First our current deployers architecture: We have three deployers in place, namely: * WebServiceDeployerEJB * WebServiceDeployerPreJSE * WebServiceDeployerPostJSE These are ordered in the following way: ordering1) EJBDeployer < WebServiceDeployerEJB < WarDeployer ordering2) WebServiceDeployerPreJSE < WarDeployer < WebServiceDeployerPostJSE ordering1) is followed when EJB as WS is deployed (only one WS deployer does all the WS magic) ordering2) is followed in case POJO as WS is deployed (two WS deployers do all the WS magic) Each WS deployer has two deployer hooks registered (JAX-RPC and JAX-WS): +--- WebServiceDeployerEJB ( holds WSDeploymentAspectManagerEJB ) | | | +--- JAXRPCDeployerHookEJB21 | | | +--- JAXWSDeployerHookEJB3 | +--- WebServiceDeployerPreJSE ( holds WSDeploymentAspectManagerPreJSE ) | | | +--- JAXRPCDeployerHookPreJSE | | | +--- JAXWSDeployerHookPreJSE | +--- WebServiceDeployerPostJSE ( holds WSDeploymentAspectManagerPostJSE ) | +--- JAXRPCDeployerHookPostJSE | +--- JAXWSDeployerHookPostJSE Deployer hook represents JBossAS 4 style deployer that does almost all the WS processing stuff. It usually does the following things: * determines the WS deployment type (JAX-WS or JAX-RPC) * constructs initial JBossWS Metadata model that is later used by JBossWS deployment aspects * calls WS deployment aspect manager to build/process WS Metadata model using registered WS deployment aspects The following deployment aspects are registered with particular deployment aspect managers: (AS guys can imagine them like AS deployers, they are following the same chain-of-responsibility pattern and are also kind of ordered set of processors like AS deployers are).
