Upgrading from commons-httpclient to httpclient 4.x.jar facing issues with opensaml latest version

[Harish Kasarla]

Hi All,

In my project i need to update the dependency apache commons-httpclient-3.1.jar to httpclient-4.5.3.jar as commons-httpclient.jar is going to EOL.
The issue i am facing here is opensaml-2.6.6.jaris having dependency of openws-1.5.6.jar and it is having dependency of commons-httpclient-3.1.jar jar. Even though the maven repository says the we can update to httpclient-4.5.3.jar but when i am using opensaml setup i am getting below exception

Error ::
