No adapter for endpoint in Spring Web Service Response

Question

I just cant figure out this error using Spring Web Services. I believe I did everything correctly.

Soap Error Response

Answer 1

I had a similar error message. My problem was in request and response class that I generated from XSD. It missed @XMLRootElement annotation. This caused that description of operation (in WSDL) and description of implemented method (in Endpoint) did not match. Adding JAXBElement to my endpoint method solved my problem.

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement;

@PayloadRoot(namespace = "http://foo.bar/books", localPart = "GetBook")
@ResponsePayload
public JAXBElement<MyReponse> getBook(@RequestPayload JAXBElement<MyRequest>) {
    ...

See this blog for more details: spring-ws: No adapter for endpoint

Answer 2

I think you're missing the return value. Spring-WS uses the method signature to map a request/response combination. For instance, I have the following operation in my generated WSDL:

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

To map a method on this operation the ResponsePayload and RequestPayload need to match the input and output defined in the WSDL:

@ResponsePayload
public GetHiredCandidatesResponse getKandidaat (@RequestPayload GetHiredCandidatesRequest) {
    ..

    return getHiredCandidatesResponse;
}

Hope this helps!
