edit the pom.xml file:

change the spring version to 2.5.5.
this is below <!– Framework dependency versions –>
delete the dependency with the artifactId ‘xfire-java5′ and ‘xfire-spring’
insert the cxf dependencies:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
  	<artifactId>cxf-api</artifactId>
  	<version>2.1.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  	<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
	<artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
	<version>2.1.3</version>
        <exclusions>
              <!-- http://www.jroller.com/melix/entry/apache_cxf_maven_javamail_awful -->
              <exclusion>
                   <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
                   <artifactId>geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec</artifactId>
              </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
	<artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
	<version>2.1.3</version>
</dependency>

exclude also asm and the cglib from the hibernate dependency

<exclusion>
	<groupId>asm</groupId>
	<artifactId>asm</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
	<groupId>asm</groupId>
	<artifactId>asm-attrs</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
	<groupId>cglib</groupId>
	<artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
</exclusion>

add the asm-all and cglib dependencies to the top level <dependencies>:

<dependency>
    <groupId>asm</groupId>
    <artifactId>asm-all</artifactId>
    <version>3.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>cglib</groupId>
    <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
    <version>2.2</version>
</dependency>

add the spring-core and spring-web dependency:

<dependency>
     <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
     <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
     <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
      <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>

edit the web.xml file and change /WEB-INF/xfire-servlet.xml in the <param-value> of the <!– Context Configuration locations for Spring XML files to /WEB-INF/cxf-servlet.xml

also replace the servlet named xfire to

<servlet>
      <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet</servlet-class>
      <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

and also the xfire servlet mapping to

<servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping> 

delete WEB-INF/xfire-servlet.xml and make a new file there called cxf-servlet.xml which has this content:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"
        xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd">

        <import resource="classpath:cxf/cxf.xml" />
        <import resource="classpath:cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" />
        <import resource="classpath:cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" />

        <!-- #errorManager points to my manager(with the @webservice annotation)
             defined in my applicationContext.xml-->
        <jaxws:endpoint
          id="errorService"
          implementor="#errorManager"
          address="/ErrorService" />
</beans>

now something i had to do:
download cxf from here and copy the cxf folder from META-INF there to your /WEB-INF/classes/ path. otherwise it will not find the cxf/cxf.xml …

execute:

mvn jetty:run

and check for your service at http://127.0.0.1:8080/services
