Remarks

Specifying a formatter sink provider or any number of other channel sink providers here creates a template that you can reference from other <clientProviders> elements elsewhere in the configuration file.

Example

The following configuration file section declares two provider templates.

<channelSinkProviders>
   <clientProviders>
   <provider 
      id="propsetter" 
      type="ChannelSinkPropertySetterProvider, PropsSink" 
   />
   <provider 
      id="logger" 
      type="Logging.LoggingClientChannelSinkProvider, LoggingSinks" 
   />
   </clientProviders>
</channelSinkProviders>

Elsewhere in the configuration file, these providers can be specified in a <clientProviders> element, as shown in the following example.

<channels>
   <channel>
      <clientProviders>
         <provider ref="logger"/>
         <provider ref="propsetter"/>
      </clientProviders>
   <channel>
</channels>
