Issue

• A web service client is deployed in JBoss EAP 6. It is based out of Apache CXF 2.7.4.
• JBoss will start without error messages. When calling the web service via the client, the following below exception is encountered:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

• The content of the manifest.mf shows the below content

Import-Package: org.slf4j.impl;version=1.5.8

• I tried to change to slf4j version 1.7.5 which is coming with cxf. But it gets to another error while starting up JBoss:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder.getSingleton()Lorg/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder;

• Seems as if hibernate is using slf4j in a former version, 1.5.8, but cxf wants version 1.7.5.
