Thanks, looks like the deployment will try to publish the webservice. Is it possible to do the same with an war file? I get the following result with JBoss AS 4.2.2.GA and JBoss Seam 2.0.0.GA: org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@e66bd1cd { url=file:/C:/Users/stahn/Desktop/Downloads/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy/SoapTest4-ear.ear/ } | deployer: org.jboss.deployment.EARDeployer@1123eb0 | status: Deployment FAILED reason: Could not create deployment: file:/C:/Users/stahn/Desktop/Downloads/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy/SoapTest4-ear.ear/SoapTest4-ejb.jar/; - nested throwable: (java.lang.LinkageError: JAXB 2.0 API is being loaded from the bootstrap classloader, but this RI (from jar:file:/C:/Users/stahn/Desktop/Downloads/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp2289jaxb-impl.jar!/com/sun/xml/bind/v2/model/impl/ModelBuilder.class) needs 2.1 API.
