I was looking around a bit and found that http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_5_0.dtd has context-root as an element of webservices element in jboss.xml. However, context-root is not a webservices element in http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss_5_0.xsd. My jboss.xml was using the schema for validation so I switched to the dtd and tried specifying the context-root in jboss.xml but this had no effect. I'm using JBoss 4.0.5GA with JBossWS 1.2.1. What version of JBossAS/JBossWS does specifying the context-root in webservices element in jboss.xml work?
