Right, from the class name then I suspect you are using a dusty version 
of the Java Web Service Development Pack or the standalone version of 
JAX-WS that replaced it. You may find that you've got SAAJ in that 
distribution but that it's just not on the class path. So you may not 
need `--add-modules java.xml.ws` and in the future this will not work of 
course without putting this module on the module path (the proposal that 
is Java SE and JDK eventually jettison this module).
