Stub properties are not propagated through service-ref; for instance even specifying user/pwd for basic auth with the following in jboss-web.xml

<jboss-web>
<security-domain>java:/jaas/JBossWS</security-domain>
<service-ref>
<service-ref-name>service/jbws2307service</service-ref-name>
<port-component-ref>
<service-endpoint-interface>org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.jbws2307.Hello</service-endpoint-interface>
<port-qname>

HelloPort</port-qname>
<stub-property>
<prop-name>javax.xml.ws.security.auth.password</prop-name>
<prop-value>thefrog</prop-value>
</stub-property>
<stub-property>
<prop-name>javax.xml.ws.security.auth.username</prop-name>
<prop-value>kermit</prop-value>
</stub-property>
</port-component-ref>
</service-ref>
</jboss-web>

we get the following exception:
