/**
* A simple MessageHandler implementation that passes the request Message
* directly to the output channel without modifying it. The main purpose of this
* handler is to bridge a PollableChannel to a SubscribableChannel or
* vice-versa.
* <p>
* The BridgeHandler can be used as a stopper at the end of an assembly line of
* channels. In this setup the output channel doesn't have to be set, but if the
* output channel is omitted the <tt>REPLY_CHANNEL</tt> MUST be set on the
* message. Otherwise, a MessagingException will be thrown at runtime.
