    public class MessageFilter

extends AbstractFilteringMessageProcessor

Implementation of `InterceptingMessageProcessor` that filters message flow using a `Filter`. Is the filter accepts the message then message flow continues to the next message processor. If the filter does not accept the message processor and a message processor is configured for handling unaccepted message then this will be invoked, otherwise `null` will be returned.
