--------------------------------------

It just needs a capital F in XFireConfigurableServlet. Here is the corrected servlet definition in the web.xml file:

<servlet>
<display-name>XFireServlet</display-name>
<servlet-name>XFireServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.codehaus.xfire.transport.http.XFireConfigurableServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

Cheers!
