we currently use

jbossws-jboss421-3.0.2-SNAPSHOT
jbossws-jboss422-3.0.2-SNAPSHOT
jbossws-jboss423-3.0.2-SNAPSHOT
jbossws-jboss500-3.0.2-SNAPSHOT
jbossws-jboss501-3.0.2-SNAPSHOT

This works on the premisses that

jboss500 == jboss-5.0.0.Beta4
jboss501 == jboss-5.0.0.CR1

The naming scheme will however fail when CR1 gets released and container integration moves on towards CR2 or GA. It will also fail for jboss-4.2.2.SP1, etc

More generally, this naming scheme does not support multiple versions for the same AS minor version.

To fix this, we would need to factor the AS version into the naming scheme. Possibly like

jbossws-jboss-5.0.0.Beta4-3.0.2-SNAPSHOT
jbossws-jboss-5.0.0.CR1-3.0.2-SNAPSHOT

This scheme would obviously support a matrix of multiple container versions against multiple jbossws versions, which is required according to

http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Supported_Target_Containers

The above suggestion however fails, because maven does not support dependencies with multiple versions on the same artifact.
