Is there a way to use a mapping without passing it through the GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter?
Here is the situation:

I have the GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter defined on the xml file with a marshaller. All the endpoints being called are receiving the marshaled objects; however, I have a situation in which I would like to handle the XML request itself without it being marshaled (or perhaps use another marshaling technology). I know that I can get the XML from the request object passed in by just marshaling it again, but I would like to avoid this unnecessary conversion since the data comes as XML anyway.

Here is another thread with perhaps the same issue : http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=58429
