NoSuchMethodError when generating code for soap client via Apache CXF 2.x

Question

When I generate the required classes for a SOAP client, via Apache CXF 2.x WSDL2Java I get this exception. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.util.XmlFactory.allowExternalAccess(Ljavax/xml/validation/SchemaFactory;Ljava/lang/String;Z)Ljavax/xml/validation/SchemaFactory; at com.sun.tools.xjc.reader.internalizer.DOMForest.weakSchemaCorrectnessCheck(DOMForest.java:478) at com.sun.tools.xjc.api.impl.s2j.SchemaCompilerImpl.bind(SchemaCompilerImpl.java:260) at com.sun.tools.xjc.api.impl.s2j.SchemaCompilerImpl.bind(SchemaCompilerImpl.java:95) at org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.databinding.jaxb.JAXBDataBinding.initialize(JAXBDataBinding.java:460) at org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJavaContainer.generateTypes(WSDLToJavaContainer.java:727) at org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJavaContainer.processWsdl(WSDLToJavaContainer.java:271) at org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJavaContainer.execute(WSDLToJavaContainer.java:165) at org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJavaContainer.execute(WSDLToJavaContainer.java:416) at org.apache.cxf.tools.common.toolspec.ToolRunner.runTool(ToolRunner.java:103) at org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJava.run(WSDLToJava.java:113) at org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJava.run(WSDLToJava.java:86) at org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJava.main(WSDLToJava.java:184)

How are you running `wsdl2java`? What version of the JAXB runtime are you using (`jaxb-impl-.jar`?) — ck1, Jun 11 '16 at 21:26
Try to generate the code using SoapUI tool. For step by step example see [Generating Client JAVA code for WSDL using SOAP UI](https://dzone.com/articles/generating-client-java-code) — Salman, Jun 12 '16 at 11:39
@ck1 I added the latest jar to my buildpath. That did not fix the problem :( — HaloMediaz, Jun 12 '16 at 16:55
Which java version are you using?. JDK ships with JAXB from java6. Ensure that you do not have old versions of jaxb in classpath — pedrofb, Jun 13 '16 at 08:04
I'm not sure if it is essential, but if you use CXF 2.7, have you included stax2-api and Woodstox-core-asl jars from the 2.7.x CXF distribution? — pedrofb, Jun 13 '16 at 09:32
Ok @HaloMediaz! I am going to summarize the comments for your post — pedrofb, Jun 14 '16 at 05:30

You are using older jaxb-impl dependecy in pom.xml.

All jaxb-impl version are listed here
