How to integrate of spring client with Axis WS

[pramodr]

Hi group,

I am quite new to webservices and in the process of learning and
evaluating spring-ws for my project. My question is that how to
invoke
an axis web service with spring-ws client ?

I have tried a spring-ws as follows to consume an axis ws.


Resource res = new
ClassPathResource("applicationContext.xml");


BeanFactory bf = new XmlBeanFactory(res);


WebServiceTemplate webServiceTemplate =
(WebServiceTemplate)bf.getBean("webServiceTemplate");


Source source = new StreamSource(new
StringReader(MESSAGE));
Result result = new StreamResult(System.out);


//this works.

webServiceTemplate.sendSourceAndReceiveToResult(
"http://localhost:8080/WS/
services/EmpService",
source, result);


//however this does not work.
Employee emp = new Employee();
emp.setEmpId("rrr");
emp.setEmpName("xxx");


Object o =
webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(emp);


I need to send and receive POJOs. I think marshall/unmarshall is the
normal way. But since I use the above code, it throws me exception


org.springframework.ws.soap.client.SoapFaultClientException: No such
operation 'employee'.


So I think the request object (request payload) as they call it,
needs
to be passed instead of the pojo. But how do I do it?


Or is there a better way ?


Pasted below are the configurations. Any help in this regard is
highly
appreciated.
