15.2.4. Changing Gateway Data Mappings

Instances of the org.jboss.soa.esb.listeners.message.MessageComposer interface are responsible for performing the conversion. To change the default behavior, provide an appropriate implementation that defines your own compose and decompose methods. Make sure that you provide the MessageComposer implementation in the configuration file by using the composer-class attribute name.

These implementations use a reflective approach for defining composition classes. Provide your own message composer class and use the composer-class attribute name in the configuration file to inform the gateway which instance to use. You can use the composer-process attribute to inform the Gateway which operation of the class to call when it needs a message. This method must take an object and return a message. If not specified, a default name of process is assumed.
