isRequired

public boolean isRequired()

Returns true if the plugin is required, false if it is optional. A typical use case of this flag is the following scenario: - a request is part of an ongoing conversation and therefore must continue to be routed to the same plugin that is has been routed at the start of the conversation. Note: it is discouraged to use that flag as a substitute for "stateless" plugin. That is, this flag should not be used to "broadcast" a request to all plugins in case the plugin lacks the state to indicate which request it can handle.

Returns:

true if required, false if optional

setRequired

public void setRequired(boolean required)

Sets the plugin as required or optional

Parameters:

required - True if the plugin is required, false if it is optional
