Description

In FOMParser.java in getXMLInputFactory() method StAXUtils.getXMLInputFactory(StAXParserConfiguration) is used from Axiom-Api, which is there no more in axiom 1.2.10 (that is used as a dependency in root pom.xml).

Also about Axiom dependency:

In file -
trunk\dependencies\ deps.properties

you can find dependency to axiom-1.2.5

axiom.api.jar=axiom-api-1.2.5.jar
axiom.impl.jar=axiom-impl-1.2.5.jar

While in pom.xml Axiom-1.2.10 is used (and their interfaces are a bit different)

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.ws.commons.axiom</groupId>
<artifactId>axiom-api</artifactId>
<version>1.2.10</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.ws.commons.axiom</groupId>
<artifactId>axiom-impl</artifactId>
<version>1.2.10</version>

For this reason, if you will follow directly this instructions -

with Abdera v >1.0 you will get
