class not found exception : Spring WS - web-services

Question

I am developing a simple web service with Spring 3.1.3 and spring ws-2.1.1.
My web.xml is --
<servlet>
<servlet-name>spring-ws-service</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>transformWsdlLocations</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring-ws-service</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and spring-ws-servlet.xml from Meta-inf is like --
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Answer 1

It is unable to find MessageDispatcherServlet. You need to include dependency for spring-ws-core-<version>.jar in your application WEB-INF/lib or make sure it is already there.
