Need more information how to run tutorial WS project

[Chates]

Hi all, just following this WS tutorial http://static.springsource.org/sprin.../tutorial.html

I need more detailed instructuins how to install / run downloaded spring-ws-2.1.1.RELEASE-full.zip My short questions:

(I have STS installed)

• Do I need to add this folder somewhere or is it stand alone distribution of Spring? What exactly I just downloaded?
• When I try "mvn package" inside samples/tutorial folder there is unresolvable pom.xml. Do I need to edit it in some way? (error: Non-resolvable parent POM for org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-samples:2.1.1.RELEASE: Could not find artifact org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-parentom:2.1.1.RELEASE in central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @ org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-samples:2.1.1.RELEASE, /Users/Chates/springsource/spring-ws-2.1.1.RELEASE/samples/pom.xml, line 3, column 13 -> [Help 2])
• Is there any instructions from NOTHING how to get it run? All tutorials assume you have it installed and running. I have spent 2 days wondering what to do with this and still cant run basic tutorial :-(

Hey!

Anybody on this forum able to help? This seems to be a problem with the Spring WS libs not being available via Maven or something related. When I download the release and run maven on the samples, I can see that error message as well.

Cheers,

Thank you Martin, I have been working on this whole day. You need to edit pom.xml files.

You need to delete <parent> element in ../pom.xml and merge it with pom.xml in the project folder. <parent> element points to wrong local direction dont know where. You also need to add <version> elements to all dependencies.

I am disappointed with this Spring "Quick start" not working. It took 3 days for me as a total beginner not familiar with Maven to run this.

Hey!

Glad to hear that you made some progress here. And sorry about this somewhat not very straight forward experience as a beginner with this. What about contributing your fixes/changes back to the project? I guess that would be highly appreciated.

Cheers,

I'm just testing agaist spring-ws-2.1.1.RELEASE-full.zip and, there is NO any problem to build samples/tutorial by running 'mvn package' , both Maven 2 and Maven 3 work.

1) you might miss to place settings*.xml file ? ( default location is ${user.home}/.m2 )
2) has your machine connected to internet ? ( make sure your maven downloading to local repository works well )
