Deployment Descriptor in JBoss web service.

[nagenss]

I am bit new to JBoss what previuosly worked on Axis and weblogic webservice. I have some queries:

1.) As we have deployment descriptor for axis (i.e. WSDD file) and weblogic (service.xml file) do we have same in JBoss also.

2.) In Weblogic we have been using "AutoType" ant task which generates "Data type mapping and Java/Serialization class" for non-built-in data types that used as parameters. Do we same available in JBoss.

It depends which stack (jbossws-cxf/jbossws-native) will you use. Basically JBoss just needs web.xml to provide the endpoint impl to deploy a service. If you want to configure security or other resource reference, you may need the jboss-web.xml.  We also support  jbossws-cxf.xml descriptor in jbossws-cxf stack to enable more cxf specific features.

No. That's the Weblogic specific thing. JBossWS marshall/unmarshall data with standard JAXB implementation. If your application start with a pojo class, the JAXBIntroduction or CXF's Aegis databinding can help.
