JAX-WS removed from Java 11

JAX-WS is no longer bundled with Java 11.

According to the release notes, Java 11 removed the Java EE modules:

java.xml.ws (JAX-WS, plus the related technologies SAAJ and Web Services Metadata) - REMOVED
  • Java 8 – OK
  • Java 9 – DEPRECATED
  • Java 10 – DEPRECATED
  • Java 11 – REMOVED

See JEP 320 for more info.

You can fix the issue by using alternate versions of the Java EE technologies. Simply add a com.sun.xml.ws : jaxws-ri Maven artifact that contains the technologies you need:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
  <artifactId>jaxws-ri</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.2</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Jakarta EE 8 update (Mar 2020)

Instead of using old JAX-WS module you can fix the issue by using Jakarta XML Web Services from Jakarta EE 8:

<dependency>
  <groupId>jakarta.xml.ws</groupId>
  <artifactId>jakarta.xml.ws-api</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
  <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.3</version>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

Use latest release of Jakarta XML Web Services 3.0:

  <artifactId>jakarta.xml.ws-api</artifactId>
