I've a problem to use abstract class in a Web Service like WebMethod output parameter.
I'm using JBOSS-5.1.0.GA and java runtime Version 6. It always return emtpry tag for abstract tag.

I have completed below step as well
When running under Java 6 you need to manually copy the following libraries from the JBOSS_HOME/client directory to the JBOSS_HOME/lib/endorsed directory, so that the JAX-WS 2.0 apis supported by JBossWS are used:

jbossws-native-saaj.jar
jbossws-native-jaxrpc.jar
jbossws-native-jaxws.jar
jbossws-native-jaxws-ext.jar

for below section of WSDL:

<xsd:complexType name="Personne" abstract="true" />
<xsd:complexType name="PersonnePhysique">
<xsd:complexContent>
<xsd:extension base="Personne">

Getting below error stack:

javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: Unable to create an instance of com.sfr.sigc.rechercherpersonneetroles.Personne
