java.lang.Object

org.axonframework.messaging.AbstractMessage<T>

org.axonframework.messaging.GenericMessage<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Message<T>

public class GenericMessage<T>
extends AbstractMessage<T>

Constructor Detail

GenericMessage

public GenericMessage(T payload)

Constructs a Message for the given payload using the correlation data of the current Unit of Work, if present.

Parameters:

payload - The payload for the message

GenericMessage

public GenericMessage(T payload,
                      Map<String,?> metaData)

Constructs a Message for the given payload and meta data. The given metaData is merged with the MetaData from the correlation data of the current unit of work, if present.

Parameters:

payload - The payload for the message

metaData - The meta data for the message

GenericMessage

public GenericMessage(String identifier,
                      T payload,
                      Map<String,?> metaData)

Constructor to reconstruct a Message using existing data. Note that no correlation data from a UnitOfWork is attached when using this constructor. If you're constructing a new Message, use GenericMessage(Object, Map) instead.

Parameters:

identifier - The identifier of the Message

payload - The payload of the message

metaData - The meta data of the message

Method Detail

getMetaData

public MetaData getMetaData()

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns the meta data for this event. This meta data is a collection of key-value pairs, where the key is a String, and the value is a serializable object.

Returns:

the meta data for this event

getPayload

public T getPayload()

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns the payload of this Event. The payload is the application-specific information.

Returns:

the payload of this Event

getPayloadType

public Class<T> getPayloadType()

Description copied from interface: Message

Returns the type of the payload.

Is semantically equal to getPayload().getClass(), but allows implementations to optimize by using lazy loading or deserialization.

Returns:

the type of payload.

withMetaData

protected Message<T> withMetaData(MetaData metaData)

Description copied from class: AbstractMessage

Returns a new message instance with the same payload and properties as this message but given metaData.

Specified by:

withMetaData in class AbstractMessage<T>

Parameters:

metaData - The metadata in the new message

Returns:

a copy of this instance with given metadata
