JAX-WS Client: Cannot create Service Object (org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl not a subtype)

Question

I have a CXF Soap Web-service which in turn invokes another external SOAP web-service. I've deployed the code to Tomcat 9 running with JDK 11. I'm getting the below exception when i'm trying to create the Service class to invoke the external Service. I tried creating service object in both ways mentioned below.

//Method 1: 
service = Service.create(url, qname);

//Method 2:
service = new SearchService(url, qname);

The runtime exception thrown is below:

javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Error while searching for service [javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider]
