The main reason for that error to be thrown is endpoint is not correct when your Web Service client is making a call to service based on SOAP.

org.springframework.ws.client.WebServiceTransportException:NotFound[404]

How to fix it.

1. if you are making a call from java class and passing Default Web Service URI  of End Point , please check URL that’s incorrect that’s why you get 404 error.

2. if you passing from application context.xml. correct there.

Code snippet.

final SoapActionCallback soapActionCallback = new SoapActionCallback(“http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/GetCityForecastByZIP”);
