Integrate Spring Validator within Spring Web Services [SWS-81]

[gregturn]

Martin Flower opened SWS-81 and commented

We would like to reuse our MVC Validators in a Web Services context. My request is basically : what would be best practice ? Arjen has suggested that Spring-WS could add support for Validators in an EndpointInterceptor. In which case, please add this functionality to Spring-WS. Thanks. Martin.

The only place where it makes sense to use validators is in the marshalling endpoints, since there an object is created that can be verified.

Given what Arjen has said it would seem that this is something anyone can do. It doesn't really have to be part of Spring-WS. Meaning that you can implement Validation in your endpoint however you see fit.

That being said; it might be fun to implement a ValidatingMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter that delgates off to a Spring Validator.

Implemented, though only as a subclass of AbstractMarshallingPayloadEndpoint for now: the AbstractFaultCreatingValidatingMarshallingPayloadEndpoint.

Adding the logic to a subclass of MarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter should be possible as well, create a new JIRA issue if you would like to see that.
