title: How to post a message to a destination from a spring cloud data flow task?
body: <p>Is there a correct/preferred way to send a message from a Task to a Destination using Spring Cloud Data Flow?</p>
  <p>We have an existing stream with destinations, and would like a scheduled task to also feed messages into the stream via one of the destinations.</p>
  <p>Options we have considered so far:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Create a new stream with an http source application to feed into the destination, and then use a rest template in the task to post data to the http source. Concern with this approach is that the ip address for the http source could be ephemeral if stream/pod is redeployed.</li>
  <li>Manually configure rabbit in the task to send messages directly to the destination (exchange). Concern with this approach is that feels a bit dirty and may be misuse of the underlying messaging system that data flow/streams are using.</li>
  </ol>
