Spring WS DefaultWsdl11Definition Error

Question

I am using Spring WS and declaring a DefaultWsdl11Definition bean to generate the WSDL Files on the fly.

However , When i start the webserver (tomcat) I get a bean instantiaion error due to :

    Caused by: org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.DefaultWsdl11Definition]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/wsdl/extensions/ExtensibilityElement

Bean in SpringWS-Servlet.xml

<bean id="beanWS" class="org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.DefaultWsdl11Definition">
        <property name="schema">
            <bean class="org.springframework.xml.xsd.SimpleXsdSchema">
                <property name="xsd" value="/WEB-INF/somexsd.xsd"/>
            </bean>
        </property>
        <property name="portTypeName" value="beanWS"/>
        <property name="locationUri"
                  value="http://localhost:8080/springws"/>
    </bean>

Any Idea what the problem might be ..

PS : Spring version is 3.0.5 , Spring WS Version is 2.0.0-M3

Thanks

Spring-WS depends on the WSDL4J library, which you seem to be missing.

I got the same error. Then I realized that wsdl4j dependency was missing.

<dependency>
    <groupId>wsdl4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>wsdl4j</artifactId>
</dependency>

In case if you upgrade your Spring-ws version you can use below pom.xml

<properties>
    <spring.version>4.2.5.RELEASE</spring.version>
    <spring.ws.version>2.2.4.RELEASE</spring.ws.version>

You need the WSDL library to be included. The POM for Spring WS Core 2.0.0-M1 includes this reference:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.ws/spring-ws-core/2.0.0-M1
