Apache CXF Client Error

Our application had a CXF service for which we used the following dependencies. 

compile group: 'org.apache.cxf', name: 'cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws', version:'3.0.1'
compile group: 'org.apache.cxf', name: 'cxf-rt-transports-http', version:'3.0.1'
runtime group: 'org.apache.cxf', name: 'cxf-rt-bindings-soap', version:'3.0.1'
compile group: 'org.apache.cxf', name: 'cxf-rt-rs-extension-providers', version:'3.0.1'
compile 'org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-ws-security:3.0.1'
compile 'org.apache.wss4j:wss4j-ws-security-common:2.0.1'
compile 'javax.ws.rs:jsr311-api:1.1.1'

Now I am writing a client in the same project for a different service, but getting this error

When I comment out the dependency compile group: 'org.apache.cxf', name: 'cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws', version:'3.0.1' it works fine.

I however need this dependency for the existing service. Here is the dependency tree for the compile group: 'org.apache.cxf', name: 'cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws', version:'3.0.1'

I also tried to exclude dependencies but it dint work

compile (group: 'org.apache.cxf', name: 'cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws', version:'3.0.1')
 {
    exclude group: 'org.apache.cxf', module: 'cxf-core' // No Problem
    exclude group: 'org.apache.cxf', module: 'cxf-rt-bindings-soap'  // No Problem
    exclude group: 'org.apache.cxf', module: 'cxf-rt-bindings-xml'  // No Problem
    exclude group: 'org.apache.cxf', module: 'cxf-rt-frontend-simple'  Class Not Found Error
    exclude group: 'org.apache.cxf', module: 'cxf-rt-ws-addr'  // No Problem
    exclude group: 'org.apache.cxf', module: 'cxf-rt-transports-http'  // No Problem  

}
Solution

  • For some weird reason my code in STS/eclipse was referring to Java Web App Libraries. This ended up being a classpath problem problem.

    I must say the error message is very deceiving and can take one countless hours to fix.
