Could not initialize class org.apache.cxf.staxutils.StaxUtils - maven

Question

I'm developing an application using Spring/Maven and I'm experiencing a problem with a dependency. Everything was working but when I added a dependency to Spring-WS, my tests stopped working.
Here is the stacktrace I have, leading to a Failed to load ApplicationContext
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.cxf.staxutils.StaxUtils
at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLManagerImpl.loadDefinition(WSDLManagerImpl.java:256)

And here is the new dependencies :
<!--
Spring WS
-->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-ws-core</artifactId>
<version>${spring-ws.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-ws-security</artifactId>
<version>${spring-ws.version}</version>
</dependency>
I think there is a conflict with CXF dependencies but can't find where :
<!--
Web Service
-->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-core</artifactId>
<version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
<version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-ws-security</artifactId>
<version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>
Here are the conflicts, but when I add an exclusion the problem still occurs
Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Ok I fixed the issue by doing the following :
Upgrade from CXF 2.7.6 to 2.7.7
Add dependency to
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.xml.stream</groupId>
<artifactId>sjsxp</artifactId>
<version>${sjsxp.version}</version>
</dependency>
Can't explain why but the tests run well and the application too.
