Spring-JAXWS error

[Sonya Ling]

I am writing authenticate service using Spring 2.5.6 with both Hessian remoting implementation and jaxws web service implement. Hession remoting is working fine. However, there is still error in jaxws web service implementation. Basically, I follow the instruction of the link https://jax-ws-commons.dev.java.net/spring/ and have both JAXWS2.1.1 and jaxws-spring download . In the process, I got com.sun.xml.ws.model.RuntimeModelerException: runtime modeler error: Wrapper class com.ceg.security.core.jaxws.jaxws.Authenticate is not found. Have you run APT to generate them.
I ran ant wsgen and resolve that issue. Now, I got another error like the following

Any idea, why, I attached both web.xml and applicationContext.xml. I am not using autowired. Thanks.
