Spring web services version implemnetation approach

[nsydaiah]

Hi,

I have a requirement to maintain the different versions of particular web service.There is a chanse of having multiple versions(unbounded) for single web service. I have read in spring documentation recommending to implment PayloadTransformingInterceptor, which will based on xslt transformations.

How can we implement to transform the multiple versions of old messsages to new messages For ex:- we have the following versions
1) V1.0
2) V1.1
3) V1.2
4) V1.3
Here the question is, Do i need to have xslt file for each version? If that is case where should register the xslt files per each version.
We are prefering message transaformations using JAXB. Is there any other solution to implement versioning using JAXB objects?

You cann add an interceptor to do the xslt transformation. We have tried it. It is a pain to write/debug...

A more easy way to do it is to create a new webservice for the new version.

Precise that OldWebService is depretaced in V2 should be used. So the old one still exist with the new version.
But if your boss think that XSLT Transformation is THE THING todo do because Uncle ExpertOFTheDay tell him that it is the case, tell him to write it
