Solution
This issue is due to the fact that CXF packages have been removed from AEM and you have to install those externally.
- Stop AEM
- Find and open this file in a text editor: crx-quickstart/conf/sling.properties
- Modify this line:
Before:
org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=com.yourkit.*, ${org.apache.sling.launcher.bootdelegation}
After:
org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=sun.*,com.sun.*,jdk.internal.reflect,jdk.internal.reflect.*,com.yourkit.*,${org.apache.sling.launcher.bootdelegation}
4. Start AEM
Obs!
