Failed to parse WSDL javax.wsdl.WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Cannot create a secure XMLInputFactory
web-services
Solution
You are using a version of CXF that require a "Secure XMLInputFactory". WoodStox 4.2.0 provided such a XMLInputFactory.
It looks like WoodStox 4.2.0 is already a dependency of CXF, so you must have another XMLInputFactory implementation that is picked up by the classloader before the WoodStox one.
I had the same problem and for me it was a GlassFish implementation that caused the conflict.
If you use Maven, check carefully your dependencies.
At last you may debug into CXF. Put a breakpoint in org.apache.cxf.staxutils.StaxUtils.createXMLInputFactory, then restart your server, you will see what jar contains the implementation that is used. Try remove this jar from WEB-INF/lib and see what's happen.

Problem
while deploying one war file which is web service call im getting the exception like ``` Failed to parse WSDL javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a secure XMLInputFactory. ``` I have gone through many forums and couldn't find the absolute solution.Iam struggling with this exception from last three days and couldn't find solution.Please help me out. Please see the exception in detail ``` Aug 23, 2013 12:08:21 PM org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ReflectionServiceFactoryBean isEmptywsdl WARNING: **Failed to parse WSDL javax.wsdl.WSDLException:
