Cliente TCP Spring sem transformador

eu seguiesta exemplo para configurar um cliente TCP no Spring. Abaixo está o meutcpClientServerDemo-context.xml arquivo onde está o transformador. Alguém pode me ajudar a remover o transformador e enviar os dados como estão, sem modificações? Se eu tentar remover a linhareply-channel='clientBytes2StringChannel' ou até torná-lo nulo, recebo exceções ao criar o projeto.

EDITAR:

Agora eu posso enviar as mensagens usando um serializador / desserializador personalizado. Infelizmente, porém, não consigo receber as respostas. Aqui está o meu serializador / desserializador:

public class CustomSerializerDeserializer implements Serializer<String>, Deserializer<String> {
protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(this.getClass());

public void serialize(String input, OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException {
    logger.info("inside serialize");
    outputStream.write(buildSampleMsg(input));
    outputStream.flush();
}

public String deserialize(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
    logger.info("inside deserialize");
    final int bufferSize = 1024;
    final char[] buffer = new char[bufferSize];
    final StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
    Reader in = new InputStreamReader(inputStream, "UTF-8");
    for (;;) {
        int rsz = in.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
        if (rsz < 0) {
            break;
        }
        out.append(buffer, 0, rsz);
    }
    logger.info(out.toString());
    return out.toString();
}

public byte[] buildSampleMsg(String body){
    logger.info("inside buildsamplemsg");
    ......
    return hexStringToByteArray(data);
}

Eu tenho alguns logs feitos na primeira linha do serializador / desserializador, mas o log nunca é impresso. O que, por sua vez, significa que não obtemos resposta. Qualquer ajuda será apreciada.
