first steps with spring-ws 1.5.8 : APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ID_PREFIX

[tbp]

Hello,

I just doing my first steps with spring-ws and I am stumbling.

I built a very simple web-service following the reference guide (http://static.springsource.org/sprin.../tutorial.html).

When run this web-service (on jetty, started from maven with mvn jetty:run) I get the following exception, the first time I visit the URL
(my war is called "kontakt-web-service" and my wsdl-definition-bean is called "simple".)
http://localhost:8080/kontakt-web-service/simple.wsdl:

When I call this url a second time I get:

I also find this thread (http://forum.springsource.org/showth... XT_ID_PREFIX) but cannot fix my problem.

When I list my dependecies I get the folowing result:

If there are any spring version conflicts, how can I solve them, as they only can be transitive dependecies?

Can anyone give a hint?

[Marten Deinum]

Use only 1 version of spring, add some excludes to exclude versions prior to spring 3.0, which was also the solution of the other thread.

[tbp]

OK, thanks! This was really the solution:

		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-ws-core</artifactId>
			<version>1.5.8</version>
			<exclusions>
				<exclusion>
					<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
					<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
				</exclusion>
				<exclusion>
					<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
					<artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
				</exclusion>
			</exclusions>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
			<version>3.0.0.RELEASE</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
			<version>3.0.0.RELEASE</version>
		</dependency>

But this means, that the dependecies of org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-core:1.5.8 are not self-consistent.
