JAX-WS context listener initializing failed in JBOSS

I'm getting below error when trying to deploy a JAX-WS web service in JBOSS 4.0.3. I'm using JAX-WS RI runtime libraries. I'm not using JBOSS-WS the JBOSS specific JAX-WS.

In the web.xml I've put the listener for the class: com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener

The class javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory is abstract, and you need an Implementation of that class somewhere in your classpath. The exception java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.setFeature(Ljava/lang/String;Z) often indicates a version conflict in your dependencies, because the implementation you use was build against a different version of the interface.

To solve it you must use a matching implementation. TransformerFactory-implementations are contained withing XML parsers like Xalan or Xerces. You can tell Java to use a certain parser implementation by setting the appropriate system properties:

    Properties p = System.getProperties();
    p.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");
    p.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory", "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
    p.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory", "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
    System.setProperties(p);

Executing this during initialization of your application will set the default parser implementation to the internal Xalan parser of the JRE. To use other parsers, include their dependencies and put the Implementations classes' names in the setProperties methods.
