<?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:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd 
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd">

<bean id="baseWsdlDefinition" abstract="true" class="org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.DefaultWsdl11Definition">
		<property name="requestSuffix" value="Request" />
		<property name="responseSuffix" value="Response" />
	</bean>
	
	
	<bean id="sampleJaxbMarshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller">
		<property name="classesToBeBound">
			<list>
				<value>com.equilibriums.samplespringws.SampleRequest</value>
				<value>com.equilibriums.samplespringws.SampleResponse</value>
			</list>
		</property>
		<property name="marshallerProperties">
			<map>
				<entry key="jaxb.formatted.output">
					<value type="java.lang.Boolean">true</value>
				</entry>
			</map>
		</property>
	</bean>
	<alias name="sampleJaxbMarshaller" alias="sampleJaxbUnmarshaller" />

<bean id="sampleSoapMessageDispatcher" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.server.SoapMessageDispatcher">
		<property name="endpointAdapters">
			<list>
				<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.MarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter">
					<property name="marshaller" ref="sampleJaxbMarshaller" />
					<property name="unmarshaller" ref="sampleJaxbUnmarshaller" />
				</bean>
			</list>
		</property>
	</bean>
    <alias name="sampleSoapMessageDispatcher" alias="/sample-spring-ws"/>
    
	<bean name="sampleWsdl" parent="baseWsdlDefinition">
		<property name="schemaCollection">
			<bean class="org.springframework.xml.xsd.commons.CommonsXsdSchemaCollection">
				<property name="xsds">
					<list>
						<value>/xsd/sample.xsd</value>
					</list>
				</property>
				<property name="inline" value="true" />
			</bean>
		</property>
		<property name="portTypeName" value="Sample" />
		<property name="locationUri" value="/sample-spring-ws" />
		<property name="targetNamespace" value="http://equilibriums.com/sample-spring-ws"/>
	</bean>
	<alias name="sampleWsdl" alias="/sample.wsdl"/>
	
	<bean id="sampleEndpoint" class="com.equilibriums.samplespringws.SampleEndpoint">
	</bean>
</beans>

Hi!
Spring web services mainly use the contract-first approach when developing web services. In such a case you need to write the WSDL yourself.
With that said, you can generate a (first version ?) of your WSDL by writing an endpoint implementation class annotated with JAX-WS annotations and deploy it to a server (GlassFish or Tomcat with Metro, for example).
The JAX-WS web service stack will then generate the WSDL for you. This WSDL can then be used in subsequent development of the web service with Spring web services.
Best wishes!
