servlet load exception

Question

When i try and run at server i am getting the following severe error:

I have the latest Spring-servlet and spring-ws jars included in my path. I do not want to overburden with adding code you wont need so any sections you think i should include let me know. Im sure it is just something small i have forgotten or missplaced.

I have double checked and i do have org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet included under my spring-ws jar. This folder is included under libraries build path still hitting the same problem.

Can you please check once again if jar file containing "org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet" class is present in build path? — Saurabh

On further checking i do have spring ws 2.0.2 with org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet in the project and it is on the buildpath. now i am just confused. — Sean F

Make sure have one of the spring-ws-*.jar in your classpath, Log itself says it can not find class.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet

jars containing this class can be find here.

This is an old link, but it should point you in the right direction:

http://www.coderanch.com/t/443071/Spring/spring-MessageDispatcherServlet-class-not-found

Here are results from jarfinder.com:

http://www.jarfinder.com/index.php/java/info/org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet

Bottom line: make sure you've got the right spring-ws-core-xxx.jar
