Solution

This issue is due to the fact that CXF packages have been removed from AEM and you have to install those externally.

  1. Stop AEM
  2. Find and open this file in a text editor: crx-quickstart/conf/sling.properties
  3. 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!
