Thanks for the replies. The actual solution was simpler -- I finally saw it because your replies referenced config files not in my jboss instance. The underlying problem: jems-installer-1.2.0.GA.jar contains jbossws 1.0.3.SP1. I assumed that is contained a GA version of jbossws. Simply replace with a current jbossws (like 1.0.4.GA) and the endpoint rewrite problem is solved. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4025482#...
