newline being removed from payload when getting in messages over http gateway

[biju.kunjummen]

Hi, I am not sure if I am mistaken somewhere - In my Spring Integration application, I have two inbound gateways defined, one for http and one for jms. I am seeing all the newline characters of the messages being routed through the http gateway being removed, whereas it is retained correctly in the jms gateway.

	
<http:inbound-gateway id="httpInbound"
		extract-reply-payload="true" supported-methods="POST" request-channel="enterHttp"
		reply-channel="exitHttp" />

<jms:message-driven-channel-adapter
		id="jmsIn" destination="destination" channel="enterJMS" />

Could you attach a test case that shows this behavior to a JIRA issue? We can discuss if it's a problem that needs fixing there.

Thanks iwein, I overreacted, on a second try with a standalone project I did not see this behavior with http inbound gateway, the newlines are being correctly preserved, so it looks like it is something specific I am doing in my first project. I am still checking on what could be causing the newline truncation behavior with my first project. One thing I noticed was that the http request explicitly requires a content-type header of text/xml, otherwise it gives the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type [org.springframework.integration.message.GenericMessage] to required type [java.lang.String]: no matching editors or conversion strategy found

Yeah, iirc the default is to convert the request to a byte[], because a request is like a box of chocolates* (unless the Content-Type is set).

I believe you meant "a box of chocolates"?
