Invoking a JAX-RPC web service causes javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException Cannot find ServiceFactory implementation

Issue

• Following is a client code to invoke a JAX-RPC based web service :

        ServiceFactory factory = (ServiceFactory) ServiceFactory.newInstance();
        Service        service = factory.createService(url, qname);
        Call           call    = service.createCall(port, operation);
       call.invoke(new Object[] { xmlInput });

which causes the below exception :

ERROR [stderr] (Thread-52 (HornetQ-client-global-threads-1027800564)) javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException: Cannot find ServiceFactory implementation
ERROR [stderr] (Thread-52 (HornetQ-client-global-threads-1027800564))      at javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory.newInstance(ServiceFactory.java:94)

• Migrating a JAX-RPC application from EAP 5 to EAP 6 is giving the following error:

ERROR [com.example.resource.impl.RequestServiceImpl][bulkRequest] Cannot find ServiceFactory implementation: javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException: Cannot find ServiceFactory implementation
    at javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory.newInstance(ServiceFactory.java:94) [jboss-jaxrpc-api_1.1_spec-1.0.1.Final-redhat-3.jar:1.0.1.Final-redhat-3]
