Hi,
You might be interested to knowI had the same problem using spring-ws 1.5.6 and jdk 1.5.12.
I managed to solve it by specifying the DocumentBuilderFactory implementation. Since I am using java 1.5, I decided to set the xerces implementation that ships with this version. I set the following system variable:
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun. org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFac toryImpl
This solved the error. The downside may be that when you use an application server, you will have to redeploy it.
