No adapter for endpoint; Is your endpoint annotated with @Endpoint, or does it implement a supported interface like MessageHandler or PayloadEndpoint?

Question

I am struggling with an Spring-WS with JMS example. I set the Spring-WS and JMS wiring as per the Spring recommendations. But I kept getting following error. I dont know how to

Answer 1

I had the same error, but only running my Spring Web Service integration tests.

The problem was that I setup the Jaxb2Marshaller with a different configuration if compared with Jaxb2Marshaller inside the test. I was not using the same Bean for the application and test.

My Jaxb2Marshaller with the application running is:

private Jaxb2Marshaller marshaller() {
    Jaxb2Marshaller marshaller = new Jaxb2Marshaller();
    marshaller.setContextPath("com.company.application");
    marshaller.setMtomEnabled(true);
    return marshaller;
}

But on my tests, I was using:

@Before
public void init() throws Exception {
    marshaller.setPackagesToScan(ClassUtils.getPackageName(Order.class));
    marshaller.afterPropertiesSet();
}

To make the test work, I just defined the two missing properties:

@Before
public void init() throws Exception {
    marshaller.setPackagesToScan(ClassUtils.getPackageName(Order.class));
    marshaller.afterPropertiesSet();
    marshaller.setContextPath("com.company.application");
    marshaller.setMtomEnabled(true);
}

I'm not sure how your complete Endpoint looks, but the class should be annotated with @Endpoint or it should implement MessageHandler or PayloadEndpoint.

On other thing you can play with is the method signature. Spring-WS' endpoint mapping is pretty intelligent: it tries to map input and output classes from your method signature with the WSDL file. Are you sure a String is the @ResponsePayLoad, not a StoreImageResponse?

For example, here's the method signature of one of my endpoint

@PayloadRoot(
    localPart = "GetHiredCandidatesRequest", 
    namespace = DEFAULT_NAMESPACE
)
@ResponsePayload
public GetHiredCandidatesResponse getCandidates (
    @RequestPayload GetHiredCandidatesRequest getCandidate,
    MessageContext messageContext) {
    ...
}

Which is defined in my WSDL like this:

<wsdl:operation name="GetHiredCandidates">
    <wsdl:input message="tns:GetHiredCandidatesRequest" name="GetHiredCandidatesRequest"></wsdl:input>
    <wsdl:output message="tns:GetHiredCandidatesResponse" name="GetHiredCandidatesResponse"></wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>

Do you see how it's mapped? Perhaps you're missing something like that in your signature.
