The web subsystem could be enabled to setup endpoints based metadata that you attach to the DeploymentUnitContext. A (better) alternative would be that the WS DUP registers a WSService that has a dependency on some JBossWebService. When the WSService activates it uses well defined/stable API from the JBossWebService to setup a web endpoint.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>IMHO, this is generally needed because other subsystems like the OSGi <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v42/org/osgi/service/http/HttpService.html">HttpService </a>may also need to setup Http endpoints through API.

In short, JBossWeb would need to expose a set of well defined services that allows others to setup endpoints.</p></blockquote><p> Yep, thanks for the reply, this alternative would be nice too...</p></blockquote><p>Just to track what Thomas and me had been discussing yesterday, this alternative approach would enable us to design the AS7 integration of ws in a way such that the webservice subsystem can really expose a service for starting/stopping endpoints independently from the deployment. This would basically make  it possible to support the following usecases:</p><ul><li>other subsystems (osgi for instance) can rely on this ws subsystem service providing an endpoint they can depend on</li><li>the declaration of an endpoint can become part of the domain xml, basically allowing for addition of "default" endpoints declaration to the domain</li></ul><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><span>Cross link: </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://community.jboss.org/thread/158869" target="_blank">http://community.jboss.org/thread/158869</a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Message was edited by: Alessio Soldano - added link to osgi dev forum thread on the httpservice requirement</p></div>
