Using the Spring Framework encourages developers to code using interfaces and use

dependency injection (DI) to provide a Plain ld !ava "ject (P!) with the
dependencies it needs to perform its tasks# Spring Integration takes this concept one
step further$ where P!s are wired together using a messaging paradigm and individual
components may not "e aware of other components in the application# Such an
application is "uilt "y assem"ling fine%grained reusa"le components to form a higher
level of functionality# &Ith careful design$ these flows can "e modulari'ed and also
reused at an even higher level#
In addition to wiring together fine%grained components$ Spring Integration provides a
wide selection of channel adapters and gateways to communicate with e(ternal systems#
)hannel *dapters are used for one%way integration (send or receive)+ gateways are used
for re,uest-reply scenarios (in"ound or out"ound)#
.he recommended way to get started using spring-integration in your project is with
a dependency management system / the snippet "elow can "e copied and pasted into
your "uild# 0eed help1 See our getting started guides on "uilding with 2aven and
3radle#
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-integration-core</artifactId>
<version>2.2.6.RELE!E</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
In the following 4,uick start4 application you can see that the same gateway interface is
used to invoke two completely different service implementations# .o "uild and run this
program you will need the spring-integration-ws and spring-integration-xml modules
