      public class GenericMessageEndpointManager
      extends Object
      implements SmartLifecycle, InitializingBean, DisposableBean

  Generic bean that manages JCA 1.5 message endpoints within a Spring application context, activating and deactivating the endpoint as part of the application context's lifecycle.

  This class is completely generic in that it may work with any ResourceAdapter, any MessageEndpointFactory, and any ActivationSpec. It can be configured in standard bean style, for example through Spring's XML bean definition format, as follows:

       <bean class="org.springframework.jca.endpoint.GenericMessageEndpointManager">
               <property name="resourceAdapter" ref="resourceAdapter"/>
               <property name="messageEndpointFactory">
           <bean class="org.springframework.jca.endpoint.GenericMessageEndpointFactory">
             <property name="messageListener" ref="messageListener"/>
           </bean>
               </property>
               <property name="activationSpec">
           <bean class="org.apache.activemq.ra.ActiveMQActivationSpec">
             <property name="destination" value="myQueue"/>
             <property name="destinationType" value="javax.jms.Queue"/>
           </bean>
         </property>
       </bean>

  In this example, Spring's own `GenericMessageEndpointFactory` is used to point to a standard message listener object that happens to be supported by the specified target ResourceAdapter: in this case, a JMS `MessageListener` object as supported by the ActiveMQ message broker, defined as a Spring bean:

       <bean id="messageListener" class="com.myorg.messaging.myMessageListener">
         ...
       </bean>

  The target ResourceAdapter may be configured as a local Spring bean as well (the typical case) or obtained from JNDI (e.g. on WebLogic). For the example above, a local ResourceAdapter bean could be defined as follows (matching the "resourceAdapter" bean reference above):

       <bean id="resourceAdapter" class="org.springframework.jca.support.ResourceAdapterFactoryBean">
         <property name="resourceAdapter">
           <bean class="org.apache.activemq.ra.ActiveMQResourceAdapter">
             <property name="serverUrl" value="tcp://localhost:61616"/>
           </bean>
         </property>
         <property name="workManager">
           <bean class="org.springframework.jca.work.SimpleTaskWorkManager"/>
         </property>
       </bean>

  For a different target resource, the configuration would simply point to a different ResourceAdapter and a different ActivationSpec object (which are both specific to the resource provider), and possibly a different message listener (e.g. a CCI `MessageListener` for a resource adapter which is based on the JCA Common Client Interface).

  The asynchronous execution strategy can be customized through the "workManager" property on the ResourceAdapterFactoryBean (as shown above). Check out `SimpleTaskWorkManager`'s javadoc for its configuration options; alternatively, any other JCA-compliant WorkManager can be used (e.g. Geronimo's).

  Transactional execution is a responsibility of the concrete message endpoint, as built by the specified MessageEndpointFactory. `GenericMessageEndpointFactory` supports XA transaction participation through its "transactionManager" property, typically with a Spring `JtaTransactionManager` or a plain `TransactionManager` implementation specified there.

       <bean class="org.springframework.jca.endpoint.GenericMessageEndpointManager">
               <property name="resourceAdapter" ref="resourceAdapter"/>
               <property name="messageEndpointFactory">
           <bean class="org.springframework.jca.endpoint.GenericMessageEndpointFactory">
             <property name="messageListener" ref="messageListener"/>
             <property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager"/>
           </bean>
               </property>
               <property name="activationSpec">
           <bean class="org.apache.activemq.ra.ActiveMQActivationSpec">
             <property name="destination" value="myQueue"/>
             <property name="destinationType" value="javax.jms.Queue"/>
           </bean>
         </property>
       </bean>

       <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager"/>

  Alternatively, check out your resource provider's ActivationSpec object, which should support local transactions through a provider-specific config flag, e.g. ActiveMQActivationSpec's "useRAManagedTransaction" bean property.

       <bean class="org.springframework.jca.endpoint.GenericMessageEndpointManager">
               <property name="resourceAdapter" ref="resourceAdapter"/>
               <property name="messageEndpointFactory">
           <bean class="org.springframework.jca.endpoint.GenericMessageEndpointFactory">
             <property name="messageListener" ref="messageListener"/>
           </bean>
               </property>
               <property name="activationSpec">
           <bean class="org.apache.activemq.ra.ActiveMQActivationSpec">
             <property name="destination" value="myQueue"/>
             <property name="destinationType" value="javax.jms.Queue"/>
             <property name="useRAManagedTransaction" value="true"/>
           </bean>
         </property>
       </bean>

          public GenericMessageEndpointManager()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setResourceAdapter

          public void setResourceAdapter(ResourceAdapter resourceAdapter)

      Set the JCA ResourceAdapter to manage endpoints for.

    - #### getResourceAdapter

          public ResourceAdapter getResourceAdapter()

      Return the JCA ResourceAdapter to manage endpoints for.

    - #### setMessageEndpointFactory

          public void setMessageEndpointFactory(MessageEndpointFactory messageEndpointFactory)

      Set the JCA MessageEndpointFactory to activate, pointing to a MessageListener object that the endpoints will delegate to.

      A MessageEndpointFactory instance may be shared across multiple endpoints (i.e. multiple GenericMessageEndpointManager instances), with different `ActivationSpec` objects applied.

      See Also:
        `GenericMessageEndpointFactory.setMessageListener(java.lang.Object)`

    - #### getMessageEndpointFactory

          public MessageEndpointFactory getMessageEndpointFactory()

      Return the JCA MessageEndpointFactory to activate.

    - #### setActivationSpec

          public void setActivationSpec(ActivationSpec activationSpec)

      Set the JCA ActivationSpec to use for activating the endpoint.

      Note that this ActivationSpec instance should not be shared across multiple ResourceAdapter instances.

    - #### getActivationSpec

          public ActivationSpec getActivationSpec()

      Return the JCA ActivationSpec to use for activating the endpoint.

    - #### setAutoStartup

          public void setAutoStartup(boolean autoStartup)

      Set whether to auto-start the endpoint activation after this endpoint manager has been initialized and the context has been refreshed.

      Default is "true". Turn this flag off to defer the endpoint activation until an explicit {#start()} call.

    - #### isAutoStartup

          public boolean isAutoStartup()

      Return the value for the 'autoStartup' property. If "true", this endpoint manager will start upon a ContextRefreshedEvent.
      Specified by:
        `isAutoStartup` in interface `SmartLifecycle`

    - #### setPhase

          public void setPhase(int phase)

      Specify the phase in which this endpoint manager should be started and stopped. The startup order proceeds from lowest to highest, and the shutdown order is the reverse of that. By default this value is Integer.MAX_VALUE meaning that this endpoint manager starts as late as possible and stops as soon as possible.

    - #### getPhase

          public int getPhase()

      Return the phase in which this endpoint manager will be started and stopped.
      Specified by:
        `getPhase` in interface `Phased`

    - #### afterPropertiesSet

          public void afterPropertiesSet()
                                  throws ResourceException

      Prepares the message endpoint, and automatically activates it if the "autoStartup" flag is set to "true".
      Specified by:
        `afterPropertiesSet` in interface `InitializingBean`
      Throws:
        `ResourceException`

    - #### start

          public void start()

      Activates the configured message endpoint.
      Specified by:
        `start` in interface `Lifecycle`

    - #### stop

          public void stop()

      Deactivates the configured message endpoint.
      Specified by:
        `stop` in interface `Lifecycle`
      See Also:
        `SmartLifecycle.stop(Runnable)`

    - #### stop

          public void stop(Runnable callback)

      Description copied from interface: `SmartLifecycle`
      Indicates that a Lifecycle component must stop if it is currently running.

      The provided callback is used by the `LifecycleProcessor` to support an ordered, and potentially concurrent, shutdown of all components having a common shutdown order value. The callback must be executed after the SmartLifecycle component does indeed stop.

      The `LifecycleProcessor` will call only this variant of the `stop` method; i.e. `Lifecycle.stop()` will not be called for `SmartLifecycle` implementations unless explicitly delegated to within this method.

      Specified by:
        `stop` in interface `SmartLifecycle`

    - #### isRunning

          public boolean isRunning()

      Return whether the configured message endpoint is currently active.
      Specified by:
        `isRunning` in interface `Lifecycle`
      Returns:
        whether the component is currently running

    - #### destroy

          public void destroy()

      Deactivates the message endpoint, preparing it for shutdown.
      Specified by:
        `destroy` in interface `DisposableBean`
