How do I set a dependency on Spring Web Services in my POM.xml

Question

I get this on a lot of Maven dependencies, though current source of pain is Spring.

I'll set a Spring version and include it like so:

 <spring-version>3.0.0.RELEASE</spring-version>

 <!-- Spring framework -->
 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
    <version>${spring-version}</version>
 </dependency>

Which works as expected.

I am however having problems setting my dependency on spring-ws-core for web services. The latest I can find in any repo is 2.0.0-M1.

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.ws/spring-ws-core

Any clues on what I need to include in my maven POM to get Spring 3 web services to work :)

Answer 1

Okay,

don't know too much about maven. But spring source have a repository which has maven access at:-

http://www.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=org.springframework.web&version=3.0.2.RELEASE

Looks like the maven stuff is

<dependency>  
 <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>    
 <artifactId>org.springframework.web</artifactId>  
 <version>3.0.2.RELEASE</version> 
</dependency>

But, again, i use ivy not maven!

Edit:

Oh and instructions for adding maven repository stuff are in the faq at http://www.springsource.com/repository/app/faq#q8.

Well, 2.0.0-M1 is simply the latest version of spring-ws-core.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-ws-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0-M1</version>
</dependency>

And actually, the current stable version is 1.5.9.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-ws-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.9</version>
</dependency>
