public Object fromMessage(Message<?> message, Class<?> targetClass)

Implements org.springframework.messaging.converter.MessageConverter.fromMessage.

Doc from org.springframework.messaging.converter.MessageConverter.fromMessage.

Convert the payload of a Message from a serialized form to a typed Object of the specified target class. The MessageHeaders#CONTENT_TYPE header should indicate the MIME type to convert from.

If the converter does not support the specified media type or cannot perform the conversion, it should return null.

Parameters

public Message<?> toMessage(Object payload, MessageHeaders headers)

Implements org.springframework.messaging.converter.MessageConverter.toMessage.

Doc from org.springframework.messaging.converter.MessageConverter.toMessage.

Create a Message whose payload is the result of converting the given payload Object to serialized form. The optional MessageHeaders parameter may contain a MessageHeaders#CONTENT_TYPE header to specify the target media type for the conversion and it may contain additional headers to be added to the message.

If the converter does not support the specified media type or cannot perform the conversion, it should return null.

Parameters
