The point here is that we need to deploy cxf jms endpoint independently from the http endpoint, which might not even be provided. For this reason we need a mean of processing the jbossws-cxf.xml at deplyo time, instead of when initializing the CXFServletExt we have (that extends the CXF servlet). Basically we need a correct integration point for jms transport. So, Richard is right in saying that adding a new deployer might not be a viable solution as it will break the current container integration. A proposal for doing this might then be to add another deployment aspect for doing what Jim originally though about doing in the new deployer (parsing the jbossws-cxf.xml, installing the jms only endpoint, start the cxf bus, etc.) and leave the generated webapp there just to serve wsdl requests (in case of jms only endpoints of course).
