I would not say it's hacky, as providing a custom 
javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider impl is something quite common.
However, just to clarify, should another solution be found and put in 
place without much trouble, I'd prefer that. The reason being we've 
doing something similar (leveraging the META-INF/service load system) in 
other area in the past and that taught us this can lead to a lot of 
misunderstandings with users building up the classpath the wrong way and 
thus not getting things working.

Thanks for the collaboration Dan.
Cheers
Alessio
