  - ### Method Detail

    - #### send

          MessageProducer<T> send(T message)

      Synonym for `write(Object)`.
      Parameters:
        `message` - the message to send
      Returns:
        reference to this for fluency

    - #### send

          <R> MessageProducer<T> send(T message,
                                      Handler<AsyncResult<Message<R>>> replyHandler)

    - #### exceptionHandler

          MessageProducer<T> exceptionHandler(Handler<Throwable> handler)

      Description copied from interface: `WriteStream`
      Set an exception handler on the write stream.
      Specified by:
        `exceptionHandler` in interface `StreamBase`
      Specified by:
        `exceptionHandler` in interface `WriteStream<T>`
      Parameters:
        `handler` - the exception handler
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### write

          MessageProducer<T> write(T data)

      Description copied from interface: `WriteStream`
      Write some data to the stream. The data is put on an internal write queue, and the write actually happens asynchronously. To avoid running out of memory by putting too much on the write queue, check the `WriteStream.writeQueueFull()` method before writing. This is done automatically if using a `Pump`.
      Specified by:
        `write` in interface `WriteStream<T>`
      Parameters:
        `data` - the data to write
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### setWriteQueueMaxSize

          MessageProducer<T> setWriteQueueMaxSize(int maxSize)

      Description copied from interface: `WriteStream`
      Set the maximum size of the write queue to `maxSize`. You will still be able to write to the stream even if there is more than `maxSize` bytes in the write queue. This is used as an indicator by classes such as `Pump` to provide flow control.
      Specified by:
        `setWriteQueueMaxSize` in interface `WriteStream<T>`
      Parameters:
        `maxSize` - the max size of the write stream
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### drainHandler

          MessageProducer<T> drainHandler(Handler<Void> handler)

      Description copied from interface: `WriteStream`
      Set a drain handler on the stream. If the write queue is full, then the handler will be called when the write queue has been reduced to maxSize / 2. See `Pump` for an example of this being used.
      Specified by:
        `drainHandler` in interface `WriteStream<T>`
      Parameters:
        `handler` - the handler
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### deliveryOptions

          MessageProducer<T> deliveryOptions(DeliveryOptions options)

      Update the delivery options of this producer.
      Parameters:
        `options` - the new options
      Returns:
        this producer object

    - #### address

          String address()

      Returns:
        The address to which the producer produces messages.

    - #### end

          void end()

      Closes the producer, calls `close()`
      Specified by:
        `end` in interface `WriteStream<T>`

    - #### close

          void close()

      Closes the producer, this method should be called when the message producer is not used anymore.
