I'm definitely surprised the system property didn't work. I wonder if a
combination of setting the system property and then making sure the the
contextClassLoader().getResource("META-INF/...") call grabs the file would
work.
You could just do use the JaxWsProxyFactoryBean in CXF directly to create the
client proxy. That would bypass the SPI stuff.
JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
factory.setAddress("http://localhost:9000/helloWorld";);
HelloWorld client = factory.create(HelloWorld.class);
