OK, as I said before I am looking at areas that require decoupling: a) Meta data retrieval b) Invocation handling For retrieving web service relevant meta data from a ejb3 deployment, I think the contract would cover certain Container methods and annotations representing web service meta data: | Container { | | [...] | | String getEjbName(); | String getBeanClassName(); | <T> T getAnnotation(Class<T>); | } | That's basically already given, I would just need supply the annotations and their implementation.
