Hi Christian,
I think if you still use the old wsdl to create the service , the client
can still work.
I just did a quick test for your case by remove the WSDL2Java generated
SEI's method.
It can reproduce your case.
On the client side if I use the ?wsdl which is generated by CXF to
create the service ,
the client can still work. But if I specified the orginal WSDL , I got
the below exception.
Caused by: org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ServiceConstructionException:
Could not find a matching method for operation

Any thoughts?

If you generate a java client from a wsdl, and then add an operation
to the wsdl but forget to update the client code - how does CXF handle
that situation?
Will the client crash or blissfully hum along (but withut being able
to invoke the new operation)?
I'm asking because it might influence decisions and policies one might
define for managing change and backwards compatibility when working
with CXF web services and clients.
