Method Detail

onSyncMessage

public ITKMessage onSyncMessage(ITKMessage request)
                         throws ITKMessagingException

Description copied from interface: ITKMessageConsumer

Call to process a request message where the application response is returned synchronously (in the same thread)

Specified by:

onSyncMessage in interface ITKMessageConsumer

Parameters:

request - The itk request message to process. Examples might include an Spine Mini Services getPatientDetailsByNHSNumberRequest-v1-0 message

Returns:

an ITKMessage representing the application/business response to the provided request. The response may represent business processing success or failure depending on the contents of the request and the implementation of the underlying service.

Throws:

ITKMessagingException - if there are any syntactic, semantic or more general application processing issues when processing the request or constructing the response. In this context the ITKMessagingException should not be used to represent business processing failures such as a query returned no results - in general the underlying messaging specifications support "error" business response to support these types of failure.

onMessage

public void onMessage(ITKMessage request)
               throws ITKMessagingException

Description copied from interface: ITKMessageConsumer

Call to process a request message where no application response is returned synchronously. This may be because no application response is expected, or because the resulting response will be sent back to the request originator asynchronously.

Specified by:

onMessage in interface ITKMessageConsumer

Parameters:

request - The itk request message to process. Examples might include an Spine Mini Services nonCodedCDADocument-v2-0 message

Throws:

ITKMessagingException - if there are any syntactic, semantic or more general application processing issues when processing the request or constructing the response. In general it is recommended that full syntactic and as much business level validation as practical is performed against the request prior to the method returning such that faults can be raised and reported back via the underlying transport. In this context the ITKMessagingException should not be used to represent business processing failures such as a query returned no results - in general the underlying messaging specifications support "error" business response to support these types of failure.

run

public void run()

Specified by:

run in interface Runnable
