cxf + wss4j + maven NoSuchMethod error

Had the exact same problem. In my case, upgrading to wss4j 2.x.x didn't help. I had 2 overlapping dependencies and once I removed the redundant wss4j one and only relied on spring-ws-security, everything ran fine. The key thing is to use spring-ws-security 3.x.x and not 2.x.x. Issue was described here: https://jira.spring.io/browse/SWS-970

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-ws-security</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.ws.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>wss4j</artifactId>
<version>1.6.15</version>

I too had the same issue. It resolved by using the dependency "wss4j-ws-security-common-2.0.3.jar"

For more detail on wss4j 2.0.0 migration, pl refer "http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/migration/wss4j20.html"

CXF 3.0.0 does not work with WSS4J 1.6.15. You need to use WSS4J 2.0.0 instead.
