I am just trying to do a very simple web service using Spring but have run into an issue. I get the following excpetion when weblogic is starting up SEVERE: Context initialization failed org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException : Config uration problem: Unable to locate NamespaceHandler for namespace [http://cxf.apa che.org/jaxws] Offending resource: ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/beans.xml] at org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.FailFastProblemReporter.err or(FailFastProblemReporter.java:68) at org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ReaderContext.error(ReaderC ontext.java:85) at org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ReaderContext.error(ReaderC ontext.java:80) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.er ror(BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.java:261) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.pa rseCustomElement(BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.java:1111) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.pa rseCustomElement(BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.java:1104) at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentRe ..........................

(I did append the cxf jar in front of weblogic classpath to get rid of portType not found error). I'm using weblogic 9.2 Thanks Sushil
