Global Error Channel

The global default errorCahnnel, created by the Framework automatically (if doesn't exists), now supplied with two configuration properties:

• spring.integration.channels.error.requireSubscribers=true global property is added to indicate that global default errorChannel must be configured with the requireSubscribers option (or not);
• spring.integration.channels.error.ignoreFailures=true global property is added to indicate that global default errorChannel must ignore (or not) dispatching errors and pass the message to the next handler.

They are made as true by default for better end-user experience when there is no subscribers to handle errors or when one of the subscribers fails and the rest should process an error yet. If the application logic is based on a default (false) value for those options, it is better to reconsider configuration in favor of custom error channel (not global), or change those properties in the META-INF/spring.integration.properties file.
