Error while creating SOAP client using CXF in Spring MVC application

Question

I am new to spring framework and this question may be a silly one. But please do provide a solution for this error.

I am getting following error while trying to run Spring MVC application which consumes SOAP based web-service using Apache CXF.

The steps I followed to create the project as follows:

1. Created Spring MVC Project by selecting MVC template in STS IDE.
2. Generated CXF SOAP Client using the wizard.

3. Modified spring config by adding following line.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe this post can help or this . it basically says that you have a version conflict or an old version of slf4j.
