Null pointer in WSDLServiceFactory

Facing the same issue as mentioned here : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2171

spring configuration contains
<bean id="testProxy" class="test.TestProxyImpl">
<property name="testEndPoint" ref="testService"/>
</bean>

<bean id="testService" class="test.jaxws.testServiceImpl">
<property name="serviceInterface" value="test.jaxws.testServiceEndPoint"/>
<property name="wsdlDocumentUrl" value="${test.service.URL}"/>
<property name="username" value="${test.username}"/>
<property name="password" value="${test.password}"/>
</bean>

which loads the wsdl from remote webservice, everything works fine here Issue occurs when in another configuration file , try to create a new cxf webservice. Configuration below:
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml"/>
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" />
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" />

<jaxws:endpoint
id="HelloWorld"
implementor="test.ws.HelloWorldImpl"
address="/hello" />

Now I get error:

Here I want to consume external webservice and also create new web service using apache cxf. Any suggestions?

Note: it is not a maven project. As everything was working well with first configuration file , changing cxf lib versions is not an option.

Running in tomcat 6 and cxf libs in classpath are :
cxf-2.1.0.jar, cxf-core-3.1.2.jar

Tried changing the sequence of both xml configurations , but of no use.
