ServiceConstructionException: Could not resolve a binding for http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/

I get the following exception when I deploy a JAXWS and JAXRS service using the CXF Jetty transport.

This exception goes away, when I do not exclude spring-web in the maven dependency:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty</artifactId>
<version>2.3.3</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

I believe Spring is not a requirement for this Jetty transport module. Could someone clarify this behavior? I am attaching a sample maven project that reproduces this problem. I have checked JIRA and CXF-2284 sounds very similar to this, not sure if I can comment on a closed JIRA, so opened a new one.
