Invocation init method failed;nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:Could not initialize class com.sun.xml.ws.model.WrapperBeanGenerator

Question

I was using cxf-rt-transports-http v2.2.10 dependency on my project, when I update it to cxf-rt-transports-http v3.5.5, all my test cases and code keep giving me below error.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.10</version>
</dependency>

To

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.5</version>
</dependency>

I am getting below error.

Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.xml.ws.model.WrapperBeanGenerator

When I compare dependency tree:

In my project, I was using jaxws-rt v2.2.8, when I was playing with the various versions etc, by adding jaxws-rt v2.2.10 worked, all test cases and app is working fine.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.10</version>
</dependency>
