as arguments.spring-doc.cn

The IntegrationFlowBuilder only collects integration components (MessageChannel instances, AbstractEndpoint instances, and so on) in the IntegrationFlow bean for further parsing and registration of concrete beans in the application context by the IntegrationFlowBeanPostProcessor.spring-doc.cn

The Java DSL uses Spring Integration classes directly and bypasses any XML generation and parsing. However, the DSL offers more than syntactic sugar on top of XML. One of its most compelling features is the ability to define inline lambdas to implement endpoint logic, eliminating the need for external classes to implement custom logic. In some sense, Spring Integration’s support for the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) and inline scripting address this, but lambdas are easier and much more powerful.spring-doc.cn

The following example shows how to use Java Configuration for Spring Integration:spring-doc.cn

@Configuration
@EnableIntegration
public class MyConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public AtomicInteger integerSource() {
        return new AtomicInteger();
    }

    @Bean
    public IntegrationFlow myFlow(AtomicInteger integerSource) {
        return IntegrationFlow.fromSupplier(integerSource::getAndIncrement,
                                         c -> c.poller(Pollers.fixedRate(100)))
                    .channel("inputChannel")
                    .filter((Integer p) -> p > 0)
                    .transform(Object::toString)
                    .channel(MessageChannels.queue())
                    .get();
    }
}

The result of the preceding configuration example is that it creates, after ApplicationContext start up, Spring Integration endpoints and message channels. Java configuration can be used both to replace and augment XML configuration. You need not replace all of your existing XML configuration to use Java configuration.spring-doc.cn
