Aggregate Enterprise Integration Pattern Extensibility: IFL

Overview

A "java" type can be specified for the Aggregate EIP, this extends aggregate to invoke simple POJO's to perform the aggregation task.

IFL

The "java" type can be specified for aggregate as follows:

With external configuration

    aggregate java "myaggregate"

With inline configuration

    aggregate java ("name=value,*")

Aggregator POJO

When the "java" type is specified for aggregate, a user defined POJO is plugged into the framework for aggregation.

A template POJO which implements the Aggregate EIP extension interface is generated in the application's space, this POJO can be updated by a developer to customize the aggregation behaviour.

The default package and class name of the generated Aggregate POJO defaults to "aggregate.{aggregateName}" and "Aggregator". In case the configuration is external, then aggregateName = externalConfigName, if it's inline then the aggregateName is a system generated name. A user can specify a classname/packagename in the configuration to override the defaults.

For example:

With external configuration

    aggregate java "myaggregate"

The Aggregate POJO has :

    packagename = aggregate.myaggregate
    classname   = Aggregator

Location of the generated source file:

    src/main/java/aggregate/myaggregate/Aggregator.java
