Dynamic WSDL generation error for Echo Sample

Hi,

I am facing a problem reconfiguring the Echo sample in a Spring MVC project via Eclipse currently, and everything builds fine, except for the XsdBasedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder.

I get the error below:

The following is the bean declaration for the in the servlet xml file, which is almost the same as in the sample except for the server port:
<bean id="echo" class="org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.DynamicW sdl11Definition">
<property name="builder">
<bean class="org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.builder. XsdBasedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder">
<property name="schema" value="/WEB-INF/echo.xsd"/>
<property name="portTypeName" value="Echo"/>
<property name="locationUri" value="http://localhost:7001/echo/services"/>
</bean>
</property>
</bean>

The echo.xsd file is in the correct location, which only leaves the portTypeName or the locationUri being the mistake.

I'm trying to deploy the application on a weblogic server, could that be an issue?

Hope someone might be able to help.

Is WSDL4J (wsdl4j-1.6.1.jar) on your classpath? That jar contains javax.wsdl.Definition, etc.

No, I haven't included it in.
I haven't got the dependancies from Maven in the Project as well.

This is my first time working with Maven, and was having trouble getting the related libraries downloaded.

Will try it out. Thanks
