We might probably end up considering completely different approaches to the jbossws-cxf configuration, but I'm wondering if someone here in the mean time has suggestions/idea on how we could keep support for spring configuration for now while limiting the consequences of that (perhaps some tricks with classloading configuration).
You could change the deployment's classloading metadata's parent domain to point to your WS domain,
if you recognize that deployment as WS depolyment and no explicit classloading metadata is given.
