Christoph,

I've done some trial and error and found that the jws file don't seem to 
work under jboss-net. Oh, well, no big deal as they are not that useful in 
production I imagine anyways. As you say, a web-services.xml file and a 
class file bundled together work fine (once you get the target name sorted 
out). That is were being able to debug/discover things about the app is 
useful by getting the wsdl file on the fly. So yes the jars from axis-beta2 
do have a use. In production no, (well there is the whole security question 
for some that you might want kept quiet about).

Anyways, I've put up a simple hello world app using the barest of files to 
get things going for those who don't want to download the sourcecode. I'll 
change it over to the preferred template method using xdoclet, etc when I 
get a chance. This just uses the old ant type build system.
