groovy/grails, CXF and generated classes

[Jason Botwick]

I'm trying to get a simple service client running against the following WSDL:


I used SoapUI 1.7.6 to generate the service classes, one of which is this:

@WebServiceClient(name = "api", targetNamespace =
"http://api.bronto.com";, wsdlLocation =
"http://api.bronto.com/?q=mail_3&wsdl";)
public class Api extends Service {

    private final static URL WSDL_LOCATION;
    private final static QName SERVICE = new
QName("http://api.bronto.com";, "api");
    private final static QName ApiPort = new
QName("http://api.bronto.com";, "apiPort");
    static {
        URL url = null;
        try {
            url = new URL("http://api.bronto.com/?q=mail_3&wsdl";);
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            System.err.println("Can not initialize the default wsdl
from http://api.bronto.com/?q=mail_3&wsdl";);
            // e.printStackTrace();
        }
        WSDL_LOCATION = url;
    }

    public Api(URL wsdlLocation, QName serviceName) {
        super(wsdlLocation, serviceName);
    }

    public Api() {
        super(WSDL_LOCATION, SERVICE);
    }

    /**
     *
     * @return
     *     returns ApiPort
     */
    @WebEndpoint(name = "apiPort")
    public ApiPortType getApiPort() {
        return (ApiPortType)super.getPort(ApiPort, ApiPortType.class);
    }

}

But when I execute the following code in a brand new Grails app
(Grails 0.6, Groovy 1.1b):

I get the error below. Not even where to start looking to solve this
one (except Google, which I already tried). Any suggestions?
