I had the same error as you. I've found the solution here: http://mmmsoftware.blogspot.com.es/2009/06/xml-namespace-error-with-spring-ws.html

Basically you have to use upper versions of xalan and xercesimpl. My pom's dependencies look like this:

<project ...>
 ...
<dependencies>

             ...

    <dependency>
        <groupId>jaxen</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxen</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.3</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>

            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

             ...

    <dependency>
        <groupId>xalan</groupId>

 ...
</project>

I hope it helps you.

Answer 2

I've just managed the same problem.

In my situation the problem was in old spring-ws version being used with HTTPS.

Upgrading to the latest (2.1.3) helped.

Answer 3

i had this problem

i created xml file that write a envelope soup in it.and run it by curl like this:

curl --header "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8" --header "SOAPAction:urn:LoginRequest" --data @loginRequest.xml http://.....:8080/.../LoginRequest.asmx

then it return upper exception .

in my case ,the problem was extra line in loginRequest.xml

i just remove extra line ,it fixed :)
