TypeMismatchException when defining <target-adapter>

[locklema]

I am getting the following exception

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.integration.endpoint.TargetEndpoint#0': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'test' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'test': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.lang.reflect.Method] for property 'method'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.lang.reflect.Method] for property 'method': no matching editors or conversion strategy found

When defining a simple target adapter in xml. The actual definition is

	<target-adapter id="test" ref="subscriber" method="processRequest" />

The subscriber definition is

	<beans:bean id="subscriber" class="x.x.x.x.x.demo.OrderSubscriber" />

and the class itself is

public class OrderSubscriber {
	public OrderSubscriber(){
		
	}
	
	public void processRequest(Object o) {
		System.out.println(o);
	}
}

If I remove the <target-adapter> definition and instead us annotations everythings is fine.

I am using Spring 2.5.5 and Integration 1.0.0-M4

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

I created JIRA issue INT-272. This is now fixed in svn.
