cxf.xml support not working on FSW 6.0 with roll-up patch #5

Issue

• According to the solution #802143 the cxf.xml support has been released with the 5th roll-up patch, so we can already add WS-Security with cxf.xml.

• However, we tried to use this feature and apparently it is not working. After changing the cxf.xml file following the solution #1585683 a deployment error is happening and the SwitchYard SOAP reference is not started anymore:

  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.springframework.expression.TypedValue
  

• After updeploying the SwitchYard project and deleting the tmp/ folder, I get a different error but the project still fails to deploy:
