Yes, that makes sense. I couldn't find a reference to webservices.xml in the JAX-WS spes. Is this just a JAX-RPC feature?
It's actually a JSR 109 concept; the webservices.xml is mandatory for JAX-RPC and optional for JAX-WS.
I can see what I need to do here. It doesn't look like it will be a problem, but I've not tried it yet.
to answer your question on the actual need for populating WS_ENDPOINT_HANDLERS_MAPPING_KEY attachment, yeah, that's required for having the AS7 components properly created for your handlers too.
What AS7 components do you mean here?
I'm referring to the AS7 org.jboss.as.ee.component.ComponentDescription . The org.jboss.as.webservices.deployers.WSIntegrationProcessorJAXWS_HANDLER that's registered at Phase.PARSE_JAXWS_HANDLER_CREATE_COMPONENT_DESCRIPTIONS uses the WSEndpointHandlersMapping data for propagating the naming context in the component descriptors.
Great, I have that working now.
So, it looks like I have this feature under control now. Thanks again for your help, I would have really struggled without it.
