Command Endpoint [SWS-18]

[gregturn]

Arjen Poutsma opened SWS-18 and commented

Provide a PayloadEndpoint implementation that resembles the CommandController in Spring-MVC. With this endpoint, it should be possible to populate a Java Bean with information from the incoming message. The population can take many forms. For instance, by providing a map with property names as keys, and XPath expressions as values. As a message comes in, the XPath expressions will be evaluated, and bound to the bean.

We should use the standard Spring Binding and Validation framework as part of this.

We will probably also use the templating support in spring-modules, to render a response message based on a model created in the endpoint.

I'm not sure if this needs to be implemented for 1.0.

I've moved it out of the release plan for now, if you want to see it implemented, vote for it.

I think the new @XpathParam annotation, and O/X marshallers such as TopLink already provide a solution for this.
