The WS part of their application would have to be migrated to JAX-WS,
which is a general investment into the future. Note, that I am not
saying to JBossWS. A migration to a standard is the investment.
How much it will eventually cost, I cannot say. Their WS expert could do
a sample migration of one or two endpoints to get an estimate.
