      org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.AbstractSaxPayloadEndpoint

All Implemented Interfaces:

PayloadEndpoint

public abstract class AbstractSaxPayloadEndpoint
extends TransformerObjectSupport
implements PayloadEndpoint

Abstract base class for endpoints that handle the message payload with a SAX ContentHandler. Allows subclasses to create a response by returning a Source.

Implementations of this class should create a new handler for each call of createContentHandler, because of thread safety. The handlers is later passed on to createResponse, so it can be used for holding request-specific state.

1.0.0

Method Detail

invoke

public final Source invoke(Source request)
                    throws Exception

Invokes the provided ContentHandler on the given request. After parsing has been done, the provided response is returned.

Parameters:

request - the payload of the request message, may be null

Returns:

the payload of the response message, may be null to indicate no response

Throws:

Exception - if an exception occurs

createContentHandler

protected abstract ContentHandler createContentHandler()
                                                throws Exception

Returns the SAX ContentHandler used to parse the incoming request payload. A new instance should be created for each call, because of thread-safety. The content handler can be used to hold request-specific state.

If an incoming message does not contain a payload, this method will not be invoked.

Returns:

a SAX content handler to be used for parsing

Throws:

Exception

getResponse

protected abstract Source getResponse(ContentHandler contentHandler)
                               throws Exception

Returns the response to be given, if any. This method is called after the request payload has been parsed using the SAX ContentHandler. The passed ContentHandler is created by createContentHandler(): it can be used to hold request-specific state.

If an incoming message does not contain a payload, this method will be invoked with null as content handler.

Parameters:

contentHandler - the content handler used to parse the request

Throws:

Exception
