Apache CXF client with Spring MVC - BindingInfo is not SOAPBindingInfo

Question

I am working on a spring MVC project, from which I need to access a webservice(client mode)

My web service client is a different maven project which is working fine from its JUnit test cases.

When i add this as a dependency to my Spring MVC project and access the jar file, I am getting the following exception.

Jul 10, 2012 2:40:09 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [rest] in context with path [/mdot] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not initialize SoapBinding, BindingInfo is not SoapBindingInfo] with root cause

I just found that my mvc project has a cxf bus running in it already.

    <cxf:bus>
    <cxf:features>
        <cxf:logging />
    </cxf:features>
</cxf:bus>

I could not find any additional configuration but i think some REST service interceptors are taking part in my SOAP service client or some other conflict like this. Any Idea ?

I changed my code from programmatically creating web service to use spring like:

 <jaxws:client id="helloClient"
                  serviceClass="demo.spring.HelloWorld"
                  address="http://localhost:9002/HelloWorld" />

and it started working in integrated project also. However I did not understand the reason yet. It would be helpful if anybody can show me the reason.

Thanks.
