Can anyone please provide your input to know cause and solution of this issue.
we have app-ws-client.xml, that gets loaded when application starts. app-ws-client.xml have below code
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-security.xml" />
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-http.xml" />
Spring context takes care of loading these. and it starts complaining to load cxf-extension-security.xml This code is there since many years... we started facing this issue with just a restart. No changes were done to app-ws-client.xml.
