Spring-WS Service Says there is "No Adapter for for Endpoint" when as far as I can see there is - spring

Question

I'm trying to write a fairly simple Spring-WS service which accepts a String and returns a String, I've defined the endpoint Class and as far as I can tell everything looks fine. But when I hit the service using SOAP-UI I get the following error message:
No adapter for endpoint [public java.lang.String
uk.co.company.product.identification.service.IdentificationServiceEndpoint.getIdentificationData(java.lang.String)]:
Is your endpoint annotated with #Endpoint, or does it implement a
supported interface like MessageHandler or PayloadEndpoint?
I'm at my wits end because as far as I can tell everything is what it should be...

Answer 1

Your method signature is off, instead of a String it expects a IdentificationRequest and IdentificationResponse as return type.
#PayloadRoot(localPart="IdentificationRequest", namespace=TARGET_NAMESPACE)
#ResponsePayload
public IdentificationResponse getIdentificationData(#RequestPayload IdentificationRequest address){
String identification = identificationService.getIdentificationData(address.getAddress());
ObjectFactory factory = new ObjectFactory();
IdentificationResponse response = factory.createIdentificationResponse();
response.setIdentificationData(identification);
return response;
}
Your method should look like something above.

Answer 2

There are couple of reasons why you could be seeing this error.
1. If you are looking at Spring web services example , then your jdom version could be incorrect. This is what pom should look like
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jdom</groupId>
<artifactId>jdom</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
If your method return type is incorrect as pointed above
If you are using complex type, then make sure your bean has been annotated with #XmlRootElement
