* The {@link org.springframework.messaging.MessageChannel} {@link org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean}
* marked with this annotation is used as the {@code inputChannel} for the

* The {@link #value()} of this annotation is the {@code outputChannel} for the

* If it isn't present, the {@link org.springframework.integration.handler.BridgeHandler}
* sends the message to the {@code reply-channel} in its message headers, if present.
* If no output channel is provided and no reply-channel exists, an exception is thrown.
