Problem with java mail - suspect geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec-1.0-M1.jar is the problem

[Deepak Gupta]

I'm using CXF 2.0.3-incubator with Maven 2.

I get this exception when I try to use java mail from within my web service
(running on Tomcat 5.5.16) :-

constructor(Session, URLName): protocol=smtp; type=

Having searched on the web, it appears this indicates that there are 2
implementations of java mail on the classpath. Tomcat has the Sun
mail.jaras expected, but having run a "mvn site" it seems I have a
geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec-1.0-M1.jar on my classpath.

Does anyone which if any CXF pom.xml may be pulling this in, so I can
exclude it ?
thanks,

Deepak
