That extension is specific to Axis. This explains the error message: | | url=file:/D:/java/JBoss/v4.2.2/server/default/deploy/MyWebServiceClass.jws | state: INIT_WAITING_DEPLOYER | | If your web service is an EJB, package it in *.ear. If it is a POJO, package it in *.war or *.wsr. Ok, this is an answer. Thank you. "pramod_bs" answer (=second posting) indicated that there is a way of doing this. BTW: The doc explains how to do it and NOT how to do it NOT. So the docs does not say: *.jws is NOT possible.
