Getting "NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/juddi/ClassUtil" when deploying jUDDI client code on SOA-P

Issue

• I am trying to access jUDDI on SOA-P 5 from the code. The jUDDI client code looks like this:

import org.apache.juddi.ClassUtil;
import org.apache.juddi.v3.client.config.UDDIClientContainer;
import org.apache.juddi.v3.client.transport.Transport;
import org.uddi.v3_service.UDDISecurityPortType;
...
public class JuddiClient {
  private UDDISecurityPortType security = null;
  public JuddiClient() {
    try {
      String clazz = UDDIClientContainer.getUDDIClerkManager(null).getClientConfig().getUDDINode("default").getProxyTransport();
      Class<?> transportClass = ClassUtil.forName(clazz, Transport.class);
      if (transportClass != null) {
        Transport transport = (Transport) transportClass.getConstructor(String.class).newInstance("default");
        security = transport.getUDDISecurityService();
      }
    } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
    // BASIC auth credentials
    Map<String, Object> requestContext = ((BindingProvider) security).getRequestContext();
    requestContext.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "admin");
    requestContext.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "admin");
    ...

• The client code has the following dependency in the pom.xml:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.juddi</groupId>
      <artifactId>juddi-core</artifactId>
      <version>3.1.3</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

• The above client works fine locally. However, when I deploy the same code on SOA-P, I get the following error:
