Karaf 2.3.2
As far as I am aware, I have no references to Apache cxf in my code or container configuration, however when I try to consume Exchange webservices, the jax implementation is being taken over by cxf giving this error as I don't have cxf installed:
./data/karaf.out:javax.xml.ws.spi.FactoryFinder$ConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl not found
I have created the file META-INF\services\javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider with the contents com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi.ProviderImpl, however in Karaf this doesn't appear to register.
Any thoughts as to why it is trying to load cxf despite no references to cxf? Or is there another way to force the use of the default implementation?
Many thanks
For ref, the provider.provide() method which appears to be attempting to load the cxf implementation
/**

* If the $java.home/lib/jaxws.properties file exists and it is readable by

* <li>
* If a system property with the name <code>javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider</code>
