The jboss.xml file does contain several interesting configuration settings but that file is not used by JBossWS. Although the same functionality is already available through the @PortComponent annotation it might still be useful to also support the jboss.xml file.

I did already some investigation of the source code and found out that the ejb3 deployer does not provide an ApplicationMetaData object at the time the JBossWS is intercepting the ejb3 deployer. The "createUnifiedDeploymentInfo" method of the "DeployerInterceptorEJB3' class will in contrast create his own (only taking into account the annotations and not the jboss.xml file).

Will it be added?
