Hi, I know I'm late, both for this specific issue (I was on vacation) and in general on this ws deployer topic (trying to catch up with a lot of things I still need to learn). This post is just to understand if/what I can actually do to improve the jbossws deployer.

There're currently 3 jbossws real deployers, WebServiceDeployerEJB, WebServiceDeployerPreJSE and WebServiceDeployerPostJSE. Each of them is configured with 2 DeployerHook, a JAX-RPC and a JAX-WS one. Perhaps one could duplicate the deployers (even removing the current deployerhooks layer, let's forget about the multiple ws stacks, etc.) having a WebServiceDeployerEJB-JAXWS, WebServiceDeployerEJB-JAXRPC, etc. This would allow to have different input/ouput for jaxws and jaxrpc deployers. So the problem is not with the deployment hooks, but with having a single real deployer do everything in case of a ejb deployment?
