Exception on apache cxf when calling JaxWsProxyFactoryBean.create() (in maven project)

Question

I wrote a Client that uses a Webservice. Works well in a seperate project. But when I try to use it in my maven project, it fails. The dependencies are correct:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.8</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.8</version>
</dependency>
    <!-- Jetty is needed if you're are not using the CXFServlet -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.8</version>
</dependency>

But the error seems to occur calling this method:

JaxWsProxyFactoryBean.create();

This is what I get:

    10.06.2010 12:50:59 org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ReflectionServiceFactoryBean buildServiceFromClass
INFO: Creating Service {http://tempuri.org/}BMWebServiceSoapService from class net.myClassPath.BMWebServiceSoap

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/wsdl/extensions/soap12/SOAP12Address

Does anyone have a clue? Thanks!

Do a maven dependncy:tree or similar. It LOOKS like you are picking up an old or bad version of wsdl4j.
