How do I send a RSA signed message to tomcat error - spring-ws

Question

I created a webservice using spring ws. When I try to access the service I get the following error
Servlet.service() for servlet [messageDispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xml.security.utils.XMLUtils.decode(Ljava/lang/String;)[B] with root cause
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xml.security.utils.XMLUtils.decode(Ljava/lang/String;)[B

Does someone have an idea what's going wrong? One additional hint: When using the spring client it works. Now I try to use gSOAP to sign the messages, and then there is the Exception. Signing seems to be not the problem, because there is no error message using the provided methods
