Deprecated GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter vs DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter

I was looking on Spring WS API for 2.0 and noticed that the GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter has been deprecated

Quote:

---

Deprecated. as of Spring Web Services 2.0, in favor of DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter and MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor.

Source: http://static.springsource.org/sprin...ntAdapter.html

---

I use a Marshaller/Unmarshaller. It works fine with a GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter. I decided to upgrade using the DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter and MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor. So I removed the following declaration:

Code:

---

<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter">
                <constructor-arg ref="castorMarshaller"/>
                <constructor-arg ref="castorMarshaller"/>
        </bean>

---

And added the following:

Code:

---

<bean id="marshallingMethodProcessor" class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.method.MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor">
                <constructor-arg ref="castorMarshaller"/>
                <constructor-arg ref="castorMarshaller"/>
        </bean>
       
        <bean id ="defaultMethondEndpointAdapter" class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter">
                <property name="methodArgumentResolvers">
                        <list>
                                <ref bean="marshallingMethodProcessor"/>
                        </list>       
                </property>
                <property name="methodReturnValueHandlers">
                        <list>
                                <ref bean="marshallingMethodProcessor"/>
                        </list>
                </property>
        </bean>

---

But I keep getting the following error:

Quote:

---

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No adapter for endpoint

---

So I thought I need to set the property in the MessageDispatcher. So I did:

Code:

---

<bean id="messageDispatcher" class="org.springframework.ws.server.MessageDispatcher">
                        <property name="endpointAdapters">
                                <list>
                                        <ref bean="defaultMethondEndpointAdapter"/>
                                </list>       
                        </property>
        </bean>

---

I still get the error.

By the way, I use annotations to mark my endpoint and methods

By the way I tried adding other Adapter types, but only the GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter matches with my endpoint

Code:

---

[DEBUG] [http-8080-Processor24 03:38:14] (MessageDispatcher.java:getEndpointAdapter:280) Testing endpoint adapter [org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter@9a1411]
[DEBUG] [http-8080-Processor24 03:38:14] (MessageDispatcher.java:getEndpointAdapter:280) Testing endpoint adapter [org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.PayloadMethodEndpointAdapter@15291cd]
[DEBUG] [http-8080-Processor24 03:38:14] (MessageDispatcher.java:getEndpointAdapter:280) Testing endpoint adapter [org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter@1e22c75]
[DEBUG] [http-8080-Processor24 03:38:14] (XMLContext.java:createUnmarshaller:177) Creating new Unmarshaller instance.

I got it working :D

Before this was my method:

Code:

---

@PayloadRoot(localPart = REQUEST_LOCAL_NAME, namespace = NAMESPACE_URI)
        public TicketResponse receiveTicket( TicketRequest ticketRequest) {
..
}

---

And that worked with GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter.

With 2.0 that adapter has been deprecated.

With the new adapters, you must use a combination of DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter and MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor. This is basically a pluggable adapter. It's a little complicated but flexible than the GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter.

Here's the new code:

Code:

---

@PayloadRoot(localPart = REQUEST_LOCAL_NAME, namespace = NAMESPACE_URI)
        @ResponsePayload
        public TicketResponse receiveTicket( @RequestPayload TicketRequest ticketRequest) {
..
}

I'm gonna post later a tutorial for this one so that others will know what's new with Spring WS 2.0.x

I've uploaded a tutorial utilizing Spring WS 2.0.0 RC2 build.

Enjoy ;)
