com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Unexpected close tag </span>; expected </br> - cxf

Question

I created the stub classes using CXF wsdl2java tool.
I am using Apache CXF library, with JCIFS. I validated the WSDL file itself through couple tools, it is good. Here is the code. It looks like some setting I must do.
//JCIFS Authentication related code
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.domain", "NTS");
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.netbios.wins", "ecmchat.mark.gov");
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.soTimeout", "300000"); // 5 minutes
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.netbios.cachePolicy", "1200"); // 20 minutes
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.username", "user");
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.password", "password");
//Register the jcifs URL handler to enable NTLM
jcifs.Config.registerSmbURLHandler();
//WSDL and Client settings
URL wsdlURL = BF.WSDL_LOCATION;
if (args.length > 0 && args[0] != null && !"".equals(args[0])) {
File wsdlFile = new File(args[0]);
try {
if (wsdlFile.exists()) {
wsdlURL = wsdlFile.toURI().toURL();
} else {
wsdlURL = new URL(args[0]);
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
BF ss = new BF(wsdlURL, SERVICE_NAME);
BFSoap port = ss.getBFSoap12();
Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(port);
HTTPConduit http = (HTTPConduit) client.getConduit();
HTTPClientPolicy httpClientPolicy = new HTTPClientPolicy();
httpClientPolicy.setConnectionTimeout(36000);
httpClientPolicy.setAllowChunking(false);
httpClientPolicy.setReceiveTimeout(32000);
http.setClient(httpClientPolicy);
// Calling the method
System.out.println("Invoking testMethod...");
String _testMethod__return = port.testMethod();
System.out.println("testMethod.result=" + _testMethod__return);
I am getting the following exception
Caused by: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Unexpected close tag </span>; expected </br>.

If I comment out the JCIFS NTLM authentication code, I get a HTTP 401 error. Therefore, I believe, at least it is passing some kind of authorization step.
And, if I use local WSDL in place of remote URL WSDL, then I get a different error like "method not implemented" on the call to the method. May be this is due to me not using the local WSDL correctly. I do not even know if we can use the local WSDL reference for remote service.
Then, I created a SoapUI dummy service with this WSDL, and the same code (but without the JCIFS authentication code) works good, and successfully calls the methods.
It appears to me that I must add some more appropriate settings in the configuration related code.
Am I right, and are you aware of any, for NTLM authentication and Apache CXF?
But parsing error is confusing???

I do not know if this is related.
My original WSDL URL that I gave was this.
https://ecmchat.mark.gov/BF/BF.asmx
I added a ?wsdl like below
https://ecmchat.mark.gov/BF/BF.asmx?wsdl
Then I am getting a different error.
I wonder why it is working if I access my local SoapUI version of the same WSDL service, but not for the remote one.
