Error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/jws/WebService in Java 11

Question

In my cxf webservice invocation while I set the JaxWsProxyFactoryBean service class, I get a fatal error whose trace I have given below. I am migrating my code from java 8 to java 11.

I have set all the required library jars,cxf bundle and jax-ws jars at my build path but still I am unable to resolve the error. Here is my code:

        APIWS _stub = null;
        JaxWsProxyFactoryBean fac = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
        
        fac.setAddress(API_WS_URL);
        fac.setServiceClass(APIWS.class);

        _stub = (APIWS) fac.create();
        Client c = ClientProxy.getClient(_stub);
        HTTPConduit http = (HTTPConduit)c.getConduit();
        HTTPClientPolicy policy = new HTTPClientPolicy();
        policy.setConnectionTimeout(0);
        policy.setReceiveTimeout(0);
        http.setClient(policy);

        c.getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor());
        c.getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingOutInterceptor());
        ApiWS.aboutCall(_stub);
        List<String> output = ApiWS.invokeLiqApiWebService(_stub, transformedQueue);
        outputFileList.addAll(output);

Error:
