At last I figured out the issue! 

It looks like JBossWS-CXF jax-ws-client module have some issues in its dependencies thus causing the stack to throw a "+javax.servlet.ServletException"+ due to some missing dependency to "javax.servlet.api" module. I did  the following steps to diagnose and fix the issue:

1. I fixed the module dependency issue of "+org.jboss.ws.jaxws-client" module in JBoss. I modified file JBOSS_HOME/+modules/org/jboss/ws/jaxws-client/main/module.xml and added line under <dependencies/> section.
       <module name="javax.servlet.api" />

    After this fix, JBossWS-CXF is now throwing the correct error. Example stack trace below:

     15:54:14,958 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/jboss-as-helloworld-ws].[HelloWorldService]] (http--127.0.0.1-8083-1) Servlet.service() for servlet                HelloWorldService threw exception: javax.servlet.ServletException: JBWS024029: Cannot obtain destination for /jboss-as-helloworld-ws/hello-world
                  at org.jboss.wsf.stack.cxf.RequestHandlerImpl.findDestination(RequestHandlerImpl.java:168)
                  at org.jboss.wsf.stack.cxf.RequestHandlerImpl.handleHttpRequest(RequestHandlerImpl.java:85)
                  at org.jboss.wsf.stack.cxf.transport.ServletHelper.callRequestHandler(ServletHelper.java:156)
                  at org.jboss.wsf.stack.cxf.CXFServletExt.invoke(CXFServletExt.java:87)

2. I changed my  jbossws-cxf.xml and fixed the jaxws endpoint address

  From:

+    <jaxws:endpoint implementor="#HelloWorldService"+ 
+        address="/hello-world">+
+    </jaxws:endpoint>+

  To:

   <jaxws:endpoint implementor="#HelloWorldService" 
        address="*/jboss-as-helloworld-ws*/hello-world">
    </jaxws:endpoint>


I don't understand why +org.jboss.ws.jaxws-clientI+ module doesn't have a dependency on javax.servlet.api dependency if it is throwing a ServletException. 
Could this be a bug that I should report?

Thanks
Stephen
