It is no longer invoking the XSLDeployer's parse method: XSLDeployer | /** | * Parse a deployment | * | * @param unit the deployment unit | * @param file the metadata file | * @return the metadata | * @throws Exception for any error | */ | protected T parse(DeploymentUnit unit, VirtualFile file) throws Exception | Method defined by AbstractParsingDeployer and implemented by the parent JAXPDeployer of XSLDeployer | /** | * Parse a deployment | * | * @param unit the deployment unit | * @param file the metadata file | * @param root - possibly null pre-existing root | * @return the metadata | * @throws Exception for any error | */ | protected abstract T parse(DeploymentUnit unit, VirtualFile file, T root) throws Exception; | So the document never goes through the XSL transformation. It is effectively just deployed as a straight -service.xml View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3976813#...
