Description

We have upgraded Spring Security to 4.0.3. However we see that cxf-api and cxf bundle is not upgraded to use it.
cxf-core is upgraded to support Spring Security

However we require cxf-core as well as cxf-bundle(for cxf stubbing wsdl2Java)

The issue is that StringBeanDefinitionParser is present in both the these jars with same package name and contents. with one major difference
StringBeanDefinitionParser in cxf-core has below line
builder.addConstructorArgValue(DOMUtils.getRawContent(element));
StringBeanDefinitionParser in cxf-bundle has below line
builder.addConstructorArg(DOMUtils.getRawContent(element));

Always the StringBeanDefinitionParser in cxf-bindle takes precedence and the war deployment fails.

cxf should make these method calls consistent to cope up with upgraded spring security version
Don't understand why this was missed.
