Spring ws: No adapter for endpoint

Question

I am trying to create a sample project from this tutorial, and running the server side project on tomcat-6.0.14, but when I am trying to call the webservice using SoapUI with below xml:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:sch="http://mycompany.com/hr/schemas">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
  <sch:HolidayRequest>
     <!--You may enter the following 2 items in any order-->
     <sch:Holiday>
        <sch:StartDate>2006-07-03</sch:StartDate>
        <sch:EndDate>2006-07-03</sch:EndDate>
     </sch:Holiday>
     <sch:Employee>
        <sch:Number>42</sch:Number>
        <sch:FirstName>Kevin</sch:FirstName>
        <sch:LastName>Garnett</sch:LastName>
     </sch:Employee>
  </sch:HolidayRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The return xml is:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
  <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
     <faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server</faultcode>
     <faultstring xml:lang="en">No adapter for endpoint [public void com.mycompany.hr.ws.HolidayEndpoint.handleHolidayRequest(org.jdom.Element) throws java.lang.Exception]: Is your endpoint annotated with @Endpoint, or does it implement a supported interface like MessageHandler or PayloadEndpoint?</faultstring>
  </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Why this No adapter for endpoint happening? I googled it, but didn't find the root cause. Could anyone offer some help?

Here are my code and configuration:

Answer 1

The tutorial hasn't been updated for a while. The tutorial still references JDOM1 whereas newer versions of Spring Web Services only support JDOM2.

<dependency>
    <groupId>jdom</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdom</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

Change to

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jdom</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdom</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>

And change the org.jdom imports to org.jdom2.
