Error enabling SpringBeanAutowiringSupport within a JAX-WS web service

I am trying to enable Spring autowiring support in my webservice, following the lines of

public class MyService extends SpringBeanAutowiringSupport imp开发者_如何学Pythonlements SomeInterface {

private Dao dao;

@Autowired
public void setDao(Dao dao) {
    this.dao = dao;
}

With the MyService class annotated with

@WebService(endpointInterface = "SomeInterfacePath")

However, when I try and run this, I get a

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext()Lorg/springframework/web/context/WebApplicationContext;
at org.springframework.web.context.support.SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.processInjectionBasedOnCurrentContext(SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.java:81)
at org.springframework.web.context.support.SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.<init>(SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.java:68)

error, which I haven't been able to find a resolution to. I'm using Spring 3.0 jars and apache-cxf. Spring autowiring works elsewhere in my project but doesn't seem to play nicely here. Any ideas as to what is going on? I have a a jaxws endpoint defined in my appConfig as

<jaxws:endpoint 
    id="myendpoint" 
    implementor="MyService" 
    address="/helloworld
    />

Until recently, Apache CXF pulled Spring 2.5.5 as a maven dependency. However, CXF Version 2.3 and newer use Spring 3.

• Apache CXF parent pom 2.2.1:

  <spring.version>2.5.5</spring.version>
  

• Apache CXF parent pom 2.3:

  <spring.version>3.0.4.RELEASE</spring.version>
  

Both include a <dependencymanagement> section that ties Spring to the specified version.
