Sorry about the delay in replying - I was on vacation :-)

  | IMO this would be the easiest. Another option would be indirect creation though the MC. Then the factory would become part of jbossws-beans.xml.

How would we get the properties instance (which will be different per typeset for which the JAXBContext is being created) into this factories scope?

This forum post to the JAXB Forums should explain why we need it: http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=27591&tstart=0

The changes I'm talking about are not really low level from a JBossWS perspective.  The JAXBContext class provides 2 factory methods for creating the JAXBContext, one which takes a properties set and one which does not.  From a JBossWS perspective, we're just talking about being able to specify a property set.  To see how I'm doing this at the minute, see the JBossWSAdapter class - search for references to JAXBContextCache.  So at the moment I relying on a hack whereby I'm setting the JAXBContext properties (for the SOAP message being processed) via a Threadlocal.
