User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Initialize WS in deployment descriptor?": http://community.jboss.org/message/527805#527805 Author : Richard Opalka Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/richard.opalka@jboss.com Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Though the bean specified in servlet-class is not servlet, users can specify load on startup for such beans. During the deployment process the webservice bean is translated to servlet that will handle the requests.   *Thus setting load-on-startup is the solution you're looking for.* -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/527805#527805
