Spring Webservices

I've heard about Spring Webservices for quite sometime now, but didnt really look into it until yesterday. Here is an example of a POJO that is annotated with @Endpoint annotation.

@Endpoint
public class PurchaseOrderEndPoint implements PurchaseOrderWebService {
 private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(PurchaseOrderEndPoint.class);

 /**
  * Process purchase order
  *
  * @param request purchase order request
  * @return
  */
 @PayloadRoot(localPart = PURCHASE_ORDER_REQUEST,
namespace = PURCHASE_ORDER_NAMESPACE)
 public PurchaseOrderResponse processPurchaseOrder(PurchaseOrderRequest request) {
     LOG.info("Received purchase order request");
     PurchaseOrderResponse resp = new PurchaseOrderResponse();
     resp.setPurchaseOrderNumber("DEBUG MESSAGE");
     return resp;
 }


 /**
  * Check for order status
  *
  * @param req order status enquiry request
  * @return
  */
 @PayloadRoot(localPart = PURCHASE_ORDER_STATUS_ENQUIRY_REQUEST,
namespace = PURCHASE_ORDER_NAMESPACE)
 public PurchaseOrderStatusEnquiryResponse checkPurchaseOrderStatus(PurchaseOrderStatusEnquiryRequest req) {
     LOG.info("Received purchase order status enquiry request");

     PurchaseOrderStatusEnquiryResponse rsp = new PurchaseOrderStatusEnquiryResponse();
     rsp.setStatus(PurchaseOrderStatus.RECEIVED);
     return rsp;
 }
}

So thats multiple payload handler in one POJO class, instead of one endpoint per payload handler like what I used to do at work.
