Imagine you're at the end of deployment processing chain (in your case servlet have been initialized).
When you published endpoint from such servlet using old endpoint publish API the JBossWS AS integration implementation
called AS internals and was executing deployment chain once again (with many really ugly hacks involved to make it work).

Unfortunately yes. This part of JAX-WS specification is completely broken an unclear and many pieces of it NOT PORTABLE!
I'd call it experimental feature of JAX-WS spec.

Believe me, it wouldn't work  ;) 

>>> Thanks for your support, I will consider your recommendation for switching to CFX as well.

You are welcome.
