The Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start installation automatically includes the spring extension files for invoking the spring editor. This enables you to successfully add a spring service component in the SOA Composite Editor and invoke the Create Spring dialog, as described in How to Create a Spring Service Component in Oracle JDeveloper.

If you use the standard Oracle JDeveloper installation outside of Oracle SOA Suite, you must install the spring editor by selecting Check for Updates from the Help main menu in Oracle JDeveloper, then selecting the spring extension files in the Update Center. Otherwise, you cannot successfully add a spring service component into the SOA Composite Editor and invoke the Create Spring dialog. Instead, you receive the error shown in Figure 56-22.
