public interface ResponseMapper
A strategy interface for converting arbitrary response objects into Message instances.

This abstraction allows handler return values (or other types of responses) to be wrapped in a consistent message format, optionally including Metadata.

Implementations may handle different return types (e.g., plain objects, enriched result objects, or already wrapped Message instances) depending on the needs of the message pipeline.

Use Cases

  • Transforming handler return values into Message envelopes for result publication
  • Injecting custom metadata or headers into result messages
  • Supporting custom serialization formats or protocols
