AbstractStaxStreamPayloadEndpoint still not working

Hi!
This is my test code to parse a request message and create a response with
an AbstractStaxStreamPayloadEndpoint:

Code:

---

public class OfficeRegisterWSEndpoint extends AbstractStaxStreamPayloadEndpoint {

  protected void invokeInternal(XMLStreamReader streamReader, XMLStreamWriter streamWriter) {

        try {
            while (streamReader.hasNext()) {
                int event = streamReader.next();
                switch (event) {
                case XMLStreamConstants.END_DOCUMENT:
                    streamReader.close();
                    break;
                case XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT:
                    if (streamReader.getLocalName().equals("officeId")) {
                        event = streamReader.next();
                        if (event == XMLStreamConstants.CHARACTERS) {
                            if (!streamReader.isWhiteSpace())
                            Long officeId = Long.valueOf(streamReader.getText());
                            //call a servie method with id
                            createResponse(streamWriter);
                            return;
                        }
                    }
                default:
                    break;
                }
            }
        } catch (XMLStreamException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private void createResponse(XMLStreamWriter writer) {
       
        try {
        writer.writeStartElement("TestResponse");
        writer.writeStartElement("TestElement");
        writer.writeCharacters("xyz");
        writer.writeEndElement();
        writer.writeEndElement();   
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Parsing of the message works fine but writing the response fails somehow.
No response is created at all. There are no exceptions in the log or on stdout but i guess somewhere an exception is silently caught and not treated or logged.
thx & regards!

Ok i found a workaround for my problem...

From AbstractStaxStreamPayloadEndpoint:

Code:

---

private XMLStreamWriter getStreamWriter(Result result) {
        XMLStreamWriter streamWriter = null;
        if (result instanceof StaxResult) {
            StaxResult staxResult = (StaxResult) result;
            streamWriter = staxResult.getXMLStreamWriter();
        }
        if (streamWriter == null) {
            try {
                streamWriter = getOutputFactory().createXMLStreamWriter(result);
            }
            catch (XMLStreamException ex) {
                // ignore
            }
        }
        return streamWriter;
    }

---

That's the catch block that silently swallows my XmlStreamException.
And the exception is the same as in my previous posting: <Can not create a STaX writer for a SAXResult -- not (yet) implemented.>
--> see http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=26392


To get writing with XmlStreamWriter working i changed the createStreamWriter method of the inner class
ResponseCreatingStreamWriter within AbstractStaxStreamPayloadEndpoint to:

Code:

---

private void createStreamWriter() throws XMLStreamException {         
                // as a final resort, use a stream, and transform that at
                // endDocument()
                os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                streamWriter = getOutputFactory().createXMLStreamWriter(os);
            }
        }

---

and of course in the invokeInternal() of my endpoint class i added a writeEndDocument() at the end of reponse creation.
Now the response message is created properly. This is a workaround only,
to really fix it either the woodstox parser must implement Stax writing from SaxResult or the spring-ws code must be changed to return a StreamResult.

It silently catches the exception, because it is not a fatal error. If a XMLStreamWriter cannot be created from the payload source of the response, a byte array buffer is used in ResponseCreatingStreamWriter (os). Later, that byte array is transformed into the response payload when endDocument() is called.

I do admit that this solution was not very good: it basically required a endDocument() call. So I changed it: it now does the transforming process (if necessary) as part of ResponseCreateingStreamWriter.close(). That method is invoked by the AbstractStaxStreamPayloadEndpoint itself, so it is always called.

This workaround is basically the same as in the main codebase. Calling endDocument() is no longer a requirement, though.

Could you update your sources from Subversion, and see if the current code works for you? Thanks,
