Well, looking at the wsrunclient script i'd say it's really pointless. In order for @WebServiceRef annotations to work on the client side it needs an IoC container that's capable of providing the injection. EJB3 comes with a ClientLauncher (take a look at the jaxws/samples/webserviceref/WebServiceRefClientTestCase.java) that can do it, however its not being used from the script. To me it look like the wsrunclient simply provides a classpath for simple (i.e. Service.create) invocations. I did setup an issue for this: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-1695 Are you intersted in contributing this functionality? I'll gladly advice you.
