Interesting, where do you get the wsdl from? You are already doing the correct thing to rename return but you name it "Hello". Hence, your generated wsdl should read: | <message name="CustomersSessionBean_HelloWorldResponse"> | <part name="Hello" element="s0:HelloWorldResponse" /> | </message> | If you inserted @WebResult(name="parameters") then you should get: | <message name="CustomersSessionBean_HelloWorldResponse"> | <part name="parameters" element="s0:HelloWorldResponse" /> | </message> | This definitely works with JBossWS-1.0.2.
