Problem creating j2ee web service

Question

Hello. I'm having an issue deploying a given java class as a web service. I believe that problem is caused because, in the generated WSDL, the target namespace is set via the package name (i.e. http://myapplication.mycompany.com ), which is not a valid host. I tried changing every occurrence of that URL, in the WSDL, to the context root of my local host, but it still can't resolve the bindings. Given the following deployment message, what should my target namespace be:
(from OC4J startup):
Target URL -- http://localhost:8988/myApp-myProject-context-root/MyWebServiceSoapHttpPort
06/06/12 13:34:17 Web service MenuWebService has been started on the embedded server
06/06/12 13:34:17 Oracle Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.3.0.0) initialized
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Take care.

here are the classes:
service class:
package com.test.service
public class MenuService {
    public MenuService() {
    public String echo(String payload) {
        return payload;
    public ViewRight echoViewRight(ViewRight viewRight) {
        return viewRight;
}view right class:
package com.test.service
public class ViewRight {
  private Integer id;
  private String name;
  private String description;
  private String members;
    public ViewRight() {
  //setters/getters
}Here's the exception I get (if I just try to inovke the string echo method):
