  • Method Details

    • withMetadata

      QueryMessage withMetadata(Map<String,String> metadata)
      Description copied from interface: Message
      Returns a copy of this Message (implementation) with the given metadata.

      All other fields, like for example the Message.payload(), remain unchanged.

      While the implementation returned may be different from the implementation of this, implementations must take special care in returning the same type of Message to prevent errors further downstream.

      Specified by:
      withMetadata in interface Message
      Parameters:
      metadata - The new metadata for the Message.
      Returns:
      A copy of this Message (implementation) with the given metadata.
    • andMetadata

      QueryMessage andMetadata(Map<String,@Nullable String> additionalMetadata)
      Description copied from interface: Message
      Returns a copy of this Message (implementation) with its metadata merged with the given metadata.

      All other fields, like for example the Message.payload(), remain unchanged.

      Specified by:
      andMetadata in interface Message
      Parameters:
      additionalMetadata - The metadata to merge with.
      Returns:
      A copy of this Message (implementation) with the given metadata.
    • withConvertedPayload

      default QueryMessage withConvertedPayload(Class<?> type, Converter converter)
      Description copied from interface: Message
      Returns a new Message implementation with its Message.payload() converted to the given type by the given converter. This new Message is effectively a copy of this Message with a renewed payload and Message.payloadType().

      Will return the this instance if the payload type is assignable from the converted result.

      Specified by:
      withConvertedPayload in interface Message
      Parameters:
      type - The type to convert the Message.payload() to.
      converter - The converter to convert the Message.payload() with.
      Returns:
      A new Message implementation with its Message.payload() converted to the given type by the given converter.
    • withConvertedPayload

      default QueryMessage withConvertedPayload(TypeReference<?> type, Converter converter)
      Description copied from interface: Message
      Returns a new Message implementation with its Message.payload() converted to the given type by the given converter. This new Message is effectively a copy of this Message with a renewed payload and Message.payloadType().

      Will return the this instance if the payload type is assignable from the converted result.

      Specified by:
      withConvertedPayload in interface Message
      Parameters:
      type - The type to convert the Message.payload() to.
      converter - The converter to convert the Message.payload() with.
      Returns:
      A new Message implementation with its Message.payload() converted to the given type by the given converter.
    • withConvertedPayload

      QueryMessage withConvertedPayload(Type type, Converter converter)
      Description copied from interface: Message
      Returns a new Message implementation with its Message.payload() converted to the given type by the given converter. This new Message is effectively a copy of this Message with a renewed payload and Message.payloadType().

      Will return the this instance if the payload type is assignable from the converted result.

      Specified by:
      withConvertedPayload in interface Message
      Parameters:
      type - The type to convert the Message.payload() to.
      converter - The converter to convert the Message.payload() with.
      Returns:
      A new Message implementation with its Message.payload() converted to the given type by the given converter.
    • priority

      OptionalInt priority()
      Returns the priority of this QueryMessage, if any is applicable.

      Queries with a higher priority should be handled before queries with a lower priority. Queries without a priority are considered to have the lowest priority.

      Returns:
      The priority of this query message, or an empty OptionalInt if no priority is set.
