javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException in CXF

I got the below exception in apache-cxf-3.1.2 and tried a lot to resolve it and did not get any positive help, So planned and upgraded to the latest version apache-cxf-3.1.4 , but bad luck issue remains same in apache-cxf-3.1.4

 DefaultValidationEventHandler: [ERROR]: prefix wsdp is not bound to a namespace
Location:  node: [wsd:Types: null]

Further Details:

Applicaion server : Tomcat 7

JDK/JRE Version : 1.7.0_75

Question :

1. I did any misconfiguration that cause this exception? or it is related to CXF version?

2. Is there any way to resolve this annoying exception.

FYI,

• it works fine with apache-cxf-2.7.17

• and this exception not stopping any functionalities.

Thanks,

Looks like you have WS-Discovery turned on. This is done by placing cxf-services-ws-discovery-service and cxf-services-ws-discovery-api in the classpath. Remove these from your classpath (e.g. from maven pom.xml) and you should no longer see the error messages.
