Jax-ws client spring xml bean configuration to java based configuration?

Question

Can you help me convert following spring xml based configuration to java based configuration of beans?

<jaxws:client id="helloClient"
                  serviceClass="demo.spring.HelloWorld"
                  address="http://localhost:9002/HelloWorld" />

You just need to declare a bean in any of your configuration classes with the properties you have in your question. It should look something like this:

@Bean(name = "helloClient") // this is the id
public HelloWorld helloWorld() {
    String address = "http://localhost:9002/HelloWorld";
    JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factoryBean = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
    factoryBean.setServiceClass(HelloWorld.class);
    factoryBean.setAddress(address);

    return (HelloWorld) factoryBean.create();
}

Your method will return an object of the Service class. You need a Jax proxy factory bean to set the properties and then create the client (cast it to your service class) and return it.
