================================================== -->
+ <h2>Description:</h2>
+ <p>
+ <b>SpringContextProcessor</b> â allows integration of
processes encapsulated in Spring Application Context to run as NiFi
+ processor by becoming a runtime host for an instance of Spring
Application Context.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Communication between NiFi and process encapsulated within
Spring Application Context is accomplished via Spring Messaging
+ (one of the core modules of Spring Framework) and supports 3
usage modes:
+ <ul>
+ <li><i>Headless</i> - no interaction with NiFi, meaning
nothing is sent to it and nothing is received from it (i.e., some monitoring
app).
+ In this case NiFi simply plays the role of the runtime
host.</li>
+ <li><i>One way (NiFi -> Spring or Spring ->
NiFi). </i> - This depends on existence of pre-defined message channel in
Spring
+ Application Context. The name of the channel should be
âfromNiFiâ and the type
<i>org.springframework.messaging.MessageChannel.</i></li>
+ <li><i>By-directional (NiFi -> Spring -> Nifi or
Spring -> NiFi -> Spring)</i> - This depends on existence of two channels
+ in Spring Application Context. One channel receives
messages from NiFi with name âfromNiFiâ and type
<i>org.springframework.messaging.MessageChannel</i>i>
+ and another is o receive messages from Spring with
name âtoNiFiâ and type
<i>org.springframework.messaging.PollableChannel.</i></li>
