It's hard to say what is causing this and whether it is a jbossws or jboss seam issue; could you please give us some more details? what are you doing to "clean"? Are there any error or warning in the log during the AS startup? Does this affect also other ws project (without seam)? which version of JBossAS, JBossSeam and JBossWS are you using?
