Hi there,

Sorry for the late reply I have been away.

If you are sending your request as HTML you can convert this to a Java bean in your controller using Spring’s message conversion

See:

Hi all,
I am developing a restful web service using spring 3.0 . And I am a newbee in this.
I am using RAD to develop it n wfetch for testing the web service and I have not used maven.
I pass my inputs through a request xml and this [B]request xml[/B] is sent as the body of POST method.
My problem is the I am not able to retrieve the data that I have passed through the [B]request xml[/B] in the controller class.
Basically I am not able to process any datacoming from request as the POST message body…..

Please help… any suggestions welcome….
thanks in advance……..

@Stephen

In that case you could simply write to the response stream and set the response type like so:

@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
public void myControllerMethod( HttpServletResponse response) {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(yourXMLHere);
response.setContentType("application/xml");
out.close();
}

The HttpServletResponse object is another parameter Spring request mapped methods can use within their signature.

Would that help?

Yes, the requirement is to Post/Put xml to the controller and return xml as the response body. The StringHttpMessageConverter would work fine to extract the posted xml. Then I just need to return a simple xml back in the response body that is where I am stuck. I do not need the Jaxb2Marshaller because I do not have an object unmarshall.

Hi Stephen, Is your requirement to Post/Put XML to a Spring controller? If so Spring providers Message converters: Message Conversion Eggsy

This is so very cool. Works like a charm. Same url can serve both html/text and xml/text.
Question if I have a service which generates xml already, what viewResolver I should use instead of the MarshallingView?
