Using JUnit for testing Apache CXF JAX-WS services - spring

Question

I have one problem with combining Apache CXF 2.7.6, Spring 3.1.4 and JUnit 4.8. I tried multiple scenarios, but it always ends with this exception :
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'client': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.cxf.common.classloader.ClassLoaderUtils.loadClass(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/Class;)Ljava/lang/Class;

My test-application-context.xml is very simple :
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd">
<jaxws:client id="client" serviceClass="sk.package.definitions.some.SomeService" address="http://localhost:9080/some/SomeService" />
And my test case looks like this :
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(locations = { "/test-application-context.xml" })
public class SomeServiceTestCase {
#Autowired
ApplicationContext context;
private SomeService someService;
#Test
public void testGetOffer() {
someService = (SomeService) context.getBean("client");
}
}
I use these three CXF dependencies :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-api</artifactId>
<version>2.7.6</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
<version>2.7.6</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
<version>2.7.6</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
Thank you for any advice,
Marek

Do you have a mix of different versions of CXF artifacts?
check out this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5132?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13709765#comment-13709765
--edit--
I think the exception is caused by cxf-common-utilities. There is a class org.apache.cxf.common.classloader.ClassLoaderUtils in cxf-common-utilities which conflicts with class org.apache.cxf.common.classloader.ClassLoaderUtils in cxf-api
try to remove the dependency of cxf-common-utilities and see if it works
