SEVERE: WSSERVLET11: failed to parse runtime descriptor: exception during WSDL parsing

Have been doing development of JAX-WS service in Metro/Tomcat 6 and ran across the following failure when deploying the WAR file. Examination of google results didn't provide the exact answer I needed but resolved it by doing the following:

- Under the WEB-INF a directory called com existed that I had noticed before.
- Examined the contents of it and found the package and java classes was reproduced in this location.
- Deleted the directory, recreated the WAR and redeployed.

All was good!
