CXF ClientProxy getClient “not a proxy instance”

Question

I'm attempting to use WS-security with my Apache CXF client. I need to get a hold of the client endpoint so I can add a WSS4J interceptor. However, when I call ClientProxy.getClient() I get an IllegalArgumentException with the following message:

not a proxy instance

Code:

MailingService_ServiceLocator serviceLocator = new MailingService_ServiceLocator();
MailingService_PortType port = serviceLocator.getMailingServicePort();

Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(port);  // throws exception

...

// Create client interceptor
AuthenticationInterceptor authenticationInterceptor =
  new AuthenticationInterceptor(schemaNS, outprops, organizationName, null);

client.getEndpoint().getOutInterceptors().add(authenticationInterceptor);

Trace:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: not a proxy instance
    at java.lang.reflect.Proxy.getInvocationHandler(Unknown Source)
    at org.apache.cxf.frontend.ClientProxy.getClient(ClientProxy.java:93)

It turns out I was using the wrong code generation tool. I was using the org.codehaus.mojo axistools-maven-plugin, which gives you a service which extends java.rmi.Remote. However, I needed to use the org.apache.cxf cxf-codegen-plugin, which gives you a service that does implement Proxy.

New code:

MailingService_Service mss = new MailingService_Service();
MailingService service = mss.getMailingServicePort();

ClientImpl client = (ClientImpl) ClientProxy.getClient(service);

New pom:
