How to create and hold multiple connections in Spring Integration - spring

Question

I have one server and number of clients, server will send response and waits for acknowledgement, additionally I want to hold that connection forever for next message and acknowledgement how should i create these connection in Spring Integration. I read about Spring integration, i couldn't find out the solution for holding the connection.
public class ClientCall {
public static void main(String[] args) {
#SuppressWarnings("resource")
ApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(GatewayConfig.class);
GatewayService gatewayService = ctx.getBean(GatewayService.class);
//int i=0;
Message message = new Message();
/*while(i<4)
{*/
message.setPayload("It's working");
gatewayService.sendMessage(message);
/* i++;
}*/
}
}
#Service
public interface GatewayService<T> {
public void sendMessage(final T payload);
public void receiveMessage(String response);
}
#EnableIntegration
#IntegrationComponentScan
#Configuration
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.gateway.service")
public class GatewayConfig {
// #Value("${listen.port:6788}")
private int port = 6785;
#Autowired
private GatewayService<Message> gatewayService;
#MessagingGateway(defaultRequestChannel = "sendMessageChannel")
public interface Gateway {
void viaTcp(String payload);
}
#Bean
public AbstractClientConnectionFactory clientCF() {
TcpNetClientConnectionFactory clientConnectionFactory = new TcpNetClientConnectionFactory("localhost",this.port);
clientConnectionFactory.setSingleUse(true);
return clientConnectionFactory;
}
#Bean
#ServiceActivator(inputChannel = "sendMessageChannel")
public MessageHandler tcpOutGateway(AbstractClientConnectionFactory connectionFactory) {
TcpOutboundGateway outGateway = new TcpOutboundGateway();
outGateway.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory);
outGateway.setAsync(true);
outGateway.setOutputChannel(receiveMessageChannel());
outGateway.setRequiresReply(true);
outGateway.setReplyChannel(receiveMessageChannel());
return outGateway;
}
#Bean
public MessageChannel sendMessageChannel() {
DirectChannel channel = new DirectChannel();
return channel;
}
#Bean
public MessageChannel receiveMessageChannel() {
DirectChannel channel = new DirectChannel();
return channel;
}
#Transformer(inputChannel = "receiveMessageChannel", outputChannel = "processMessageChannel")
public String convert(byte[] bytes) {
return new String(bytes);
}
#ServiceActivator(inputChannel = "processMessageChannel")
public void upCase(String response) {
gatewayService.receiveMessage(response);
}
#Transformer(inputChannel = "errorChannel", outputChannel = "processMessageChannel")
public void convertError(byte[] bytes) {
String str = new String(bytes);
System.out.println("Error: " + str);
}
}
public class Message {
private String payload;
// getter setter
}
#Service
public class GatewayServiceImpl implements GatewayService<Message> {
#Autowired
private Gateway gateway;
#Autowired
private GatewayContextManger<String, Object> gatewayContextManger;
#Override
public void sendMessage(final Message message) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
gateway.viaTcp(message.getPayload());
}
}).start();
}
#Override
public void receiveMessage(final String response) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Message message = new Message();
message.setPayload(response);
Object obj = message;
//Object obj = gatewayContextManger.get(message.getPayload());
synchronized (message) {
obj.notify();
System.out.println("Message Received : "+message.getPayload());
}
}
}).start();
}
}

You have: clientConnectionFactory.setSingleUse(true); This means the connection will be closed after the request; leave it false (default) to keep the connection open.
