public class MessageRunner {
	final static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MessageRunner.class);

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		logger.info("Initializing Spring context.");
		//ApplicationContext applicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/application-context.xml");
