The web subsystem could be enabled to setup endpoints based metadata that you attach to the DeploymentUnitContext. A (better) alternative would be that the WS DUP registers a WSService that has a dependency on some JBossWebService. When the WSService activates it uses well defined/stable API from the JBossWebService to setup a web endpoint.

Just to track what Thomas and me had been discussing yesterday, this alternative approach would enable us to design the AS7 integration of ws in a way such that the webservice subsystem can really expose a service for starting/stopping endpoints independently from the deployment. This would basically make  it possible to support the following usecases:
* other subsystems (osgi for instance) can rely on this ws subsystem service providing an endpoint they can depend on
* the declaration of an endpoint can become part of the domain xml, basically allowing for addition of "default" endpoints declaration to the domain
