Spring-ws and spring-mvc combined

Sometimes we want to use both spring-ws and spring-mvc in one application. However, these are two different stacks. To use them combined is a bit of a hassle, and... lest I forget, this post. The following needs to be set in the applicationcontext:

 
<!-- To nicely support webservices from httprequests, we use the WebServiceMessageReceiverHandlerAdapter (which needs a messagefactory) -->
<!-- Because we declare this, the dispatcherservlet automatically uses it... instead of the normal mvc adapter! -->
<!-- To ensure that the normal mvc adapter is also loaded, we need to define it (the SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter) as well. -->

<!-- Requires a message factory so we declare one -->
<bean class="org.springframework.ws.transport.http.WebServiceMessageReceiverHandlerAdapter">
  <property name="messageFactory" ref="messageFactory" />
</bean>
<bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory" />

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter" />

<!--  and now we can add normal support for both mvc and sws -->
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<sws:annotation-driven />

<!-- Since we want to use our own marshallers, override the default endpoint adapter, which allows us to add our own marshallers. -->

<bean id="defaultMethodEndpointAdapter" class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter">
  <property name="methodArgumentResolvers">
    <list>
      <ref bean="marshallingPayloadMethodProcessor" />
    </list>
  </property>
  <property name="methodReturnValueHandlers">
    <list>
    <ref bean="marshallingPayloadMethodProcessor" />
    </list>
  </property>
</bean>

<bean id="marshallingPayloadMethodProcessor" class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.method.MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor">
  <constructor-arg ref="xmlBeansMarshaller" />
  <constructor-arg ref="xmlBeansMarshaller" />
</bean>
