[jbossws-users] [JBossWS] - NPE deploying web services in service archive in CR1 release

I am trying to deploy a sar in AS5.0.0.CR1 which includes several war files. These wars include JaxWS SEI classes anotated with WebService annotations. The AS is using the bundled version of JBossWS Native. The war file deployment breaks because the WS KernelLocator bean has not been intiialized. This is supposed to happen via bean injection according to the bean definition in jbossws-container-beans.xml located in server//deploy. However, the war file is processed (by an instance of JaxWSDeployerHookPreJSE) before the value is injected. The deployer tries to look up the wsf runtime via the kernel and receives a null pointer exception (stack trace as follows): . . .
