Interface OutboundRouterCatchAllStrategy

All Superinterfaces:

MessageProcessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractCatchAllStrategy, ForwardingCatchAllStrategy, LoggingCatchAllStrategy, ServiceCatchAllStrategy

public interface OutboundRouterCatchAllStrategy
extends MessageProcessor

RouterCatchAllStrategy is a strategy interface that allows developers to hook in custom code when an event is being routed on the inbound or outbound but does not match any of the criteria defined for the routing. Think of catch all strategies as a safety net for your events to ensure that all events will get processed. If you do not use conditional routing logic, you will not need a catch all strategy.
