The message here http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=161098 correctly points out there's a difference between the doc and what is actually deployed on AS 5. Perhaps the doc was referring to the deployment on AS 4.2 and needs to be updated. Anyway I don't see the cxf-extension-jbossws.xml anywhere... the test covering this has to be revisited.
