No endpoint mapping found for..., using SpringWS, JaxB Marshaller

Question

I get this error: No endpoint mapping found for [SaajSoapMessage {http://mycompany/coolservice/specs}ChangePerson]

Following is my ws config file:

<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.mapping.PayloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping">
    <description>An endpoint mapping strategy that looks for @Endpoint and @PayloadRoot annotations.</description>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.MarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter">
    <description>Enables the MessageDispatchServlet to invoke methods requiring OXM marshalling.</description>
    <constructor-arg ref="marshaller"/>
</bean>

<bean id="marshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller">
    <property name="contextPaths"> 
    <list>
        <value>org.company.xml.persons</value>
        <value>org.company.xml.person_allextensions</value>
        <value>generated</value>
    </list>
    </property>
</bean>


<bean id="persons" class="com.easy95.springws.wsdl.wsdl11.MultiPrefixWSDL11Definition">   
    <property name="schemaCollection" ref="schemaCollection"/>                                               
    <property name="portTypeName" value="persons"/>                                
    <property name="locationUri" value="/ws/personnelService/"/>                              
    <property name="targetNamespace" value="http://mycompany/coolservice/specs/definitions"/&gt;       
</bean>

<bean id="schemaCollection" class="org.springframework.xml.xsd.commons.CommonsXsdSchemaCollection">                   
    <property name="xsds">
    <list>
        <value>/DataContract/Person-AllExtensions.xsd</value>
        <value>/DataContract/Person.xsd</value>
    </list>
    </property>
     <property name="inline" value="true"/>      
</bean>

I have then the following files:

public interface MarshallingPersonService {

public final static String NAMESPACE = "http://mycompany/coolservice/specs";
public final static String CHANGE_PERSON = "ChangePerson";

public RespondPersonType changePerson(ChangePersonType request);
}

and

  @Endpoint
  public class PersonEndPoint implements MarshallingPersonService {

    @PayloadRoot(localPart=CHANGE_PERSON, namespace=NAMESPACE)
    public RespondPersonType changePerson(ChangePersonType request) {
        System.out.println("Received a request, is request null? " + (request == null ? "yes" : "no"));
        return null;        
    }

}

I am pretty much new to WebServices, and not very comfortable with annotations. I am following a tutorial on setting up jaxb marshaller in springws. I would rather use xml mappings than annotations, although for now I am getting the error message.

EDIT: ChangePersonType

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "ChangePersonType", propOrder = {
"applicationArea",
"dataArea"
})
public class ChangePersonType {

@XmlElement(name = "ApplicationArea", namespace = "http://mycompany/coolservice/specs", required = true)
protected TransApplicationAreaType applicationArea;
@XmlElement(name = "DataArea", namespace = "http://mycompany/coolservice/specs", required = true)
protected DataArea dataArea;
@XmlAttribute(required = true)
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(NormalizedStringAdapter.class)
protected String releaseID;
@XmlAttribute
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(NormalizedStringAdapter.class)
protected String versionID;

--The rest are getters and setters.

Answer 1

I solved it. The parameter of the end point class and return variable had to be wrapped in JAXBElement, like JAXBElement.

The reason is

The classes generated by JAXB2 from your schema come in two flavors: those that have a @XmlRootElement annotation, which can be used directly as either parameter or response, and those who haven't. Those classes which haven't got this annotation need to be wrapped in a JAXBElement.

Besides the generated classes from your schema, JAXB2 also generates an ObjectFactory class, which clarifies the use of JAXBElement. There are some factory methods is there, which illustrate how you can use the various schema types.
