titleCreating messages with payload
borderStylesolid
Message message = messageContext.message().text("Hello CODI").payload(MessageSeverity.Error.classERROR).create();

... creates a message with 'Hello CODI' as message descriptor and error as message-severity.
Payload is based on similar to the validation payload of Bean-Validation. Via payload it's possible to provide additional information via a typesafe mechanism. It's possible to use the provided types of payload ( MessageSeverity or InternalMessage ) or to create custom payload like Label or to create something like serializable attatchments. It's possible to handle messages depending on the payload of the message. By default a message is created with MessageSeverity.InfoINFO .

titleImplementation of a custom message-builder
borderStylesolid
public class CustomMessageBuilder extends SimpleMessageBuilder
{
    private CustomMessageBuilder ()
    {
    }

    public static MessageBuilder message()
    {
        return new CustomMessageBuilder();
    }

    public static MessageBuilder technicalMessage()
    {
        return new CustomMessageBuilder().payload(TechnicalMessage.classPAYLOAD);
    }

    public static MessageBuilder label()
    {
        return new CustomMessageBuilder().payload(Label.classPAYLOAD);
    }
}

A custom MessageResolver has to know how to handle the different message types. If a payload type just allows one possible value (as marker), we can use the class of the payload to check if the payload-map contains such a marker entry.
