All Known Implementing Classes:

InterceptorChain, MessageFilter

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface MessageInterceptor

Message interceptors are used to intercept messages before they are sent or received by message endpoints.

MessageInterceptors will usually be chained using a InterceptorChain.

A MessageInterceptor can be used in different ways like, for example:

• Logging
• Calculating Metrics
• Wire Taps
• Message Filters

...and many other.
