Unable to deploy the project in Apache tomcat with apache cxf

Question

I have created a soap web service using spring 4.2.4, apache cxf 3.1.4 and maven 3.0. When I try to deploy the application, I am getting an error like below:

Answer 1

That version of cxf is not compatible with Spring 4.2.x - those methods were deprecated in Spring 3.1 and were removed in Spring 4.2.

See the commit here. CXF needs to change the method call to use ClassUtils#isCglibProxyClass(Class).

You'll have to check with the CXF folks to see if they have a version that works with Spring 4.2.
