<int:service-activator id="accountServiceActivator"

if i edit the mail to some other values it ll get called twice
if i change agan it s working fine.I dont understand on what scenarios its getting called twice

Answer 1

You are using the same "requestHandler" for both of your service activators, so its obvious it will be called twice.
You can't know which activator is called for the handler method as when you debug you can only check for the handler method being called.
To better handle this, use different a handler method for each of your service activators. Even if they are using similar operations, it will be more clear and easy to debug.
I would suggest to add channel interceptors for logging of incoming and outgoing messages just to get a better idea.
