Setting metadatakey on FeedEntryMessageSource using URL object is appending url to metadatakey but when Resource object is used, only metadatakey is set

[pinkeshsagar-harptec]

Using spring integration core 5.5.7 and spring integration feed 5.5.7

Expected Behavior

If user is already passing metadatakey then he is already aware about metadatakey, so both constructors of FeedEntryMessageSource should only set metdatakey, not modify it.

Current Behavior

Currently, if object of FeedEntryMessageSource created with URL, then url is appended with metadatakey and if created with second constructor which takes Resource then it is only setting metadatakey.

How has this issue affected you?
I am creating instance of FeedEntryMessageSource with both constructors. so if instance with URL failed then Resource one can be used but i am getting different metadatakey in both cases.

What other alternatives have you considered? None

Are you aware of any workarounds? No

It was like that this.metadataKey = metadataKey + "." + feedUrl; from a day first, long before we had introduced a Resource.
Since we are in major release phase at the moment, I think it is good time to make that breaking change and really fully only on the provided metadataKey only.

Feel free to contribute the fix: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.adoc.

Thank you!
