Exposing a WSDL when not using MessageDispatcherServlet

[olalu]

I have made a transition from using a MessageDispatcherServlet to using a normal DispatcherServlet to avoid having duplicate code for handling hibernate sessions in the web service compared with the rest of the application. I followed the instructions in the reference documentation under
"5.3.2. Wiring up Spring-WS in a DispatcherServlet"

The webservice works fine but I'm having trouble exposing the wsdl without the automated support in MessageDispatcherServlet.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I have found a solution exposing the wsdl via a custom controller, see below

import com.tacton.tcsite.utils.BaseController;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import org.springframework.ws.transport.http.WsdlDefinitionHandlerAdapter;
import org.springframework.ws.wsdl.WsdlDefinition;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class WsdlExposingController extends BaseController {

	WsdlDefinition wsdlDefinition;

	public ModelAndView defaultAction(HttpServletRequest request,
									  HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
		WsdlDefinitionHandlerAdapter wsdlDefinitionHandlerAdapter = new WsdlDefinitionHandlerAdapter();
		wsdlDefinitionHandlerAdapter.handle(request, response, wsdlDefinition);
		return null;
    }

	public void setWsdlDefinition(WsdlDefinition wsdlDefinition) {
		this.wsdlDefinition = wsdlDefinition;
	}
}
