let me know, if you need a small maven project, which reproduces the bug.

We can across this same issue. I have already resolved it locally. The fix is fairly simple.
I wanted to summit a patch for this issue, but I cannot find where and how to attach a file to this issue.
Since I do not have the right to push changes, I put them in my own git repo at https://bitbucket.org/diversit/jaxws-maven-plugin. The fix is in the #129 branch.

If the source repo would have been a git repo, I would have been able to provide a pull request. Time to move to Git? Subversion is so 2000's.

We use this workaround to get it working:

org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons
jaxws-maven-plugin
2.3


-Djavax.xml.accessExternalSchema = all

diversit we might get forward faster if you'd explain the patch you made.
Is this the relevant diff?

The ClassCastException itself seems to be fixed in 2.3.1 (beta)

2.3.0

} catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
            throw (Exception) ex.getCause();
        }

2.3.1

} catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
            Exception rex = new RuntimeException();
            rex.initCause(ex);
            throw ex;
        }

see http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons/jaxws-maven-plugin/2.3.1-b20150201.1248/org/jvnet/jax_ws_commons/jaxws/Invoker.java?av=f
but what was the root cause?

The ClassCastException itself should be a separate issse IMHO. This only seems to be an error as the result of another error.
