title: Outbound Channel Adapter java configuration
body: <p>Up to now, as far as I see, there is no annotation support for Outbound Channel Adapter. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;int:outbound-channel-adapter channel="channel" method="handle"&gt;
  &lt;beans:bean class="org.Foo"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>One of the reasons for its absence could be functionality similar to the one provided by Service Activator.</p>
  
  <p>It would be interesting to know, if there are plans to synchronize XML and Java configurations in the scope of Outbound Channel Adapter, as an explicit termination point of a processing pipeline?</p>
