Answer 1

Check that your project has appropriate JDK.

Right click on the project --> Properties --> Compiler

I created your file in Java8, and it worked.

Answer 2

in the pom.xml file add

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.jws</groupId>
  <artifactId>javax.jws-api</artifactId>
  <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>
