In this case it works because JAXRPC war deployer hook checks whether there's the webservices.xml file. If yes it is recognized as webservices archive. In the case of JAX-RPC based webservices that provide webservices.xml there's no problem. In such case webservices.xml is inspected to look for webservices, and not web.xml (as in the case of JAXWS services) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4088471#...
