Description

org.apache.cxf.aegis.type.java5.AnnotationReader, the function 'load' carefully traps ClassNotFoundException to allow it to just float along past problems with classes that are referenced in services. However, there might also be an ExceptionInInitializerError, and those pass through.

In both cases, logging+returning null seems appropriate.
