And this one indeed a problem. We need to figure out what to do with that… Looks like we can’t figure out an input type and fallback to regular payload propagation.

It fails even with current Kotlin 1.4.x support:

Thank you for your persistence!

Reopening…

Unfortunately with the Kotlin DSL this flow also raise an ClassCastException:

@Bean
fun flow() =
    integrationFlow(input()) {
        handle<Message<String>> { message, _ -> message.also { println(it.payload) } }
        transform<Message<String>> { message -> MessageBuilder.withPayload(message.payload.uppercase()).copyHeaders(message.headers) }
        channel(output())
    }

Thanks for confirmation!

I don’t think there is needed some hint, since we have that doc already pointing for the reason of such a ClassCastException. Plus, it is indeed recommended to use an idiomatic Kotlin DSL instead. 😄
