Hi,
I am getting error below in web application running on Web Sphere 7 (jdk 1.6) test server in RAD 7.5. Could you please tell me the root cause of this error? Do I have incompatible jars on my class path?

Here is the list of third parth jar files included in WEB-XML\lib of this application

I meant to say I have those jars in WebContent\WEB-INF\lib

Please use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code.

Check your full classpath (i.e. your server) as you probably have some spring jars somewhere else or you are mixing spring versions (also spring-ws is an older version which might not fully work with Spring 3.0 you want the new 2.x line for that).
