Some additional information: There are validation errors in the generated jaxrpc-mapping.xml and webservices.xml files. Their default namespace url references xsds that contain errors: "http://www.ibm.com/webservices/xsd/j2ee_web_services_1_1.xsd" and "http://www.ibm.com/webservices/xsd/j2ee_jaxrpc_mapping_1_1.xsd" It seems that both of these schemas are unable to reference "j2ee_1_4.xsd" View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3982021#...
