Mix tcp-connection- factory + tcp-inbound-gateway + router

Is it possible to send separate messages (separate serializations / deserializations) to the same tcp server (same host and port) and differentiate tcp-inbound-gateway by some header or payload value with a router?

(...)

I want to add a router to select the correct tcp-inbound-gateway depends on some field in the header or payload (for example named typedata). In what order enter request (or message) between router, tcp-inbound-gateway, tcp-connection- factory, serialize / deserialize? Am I having serialization / deserialization issues for choosing tcp-inbound-gateway? What is the correct way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

In the server:

<!-- Common -->
<int:channel id="channelConnectionFactoryRequest" />
<int:channel id="channelConnectionFactoryResponse" />

<router method="getDestinationChannel"
    input-channel="channelSConnectionFactoryRequest">
        <beans:bean class="org.mbracero.integration.CustomRouter" />
</router>

<beans:bean id="customSerializerDeserializer"
    class="org.mbracero.integration.serialization.CustomSerializerDeserializer" />

<int-ip:tcp-connection-factory id="customConnectionFactory"
    type="server" port="${payment.port}" single-use="true"
    serializer="customSerializerDeserializer"
    deserializer="customSerializerDeserializer" />

<int-ip:tcp-inbound-gateway id="customInboundGateway"
    connection-factory="customConnectionFactory"
    request-channel="channelCustomConnectionFactoryRequest"
    reply-channel="channelCustomConnectionFactoryResponse"
    error-channel="errorChannel" />

<!-- Custom -->

<beans:bean id="operations"
    class="org.mbracero.integration.applepay.impl.OperationsImpl" />

<!-- Operation One -->
<int:channel id="operationOneRequest" />

<int:service-activator input-channel="operationOneRequest"
    output-channel="operationOneResponse" ref="operations" method="getOperationOne" />

<!-- Operation Two -->
<int:channel id="operationTwoRequest" />

<int:service-activator input-channel="operationTwoRequest"
    output-channel="operationTwoResponse" ref="operations" method="getOperationTwo" />

      

        
        
        
      

    

OperationsImpl:

ResultOne getOperationOne(RequestOne request);

ResultTwo getOperationOne(RequestTwo request);

      

        
        
        
      

    

ResultOne and ResultTwo both implement ResultBase. And in serializing customSerializerDeserializer I have:

@Override
public void serialize(ResultBase arg0, OutputStream arg1) throws IOException {

    byte[] xxx = XXX.getBytes();
    arg1.write(xxx);

    byte[] yyy = yyy.getBytes();
    arg1.write(senderName);

    // **Each custom object have a method for serialize their own data**
    arg0.transformDataToByte(arg1);

    arg1.flush();
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

In the client:

<gateway id="tmGateway"
    service-interface="org.mbracero.integration.CustomGateway" />

<beans:bean id="operationOneSerializerDeserializer"
    class="org.mbracero.integration.serialization.OperationOneSerializerDeserializer" />

<int-ip:tcp-connection-factory id="operationOneFactory"
    type="client" host="127.0.0.1" port="7878" single-use="true"
    serializer="operationOneSerializerDeserializer" deserializer="operationOneSerializerDeserializer" />

<int-ip:tcp-outbound-gateway id="operationOneOutGateway"
    request-channel="operationOneChannel" connection-factory="operationOneFactory"
    request-timeout="5000" reply-timeout="5000" remote-timeout="5000" />


<beans:bean id="operationTwoSerializerDeserializer"
    class="org.mbracero.integration.operationTwoRequestSerializerDeserializer"/>

<int-ip:tcp-connection-factory id="operationTwoFactory"
    type="client" host="127.0.0.1" port="7878" single-use="true"
    serializer="operationTwoSerializerDeserializer"
    deserializer="operationTwoSerializerDeserializer" />

<int-ip:tcp-outbound-gateway id="operationTwoOutGateway"
    request-channel="operationTwoChannel" connection-factory="operationTwoFactory"
    request-timeout="50000" reply-timeout="50000" remote-timeout="50000" />

      

        
        
        
      

    

CustomGateway:

@Gateway(requestChannel="operationOneChannel")
OperationOneResponse sendOperationOne(OperationOneRequest request);

@Gateway(requestChannel="operationTwoChannel")
OperationTwoResponse sendOperationTwo(OperationTwo request);
