/**
* Indicates that a method is capable of splitting a single message or message
* payload to produce multiple messages or payloads.
* <p>
* A method annotated with @Splitter may accept a parameter of type
* {@link org.springframework.messaging.Message} or of the expected
* Message payload's type. Any type conversion supported by
* {@link org.springframework.beans.SimpleTypeConverter} will be applied to
* the Message payload if necessary. Header values can also be passed as
* Message parameters by using the
* {@link org.springframework.messaging.handler.annotation.Header @Header} parameter annotation.
* <p>
* Return values from the annotated method may be either a Collection or Array
* with elements of any type. If the type is not a Message, each will be used
* as the payload for creating a new Message.
