NoSuchBeanDefinitionExeption 'cxf' when using cxf client

[ma...@samsix.com]

   I'm having a particularly weird problem with a CXF client. It's  
being launched from an environment that's somewhat atypical, so I'm  
assuming it's a configuration problem. I can't figure out what could  
possibly be driving it, however. Has anyone else seen anything similar?

   This is cxf 2.2.6. Upgrading could be an option but 2.2.6 is  
working fine from other launching contexts.

   All that is happening here is new Client( null ).

   Relevant things in the classpath:

   /cxf/asm-2.2.3.jar
/cxf/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
/cxf/cxf-2.2.6.jar
/cxf/neethi-2.0.4.jar
/cxf/wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar
/cxf/XmlSchema-1.4.5.jar
/spring-beans.jar
/spring-context.jar
/spring-core.jar
/spring-richclient.jar
