java - spring-boot with spring-ws -SOAP Endpoint not accessable

Question

I am playing around with spring-boot and i run into a problem. To create RESTful webservices is quite easy. But i am not able to run an soap service with spring-boot.

Actually my Project hast the spring-boot-starter-web dependency.

Is there an extra sprint-boot-starter needed that does not yet exist?

What are some workarounds? If i have a web.xml for the SOAP service can i include it somehow in the initialization process? I know that a similar question already exists, but it did not solve my problem because the question there is based on spring-web. So i think my Problem is somewhere else.

The Endpoint of my soap-webservice looks like this one:

@Endpoint
public class MyEndpoint {


    @PayloadRoot(localPart = "myRequest", namespace = "my.ns")
    @ResponsePayload
    public TResponse logRequest(@RequestPayload final TRequest request) {
        //some code
    }
//more methods
}

The endpoint is weird together in an xml which is loaded by spring-boot via the ImportResource annotation.

So my starter class looks like this:

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ImportResource({ "classpath:/my/pack/app.xml" }) //soap-endpoint is configured here. 
public class Example {

    public static void main(final String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Example.class, args);
    }
}

The configuration of the endpoint

Answer 1

Doesn't Spring WS need a MessageDispatcherServlet? So you would need to replace the default DispatcherServlet with one of those, e.g.

@Bean
public MessageDispatcherServlet dispatcherServlet() {
    return new MessageDispatcherServlet();
}
