Java 11 package javax.xml.soap does not exist [duplicate]

Answer 1

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:

  com.sun.xml.ws
  jaxws-ri
  2.3.2
  pom

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:

  jakarta.xml.ws
  jakarta.xml.ws-api
  2.3.3


  com.sun.xml.ws
  jaxws-rt
  2.3.3
  runtime

Jakarta EE 9 update (Nov 2020)

Use latest release of Jakarta XML Web Services 3.0:

• Jakarta EE9 API jakarta.xml.ws-api
• compatible implementation jaxws-rt

  jakarta.xml.ws
  jakarta.xml.ws-api
  3.0.0


  com.sun.xml.ws
  jaxws-rt
  3.0.0
  runtime

Note: change javax.* imports to jakarta.*
