Deprecated GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter vs DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter

[skram]

I was looking on Spring WS API for 2.0 and noticed that the GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter has been deprecated

Deprecated. as of Spring Web Services 2.0, in favor of DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter and MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor.

Source: http://static.springsource.org/sprin...ntAdapter.html

I use a Marshaller/Unmarshaller. It works fine with a GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter. I decided to upgrade using the DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter and MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor. So I removed the following declaration:

<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter">
		<constructor-arg ref="castorMarshaller"/>
		<constructor-arg ref="castorMarshaller"/>
	</bean>

And added the following:

<bean id="marshallingMethodProcessor" class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.method.MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor">
		<constructor-arg ref="castorMarshaller"/>
		<constructor-arg ref="castorMarshaller"/>
	</bean>
	
	<bean id ="defaultMethondEndpointAdapter" class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter">
		<property name="methodArgumentResolvers">
			<list>
				<ref bean="marshallingMethodProcessor"/>
			</list>	
		</property>
		<property name="methodReturnValueHandlers">
			<list>
				<ref bean="marshallingMethodProcessor"/>
			</list>
		</property>
	</bean>

But I keep getting the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No adapter for endpoint

So I thought I need to set the property in the MessageDispatcher. So I did:

<bean id="messageDispatcher" class="org.springframework.ws.server.MessageDispatcher">
		 	<property name="endpointAdapters">
		 		<list>
					<ref bean="defaultMethondEndpointAdapter"/>
				</list>	
			</property>
	 </bean>

I still get the error.

By the way, I use annotations to mark my endpoint and methods

By the way I tried adding other Adapter types, but only the GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter matches with my endpoint

[DEBUG] [http-8080-Processor24 03:38:14] (MessageDispatcher.java:getEndpointAdapter:280) Testing endpoint adapter [org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter@9a1411]

I got it working

Before this was my method:

@PayloadRoot(localPart = REQUEST_LOCAL_NAME, namespace = NAMESPACE_URI)
	public TicketResponse receiveTicket( TicketRequest ticketRequest) { 
..
}

And that worked with GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter.

With 2.0 that adapter has been deprecated.

With the new adapters, you must use a combination of DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter and MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor. This is basically a pluggable adapter. It's a little complicated but flexible than the GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter.

Here's the new code:

@PayloadRoot(localPart = REQUEST_LOCAL_NAME, namespace = NAMESPACE_URI)
        @ResponsePayload
	public TicketResponse receiveTicket( @RequestPayload TicketRequest ticketRequest) { 
..
}

I'm gonna post later a tutorial for this one so that others will know what's new with Spring WS 2.0.x

I've uploaded a tutorial utilizing Spring WS 2.0.0 RC2 build.
