I've been toying with this for a while. I was able to use jboss.xml to provide a proper URL-prefix for 4.2.3 using jboss.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC | "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 4.2//EN" | "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_4_2.dtd"> | <jboss> | <security-domain>java:/jaas/JBossWS</security-domain> | <webservices> | <context-root>TYPE_YOUR_PREFERRED_URL_HERE</context-root> | </webservices> | </jboss> Unfortunately, 4.2.2 seems to completely ignore this! Anyway, I like the 4.2.3 behavior better (being able to specify the URL prefix of your choice). View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4168329#...
