Major Description
There is a version conflict in transitive dependencies of cxf regarding the stax2 api.
cxf-rt-ws-policy uses the org.apache.neethi library, which is dependant on a version 3.1.1 of stax2 api, however cxf-core and its dependency com.fasterxml.woodstox uses a version 4.1 of stax2 api. Unfortunately, these versions are not compatible - java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.codehaus.stax2.ri.EmptyIterator.getInstance()Lorg/codehaus/stax2/ri/EmptyIterator;
