Spring-WS
On the job we needed two webservice. Both in the same web context and servlet. We’re using the PayloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping which scans for @Endpoint annotations to detect webservice endpoints.
We defined some interceptors for validation and security, the problem here was that only one of the two @Endpoint’s needed to be secured but with the annotation mapping it seems that all interceptors configured in the xml config file affect all @Endpoint.
After some googling and reading through the spring-ws reference I found that there currently is no solution or work around available. Which seems a bit dull. I did not want to create two servlet contexts I just wanted different interceptors for each @Endpoint annotated class.
Little thinking led me to the following solution: let’s extend PayloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping#createEndpointInvocationChain to add the needed interceptor to the invocation chain.
This resulted in an annotation to define interceptors defined in the application context

and an override of PayloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping to use as mapper

The @Interceptors can then be used like
@Endpoint @Interceptors(qualifiers={"mySecurityInterceptor", "mySpecialLoggerInterceptor"}) public class MyWSEndpoint { ...... |
the MethodEndpointInterceptorAdder will then look for interceptors defined in the application context and add them to the invocation chain.
With little modification this can easily be adapted to an annotation working on method level too.
Great article, this is what I was looking for..
Thanks, great that it can still be of use after 5 years.
Helpful blog, bookmarked the website with hopes to read more!
