Answer 1

Had similar problem when we're switching from Ant to Maven. We use Sun JDK 1.6u20.

We've missed these libraries in maven-assembled war's:

jaxws-api jaxws-rt jaxws-tools

After adding them all works as it had worked before. Hope this will help someone!

Answer 2

There are two interesting things about that stack trace:

1) It is having problems finding an SAAJ implementation. Probably adding saaj-impl.jar to the classpath might resolve that.

2) It's not using CXF at all. It's using the Sun JAX-WS reference implementation that's built into the jre. Thus, it looks like the cxf jars aren't being picked up at all.
