Method Detail

activate

void activate()
This method can perform necessary state updates before any of the MessageDispatching methods are invoked.

See Also:
org.mule.api.transport.MessageDispatcherFactory#activate(org.mule.api.endpoint.ImmutableEndpoint, org.mule.api.transport.MessageDispatcher)}

passivate

void passivate()
After receiving a message, the dispatcher can use this method e.g. to clean up its internal state (if it has any) or return pooled resources to whereever it got them during activate().

See Also:
org.mule.api.transport.MessageDispatcherFactory#passivate(org.mule.api.endpoint.ImmutableEndpoint, org.mule.api.transport.MessageDispatcher)}

validate

boolean validate()
Determines whether this dispatcher can be reused after message receiving.

Returns:
true if this dispatcher can be reused, false otherwise (for example when Disposable.dispose() has been called because an Exception was raised)

getConnector

Connector getConnector()
Gets the connector for this dispatcher

Returns:
the connector for this dispatcher
