Question

I am developing a simple web service with Spring 3.1.3 and spring ws-2.1.1.

My web.xml is —

<servlet>
<servlet-name>spring-ws-service</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
  <param-name>transformWsdlLocations</param-name>
  <param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring-ws-service</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

and spring-ws-servlet.xml from Meta-inf is like —

  <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.5.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd">
<bean id="stringReversalService">
</bean>
<bean id="stringReversalServiceEndpoint">
<property name="stringReversalService" ref="stringReversalService"/>
</bean>
<bean id="payloadMapping">
<property name="defaultEndpoint" ref="stringReversalServiceEndpoint"/>
</bean>
<bean id="stringReversalSchema">
<property name="xsd" value="/WEB-INF/reversalService.xsd"/>
</bean>
<bean id="stringReversal">
<property name="schema" ref="stringReversalSchema"/>
<property name="portTypeName" value="stringReversal"/>
<property name="locationUri" value="http://localhost:8080/string-reversal/services"/>
</bean>
</beans> 

When building the war and deploy on JBoss 7.1.1 i am getting :-

Answer 1

It is unable to find MessageDispatcherServlet. You need to include dependency for spring-ws-core-<version>.jar in your application WEB-INF/lib or make sure it is already there.
