Configure spring integration poller based on some event - spring

I am using jdbc-inbound-channel-adapter to poll data from database and with a poller having fixed-rate. Now I don't want to constantly look into the database. I want to have the database change notification in place to send the notification on our application and depending on that notification/event we need to invoke the poller for retrieving data.
Can you please help me what could be the configuration for the same? It would be much helpful if we can configure an event based poller for polling the data.
Thanks in advance,
Sandip

Pollers are based on the Spring Framework Trigger; you can't change the poll until the next trigger occurs.
Spring Integration provides a Conditional Pollers which allow you to ignore a poll until some condition is true. Not really event-driven, but closer to what you want.
You could also use the jdbc outbound gateway for event-driven processing.

Deferred consumption of message queue

Sorry this might sound naive to JMS gurus, but still.
I have a requirement where a Spring based application is not able to connect synchronously to a SAP back-end (via their web-service interface) because the response from SAP is way too slow. We are thinking of a solution where the updates from GUI would be saved by the Spring middle-ware in a local database, simultaneously sending a message to a JMS queue. We want that after (say) every few hours (or may be nightly) a batch job runs to consume the message from the JMS queue, and based on the message contents, queries on the local database and sends the result to the SAP web-service.
Is this approach correct? Would I need a batch to trigger the JMS message consumption (because I don't want to consume the message immediately but in a deferred manner and at a pre-decided time)? Is there any way in Spring to implement this gracefully (like Camel)? Appreciate your help.
Spring Batch has a JmsItemReader that can be used in a batch program; an empty queue signals the end of the batch. Spring Cloud Task is built on top of batch and can be used for cloud deployments.

Can we change rabbitmq properties spring config and stream rabbit

In my POC, I am using Spring Cloud Config and Spring Stream Rabbit. I want to dynamically change number of listeners (concurrency). Is it possible to do that? I want to do following:
1) If there are too many messages in queue, i want to increase concurrency level.
2) In scenario where my downstream system is not available, I want to stop processing messages from queue (in short concurrency level 0).
How i can achieve this?
Thanks for help.
The listener container running in the binder supports such changes (although you can't go down to 0, but the container can be stop() ped).
However, spring-cloud-stream provides no mechanism for you to get a reference to the listener container.
You might want to consider using a #RabbitListener from Spring AMQP instead - it will give you complete control over the listener container.

JMS with Spring Integration or Spring Batch

Our project is to integrate two applications, using the REST API of each and using JMS (to provide asynchronous nature). Application-1 writes the message on the queue. The next step is to read the message from the queue, process it, and send it to application2.
I have two questions:
Should we use one more queue for storing messages after processing and before sending them to application2?
Should we use spring batch or spring integration to read/process the data?
Or you don't show the whole premise, or you really try to overhead your app. If there is just need to read messages from the queue, there is just enough to use Spring JMS directly... From other side with the Spring Integration and its Adapters power you can just process messes from the <int-jms:message-driven-channel-adapter> to the <int-http:outbound-channel-adapter>.
Don't see reason to store message somewhere else in the reading and sending process. Just because with some exception here you just rollback your message to the JMS queue back.

Spring Integration : QueueChannel guarantee no data loss?

I want my system to guarantee there is no data loss even if the system is shutting down.
What this mean is that the system must not miss the request message. So, I will change the way that accept http reqeust. Now, I am using http gateway/webservice gateway in spring integration. But, This isn't receive the message even if the system dies. So, I want to add the queue between the http client and the http receiver. So, I want to use a queue channel. Here is the question.
① I have to install other queue program such as activemq or rabbitmq and have to connect to the queue channel in spring integration?
② and which one is the best combination with spring integration? I heard that rabbit mq is the best one.
please give me a elaborate explanation. thanks.
First of all you description isn't clear...
If you don't want to lose messages from the QueueChannel use some Persistence MessageStore, like JdbcChannelMessageStore:
http://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/latest-ga/reference/html/system-management-chapter.html#message-store
From other side there are channel wrappers for the AMQP as well as for JMS:
http://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/latest-ga/reference/html/amqp.html#d4e5846
http://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/latest-ga/reference/html/jms.html#jms-channel
Which really provide the same persistence durability, fault tollerant options for your use-case.
Re. activemq VS rabbitmq. I can say by my own expiriance that the last one is better, by configuration, usage from Spring Integration (Spring AMQP is under the shell). And its performance is really better.
All other info you can find in the Internet.

spring-integration (SI), deploy as EAR

I just recently started learning about spring-integration since I need to replace the a MDB(J2EE) application.
The application is composed of mostly MDB which does, splitting, aggregating and scheduling. Which, I think is the perfect criteria to use spring-integration.
I tried out some JMS examples and tried to deploy it but could not figure out how to use the jms-inbound-gateway to replace the MDB.
Is there a way to do this? Or is the only option is still to use MDB and calling the spring-integration service from the MDB's onMessage?
Use a message-driven-channel-adapter instead of an inbound gateway.
With Spring Integration, gateways are for two-way (request/reply) integraton; channel adapters are for one way integration; more like MDBs.
If you need to send some other JMS message downstream, use an outbound channel adapter later in the flow.
It's unusual to keep the MDBs, but you can do it if you really want to, and send a message to an integration flow.
