---------------------------------------

Hi Jim,
well, my point of view is that this would a) simplify the api from a user point of view (you could use this annotation regardless of the type of ws endpoint, pojo or ejb3), b) allow fully configuring pojo endpoints without web.xml, again something users might like.
The context-root, btw, is not set in the web.xml, but in the jboss-web.xml, which is still not portable, so to me allowing using the @WebContext annotation here would not really affect portability.

This said, I agree supporting this adds a bit of complexity when computing the actual context-root, virtual-host etc., but I still believe it's worth exploring the feasibility of this feature req issue.

> We support @WebContext on EJB endpoints now.
> Since Servlet 3.0 spec allows web deployments
> without web.xml it is worth to support this annotation
> also on POJO WS endpoints.
> There are however two restrictions that must be ensured.
>    If there are multiple WS endpoints in web archive
> all annotated with @WebContext annotation then the following
> restriction must apply:
>  - contextRoot value must be the same for all @WebContext annotated endpoints
>  - virtualHost value must be the same for all @WebContext annotated endpoints
>  - if there's provided jboss-web.xml or jboss-webservices.xml with context root in deployment
> this DD driven context root will have higher priority than context root specified in annotations.
