XML Support - Dealing with XML Payloads

Spring Integration’s XML support extends the core of Spring Integration with the following components:

You need to include this dependency into your project:

Maven
Gradle

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-integration-xml</artifactId>
    <version>6.4.0</version>
</dependency>

compile "org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-xml:6.4.0"

These components make working with XML messages in Spring Integration simpler. The messaging components work with XML that is represented in a range of formats, including instances of java.lang.String, org.w3c.dom.Document, and javax.xml.transform.Source. However, where a DOM representation is required (for example, in order to evaluate an XPath expression), the String payload is converted into the required type and then converted back to String. Components that require an instance of DocumentBuilder create a namespace-aware instance if you do not provide one. When you require greater control over document creation, you can provide an appropriately configured instance of DocumentBuilder.
