ServiceConstructionException when creating a CXF web service client

Question

I created a web service client and I am receiving the following error when the web service is being created. I was wondering if I am missing something on this error:

Here is the code:

ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
URL WSDL_LOCATION=null;
if ( null == cl ) cl = SQLService.class.getClassLoader();
WSDL_LOCATION = cl.getResource( "SQLServiceSoap.wsdl" );
QName SERVICE_NAME = new QName("https://myurl.org/services/myService?wsdl", "SQLService");
Service service = Service.create(WSDL_LOCATION,SERVICE_NAME);
SOAPport sqlService = service.getPort(SOAPport.class);
Client client = org.apache.cxf.frontend.ClientProxy.getClient(sqlService);
Endpoint cxfEndpoint = client.getEndpoint();
Map<String, Object> outProps = new HashMap<String, Object>();
outProps.put(WSHandlerConstants.ACTION, WSHandlerConstants.USERNAME_TOKEN);
outProps.put(WSHandlerConstants.USER, soapUser);
outProps.put(WSHandlerConstants.PASSWORD_TYPE, WSConstants.PW_TEXT);
outProps.put(WSHandlerConstants.PW_CALLBACK_CLASS, PasswordCallbackHandler.class.getName());
outProps.put("password", soapPass);
WSS4JOutInterceptor wssOut = new WSS4JOutInterceptor(outProps);
cxfEndpoint.getOutInterceptors().add(wssOut);

String result = sqlService.ping("test");

This is where it dies: SOAPport sqlService = service.getPort(SOAPport.class);

It looks like you don't have the soap binding on the classpath. If using maven, do you have the cxf-rt-bindings-soap artifact as a dependency?
