Description
There are places where we are currently interpreting a request-timeout attribute as if it were a reply-timeout. For example, have a look at the HttpOutboundGatewayParser. We need to deprecate those attributes, replace them with reply-timeout and document clearly what that means.
This Jira serves as a parent umbrella issue. Sub-issues will be created for all affected Outbound Gateways.
E.g. see INT-2245
The parser code would basically look like this:
IntegrationNamespaceUtils.setValueIfAttributeDefined(builder, element, "reply-timeout", "sendTimeout");
We could add a warn-level message for use of the then deprecated request-timeout attribute.
The real request-timeout, is actually not applicable in the first place, since the receive-timeout can be specified on a Poller element (as it should be) whenever the request-channel referenced is in fact a PollableChannel.
Important
There are valid edge-cases. E.g. The Payload Enricher when using a request channel acts like a gateway. In that case a request-timeout is perfectly valid. In fact, the wrapped Gateway in that case behaves more like an Inbound Gateway. I wanted to mention this to illustrate a case where the delineation of Outbound Gateways is starting to blur.
Take a look at
INT-2216- When we update the documentation we need to make sure to mention this and explain the differences.
