In many cases, the application declares two gateways for both producing and consuming messages at the end and beginning of the pipeline. This results in two connection opened to the gateway and hard configuration in the CLI.
It would be useful to have a simpler gateway that does both in only one connection and optimized for the chat-like communication.
Changes:
questions-topic: (required). Topic for producing messages. Typically the input topic of the pipeline
answers-topic: (required). Topic for reading messages. Typically the output topic of the pipeline
headers: (optional). When set, they become a required parameters to be passed to the gateway connection (like
parameters
in other gateway types). All thevalue-from-parameters
are generated automatically by the CLI.The producer and consumer implicitly uses session-parameter and user-parameter to append headers to the produced messages and use them as consumer filters.
The above chat example is functionally equivalent to:
All the required parameters will be automatically generated by the CLI (UUID).
