@Header annotation not working as expected

Question

I am working on a spring integration project (1.0.2) and can't get the @Header annotation to work.

Here's my service activator:

@Component
public class MyTransformer {
    @ServiceActivator(inputChannel = "inChannel", outputChannel = "outChannel")
    public String transform(final Message<?> message,
                            @Header(value = "eventId") final Long id,
                            @Header(value = "error", required = false) final Throwable throwable) {
        return throwable == null
                ? "event [" + eventId +"]"
                : "event [" + eventId +"] error: " + throwable.getMessage();
    }
}

Here's the error message:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong number of arguments. Expected types {class java.lang.Object, class java.lang.Long, class java.lang.Throwable}, but received values {[Payload=parp][Headers={eventId=888Foo, error=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid message content parp, springintegration_timestamp=1277803938244, springintegration_id=726d0769-bd27-4d95-a9ea-640c1f807065}]}.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Of course, Event Id should be a String, not a Long.

That fixes it.
