Stuck when migrating XFire to CXF

[Jingfei Hu <ji...@hotmail.com>]

Hi team,

Recently we began to migrate XFire to CXF due to its incompatibility with Spring 4.x. And our environment is a heavy Spring environment. Below is our Spring beans definition configuration file snippets used in client side to connect to server side which exports WS service using XFire as well.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xmlns:sofa="http://schema.recon.com/sofa/schema/slite"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
    http://schema.recon.com/sofa/schema/slite
    http://schema.recon.com/sofa/slite.xsd">

    <import resource="classpath:org/codehaus/xfire/spring/xfire.xml"/>

    <bean id="wsParent" abstract="true">
     <property name="serviceFactory">
           <ref bean="xfire.serviceFactory" />
            </property>
            <property name="lookupServiceOnStartup">
            <value>false</value>
         </property>
    </bean>

    <!-- Easy to use -->
    <bean id="dataBankService" class="org.codehaus.xfire.spring.remoting.XFireClientFactoryBean" parent="wsParent">
        <property name="serviceClass">
            <value>com.batch.service.facade.databank.DataBankService</value>
        </property>
        <property name="wsdlDocumentUrl">
            <value>http://batch.test.recon.net:8080/batch/dataBankService?wsdl</value>
        </property>
        <property name="properties">
            <props>
                <prop key="http.timeout">30000</prop>
                <prop key="http.connection.timeout">3000</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

</beans>

Follow the migration guide, i convert it to below CXF file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

       xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
            http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

      <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml"/>

      <bean id="dataBankServiceProxyFactory" class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean">
            <property name="serviceClass">
                  <value>com.batch.service.facade.databank.DataBankService</value>
            </property>
            <property name="wsdlURL">
                  <value>http://batch.test.recon.net:8080/batch/dataBankService?wsdl</value>
            </property>
            <property name="properties">
                  <props>
                        <prop key="http.timeout">30000</prop>
                        <prop key="http.connection.timeout">3000</prop>
                  </props>
            </property>
      </bean>

      <bean id="dataBankService" class="com.batch.service.facade.databank.DataBankService" factory-bean="dataBankServiceProxyFactory" factory-method="create">
      </bean>
</beans>

However, it fails due to below error.

The highlighted String is the targetNameSpace in the WSDL document. I believe there are something misconfigured, since the service name should be com.batch.service.facade.databank.DataBankService instead of a string in form of {targetNamespace/}DataBankServiceService but fail to know where. Could you help me to get out of this?

For better troubleshooting, i present below WDSL document outline with details removed. I can attach the full document if you insist.
