Camel CXF throwing AssertionBuilderRegistryImpl exception - cxf

Question

cannot figure out what is going on with this - trying to set up a route to just see cxf connect to a soap web service (I don't care about the actual data and don't expect the data to actually 'work', but it keeps throwing an exception I don't understand:
I wonder if I'm configuring it correctly.
I was thinking it might be a missing jar, but strated causing dependency conflicts when I tried to bring in other Jars
I'm using a maven dependency "camel-cxf" to load in all my jar configuration
"Reason: org.apache.cxf.bus.extension.ExtensionException: Could not load extension class org.apache.cxf.ws.policy.AssertionBuilderRegistryImpl."
The exact error is
"Failed to create Producer for endpoint: Endpoint[cxf://http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?dataFormat=MESSAGE&portName=WeatherSoap&serviceClass=prototypes.CxfExample%24GetWeatherInformationSoapIn&serviceName=Weather&wsdlURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwsf.cdyne.com%2FWeatherWS%2FWeather.asmx%3FWSDL]. Reason: org.apache.cxf.bus.extension.ExtensionException: Could not load extension class org.apache.cxf.ws.policy.AssertionBuilderRegistryImpl."
The code I'm using to cause this is
camel.addComponent( "cxf", new CxfComponent() );
camel.addRoutes( new RouteBuilder() {
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
from( "timer://sometimer?delay=1s")
.to( "cxf://http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx"
+"?wsdlURL=http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL"
+"&dataFormat=MESSAGE"
+"&serviceClass=prototypes.CxfExample$GetWeatherInformationSoapIn"
+"&serviceName=Weather"
+"&portName=WeatherSoap"
);
}
});
camel.start();
Thread.sleep( 10000 );
camel.stop();

I think I have 'solved' it -
mvn:camel-cfx dependency is not enough
you need mvn:neethi dependency too
the AssertationBuildImpl class extends from a class that is not included in the jar-set for mvn:camel-cfx, which makes AssertationBuildImpl appear listed as a known class in the ide, but doesn't get class-loaded at runtime
this was a horrendous problem to track down, by analysing source-code of third-parties
