Problem in loading WebServiceServlet in WebService implementation

Hello,

I am implementing the WebService using JAX-RPC model using Weblogic 8.1 SP4. I am facing the problem in load WebServiceServlet, if my WebService extends ServletEndpointSupport class of Spring API.

The code attached here,

Java WebService class:
JaxRpcEBusinessService.java:

public class JaxRpcEBusinessService
extends ServletEndpointSupport
implements EBusinessFacade {

/** the WebMDService instance */
private EBusinessFacade eBusinessFacade = null;

/**
* This is a default constructor
*/
public JaxRpcEBusinessService() {
}

protected void onInit() {
this.eBusinessFacade = (EBusinessFacade) getWebApplicationContext().
getBean("eBusinessFacade");
}

// business methods
}


Configuration files:
web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

Can somebody suggest/guide me to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

I am getting the same error, since you have posted the problem in April, I was wondering whether you found the solution. If yes, can you please let me know.

Thanks
Ashish
