Ecotone provides abstractions for asynchronous execution.
Asynchronous

We got new requirement:
User should be able to place order for different products. 
We will need to build Order aggregate.
Let's start by creating PlaceOrderCommand with ordered product Ids
namespace App\Domain\Order;
​
class PlaceOrderCommand
{
    private int $orderId;
    /**
     * @var int[]
     */
    private array $productIds;
​
    /**
     * @return int[]
     */
    public function getProductIds(): array
    {
        return $this->productIds;
    }
​
    public function getOrderId() : int
    {
        return $this->orderId;
    }
}
We will need OrderedProduct value object, which will describe, cost and identifier of ordered product
namespace App\Domain\Order;
​
class OrderedProduct
{
    private int $productId;
​
    private int $cost;
​
    public function __construct(int $productId, int $cost)
    {
        $this->productId = $productId;
        $this->cost = $cost;
    }
​
    public function getCost(): int
    {
        return $this->cost;
    }
}
And our Order aggregate
namespace App\Domain\Order;
​
use App\Infrastructure\AddUserId\AddUserId;
use Ecotone\Messaging\Attribute\Asynchronous;
use Ecotone\Modelling\Attribute\Aggregate;
use Ecotone\Modelling\Attribute\AggregateIdentifier;
use Ecotone\Modelling\Attribute\CommandHandler;
use Ecotone\Modelling\Attribute\QueryHandler;
use Ecotone\Modelling\QueryBus;
​
#[Aggregate]
#[AddUserId]
class Order
{
    #[AggregateIdentifier]
    private int $orderId;
​
    private int $buyerId;
​
    /**
     * @var OrderedProduct[]
     */
    private array $orderedProducts;
​
    private function __construct(int $orderId, int $buyerId, array $orderedProducts)
    {
        $this->orderId = $orderId;
        $this->buyerId = $buyerId;
        $this->orderedProducts = $orderedProducts;
    }
    
    #[CommandHandler("order.place")]
    public static function placeOrder(PlaceOrderCommand $command, array $metadata, QueryBus $queryBus) : self
    {
        $orderedProducts = [];
        foreach ($command->getProductIds() as $productId) {
            $productCost = $queryBus->sendWithRouting("product.getCost", ["productId" => $productId]);
            $orderedProducts[] = new OrderedProduct($productId, $productCost->getAmount());
        }
​
        return new self($command->getOrderId(), $metadata["userId"], $orderedProducts);
    }
​
    #[QueryHandler("order.getTotalPrice")]
    public function getTotalPrice() : int
    {
        $totalPrice = 0;
        foreach ($this->orderedProducts as $orderedProduct) {
            $totalPrice += $orderedProduct->getCost();
        }
​
        return $totalPrice;
    }
}
placeOrder - Place order method make use of QueryBus to retrieve cost of each ordered product.
You could find out, that we are not using application/json for product.getCost query, ecotone/jms-converter can handle array transformation, so we do not need to use json.
You could inject service into  placeOrder that will hide QueryBus implementation from the domain, or you may get this data from data store directly. We do not want to complicate the solution now, so we will use QueryBus directly. 
We do not need to change or add new Repository, as our exiting one can handle any new aggregate arriving in our system.
Let's change our testing class and run it!
class EcotoneQuickstart
{
    private CommandBus $commandBus;
    private QueryBus $queryBus;
​
    public function __construct(CommandBus $commandBus, QueryBus $queryBus)
    {
        $this->commandBus = $commandBus;
        $this->queryBus = $queryBus;
    }
​
    public function run() : void
    {
        $this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
            "product.register",
            ["productId" => 1, "cost" => 100]
        );
        $this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
            "product.register",
            ["productId" => 2, "cost" => 300]
        );
​
        $orderId = 100;
        $this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
            "order.place",
            ["orderId" => $orderId, "productIds" => [1,2]]
        );
​
        echo $this->queryBus->convertAndSend("order.getTotalPrice", MediaType::APPLICATION_X_PHP_ARRAY, ["orderId" => $orderId]);
    }
}
bin/console ecotone:quickstart

Good job, scenario ran with success!
We want to be sure, that we do not lose any order, so we will register our order.place Command Handler to run asynchronously using RabbitMQ now. 
Let's start by adding extension to Ecotone, that can handle RabbitMQ:
composer require ecotone/amqp
We also need to add our ConnectionFactory to our Dependency Container.

}
We register our AmqpConnectionFactory under the class name Enqueue\AmqpLib\AmqpConnectionFactory. This will help Ecotone resolve it automatically, without any additional configuration.
Let's add our first AMQP Backed Channel (RabbitMQ Channel), in order to do it, we need to create our first Application Context. 
Application Context is a non-constructor class, responsible for extending Ecotone with extra configurations, that will help the framework act in a specific way. In here we want to tell Ecotone about AMQP Channel with specific name. 
Let's create new class App\Infrastructure\MessagingConfiguration.
namespace App\Infrastructure;
​
class MessagingConfiguration
{
    #[ServiceContext]
    public function orderChannel()
    {
        return [
            AmqpBackedMessageChannelBuilder::create("orders")
        ];
    }
}
ServiceContext - Tell that this method returns configuration. It can return array of objects or a single object.
Now we need to tell our order.place Command Handler, that it should run asynchronously using our neworders channel. 
use Ecotone\Messaging\Annotation\Asynchronous;
​
(...)
​
#[Asynchronous("orders")]
#[CommandHandler("order.place", endpointId: "place_order_endpoint")]
public static function placeOrder(PlaceOrderCommand $command, array $metadata, QueryBus $queryBus) : self
{
    $orderedProducts = [];
    foreach ($command->getProductIds() as $productId) {
        $productCost = $queryBus->sendWithRouting("product.getCost", ["productId" => $productId]);
        $orderedProducts[] = new OrderedProduct($productId, $productCost->getAmount());
    }
​
    return new self($command->getOrderId(), $metadata["userId"], $orderedProducts);
}
We do it by adding Asynchronous annotation with channelName used for asynchronous endpoint. 
Endpoints using Asynchronous are required to have endpointId defined, the name can be anything as long as it's not the same as routing key (order.place). 
#[CommandHandler("order.place", endpointId: "place_order_endpoint")]
You may mark Event Handler as asynchronous the same way.
Let's run our command which will tell us what asynchronous endpoints we have defined in our system: ecotone:list
bin/console ecotone:list
+--------------------+
| Endpoint Names     |
+--------------------+
| orders             |
+--------------------+
We have new asynchronous endpoint available orders. Name comes from the message channel name.
You may wonder why it is not place_order_endpoint, it's because via single asynchronous channel we can handle multiple endpoints, if needed. This is further explained in asynchronous section.
Let's change orderId in our testing command, so we can place new order.
public function run() : void
{
    $this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
        "product.register",
        ["productId" => 1, "cost" => 100]
    );
    $this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
        "product.register",
        ["productId" => 2, "cost" => 300]
    );
​
    $orderId = 990;
    $this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
        "order.place",
        ["orderId" => $orderId, "productIds" => [1,2]]
    );
​
    echo $this->queryBus->sendWithRouting("order.getTotalPrice", ["orderId" => $orderId]);
}
After running our testing command bin/console ecotone:quickstartwe should get an exception:
AggregateNotFoundException:
                                                                               
  Aggregate App\Domain\Order\Order:getTotalPrice was not found for indentifie  
  rs {"orderId":990}  
That's fine, we have registered order.place Command Handler to run asynchronously, so we need to run our asynchronous endpoint in order to handle Command Message. If you did not received and exception, it's probably because orderId was not changed and we already registered such order.

Let's run our asynchronous endpoint
bin/console ecotone:run orders -vvv
[info] {"orderId":990,"productIds":[1,2]}
Like we can see, it ran our Command Handler and placed the order.
We can change our testing command to run only Query Handlerand check, if the order really exists now.
class EcotoneQuickstart
{
    private CommandBus $commandBus;
    private QueryBus $queryBus;
​
    public function __construct(CommandBus $commandBus, QueryBus $queryBus)
    {
        $this->commandBus = $commandBus;
        $this->queryBus = $queryBus;
    }
​
    public function run() : void
    {
        $orderId = 990;
​
        echo $this->queryBus->sendWithRouting("order.getTotalPrice", ["orderId" => $orderId]);
    }
}
bin/console ecotone:quickstart -vvv
Running example...
400
Good job, scenario ran with success!
There is one thing we can change. 
As in asynchronous scenario we may not have access to the context of executor to enrich the message,, we can change our AddUserIdService Interceptor to perform the action before sending it to asynchronous channel.
This Interceptor is registered as Before Interceptor which is before execution of our Command Handler, but what we want to achieve is, to call this interceptor before message will be send to the asynchronous channel. For this there is Presend Interceptor available.
Change Before annotation to Presend annotation and we are done.
namespace App\Infrastructure\AddUserId;
​
class AddUserIdService
{
   #[Presend(0, AddUserId::class, true)]
    public function add() : array
    {
        return ["userId" => 1];
    }
}
Ecotone will do it best to handle serialization and deserialization of your headers. 
Now if non-administrator will try to execute this, exception will be thrown, before the Message will be put to the asynchronous channel. Thanks to Presend interceptor, we can validate messages, before they will go asynchronous, to prevent sending incorrect messages.
The final code is available as lesson-7:

git checkout lesson-7
We made it through, Congratulations! 
We have successfully registered asynchronous Command Handler and safely placed the order. 

We have finished last lesson. You may now apply the knowledge in real project or check more advanced usages starting here Modelling Overview.
