I am trying to consume a public web service using spring 2.5.6. I think my code matches the documented instructions, but blows up on initializing the service bean with:
Code:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'emailValidateService' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is com.sun.xml.ws.model.RuntimeModelerException: A WebService annotation is not present on class: email.EmailValidateService
My guess is that either the docs are out of sync with 2.5.6 (again!) or I am using the wrong class for the service and somehow giving Spring the impression that I have a stub from a service that I created (I did not, using a public service). My full code is below.

Help!!!

applicationContext.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
