Hi After doing the initial investigation, it seems to me that introducing a 'blockPostConstruct' property into JaxWsServerFactoryBean can make the trick. Another update which is needed is adding a protected JAXWSServerFactoryBean getter to CXF EndpointImpl so that a JBoss CXF EmdpointImpl can set a blockPostConstruct property to true thus not requiring overriding JAXWSServerFactoryBean and injecting it into CXF EndpointImpl; I'll also enable the injection of a custom ResourceInjector cheers, Sergey
