trying to get a contract-last SOAP-based web service running - on the 2 yard line

[Stuart Rogers]

Java 1.7
Spring 3.1.1 with Spring-WS 2.1.1
Joda
Hibernate 3.6
SqlServer 2008 R2
Maven 3
Tomcat 7
Eclipse 3.7

...and the saga continues...

have made progress with my contract-last SOAP web service.
Project's name in Eclipse is :
dept_forms_webservice
And after fighting the lifecycle-mapping demon it now compiles and generates FormsService.wsdl in
.../META-INF/schema

I've simplified a few things...

com.xxx.forms.web.endpoint.FormsEndpoint.java

package com.xxx.forms.web.endpoint;

import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;

@WebService
public interface FormsEndpoint
{
    @WebMethod String tryToFindOneTemplate();
    @WebMethod public String hello();
}

com.xxx.forms.web.endpoint.FormsEndpointImpl.java

package com.xxx.forms.web.endpoint;

@WebService(endpointInterface="com.xxx.forms.web.endpoint.FormsEndpoint")
public class FormsEndpointImpl implements FormsEndpoint
{
....
}

Tomcat manager shows the web service dept_forms_webservice as running
but clicking on the service threw the dreaded "no bean named 'cxf' is defined" error.
Googling turned up only one useful suggestion - moving the cxf imports from servlet-context to root-context.
Sure enough that solved that particular problem.

But color me blind but I still can't seem to bring up the wsdl in my browser.
Clicking on the service within Tomcat manager now reports "No service was found".
Shouldn't it list the service(s) available?

And trying anything starting with
http://localhost:8080/dept_forms_webservice
also reports "No service was found"

trying anything starting with
http://localhost:8080/endpoint.web.forms.xxx.com
throws a 404

So at this point I'm utterly stumped. There must be some fiendishly subtle configuration
error I'm making.

Could use a little more help please.


TIA,

Still-struggling Steve

    <jaxws:endpoint id="formsServiceService"  
                    implementor="#formsEndpoint"  
                    wsdlLocation="META-INF/schema/FormsService.wsdl"    
                    address="/foo" />

[1] The qddress attribute looks wrong. Should it not be /FormsEndpointPort or about, should it?
[2] After that, your trys should follow closely what the soap:address tells you what to do. And that your port exposing the services is 9090 as shown there, or is it a typo?
Test again focusing on these details?...
