In the patch I submitted, I don't think there's a way to expose a service as
both a wsdl-based endpoint and a restful endpoint.  I've been using the
wsdl-based endpoints for DOSGi communication (hence, my initial focus on
JAX-WS and the JAXB databinding), and registering jax-rs resources
separately.  I suppose I could register the same service instance twice,
each with different service properties.  Do you think that is the best
solution for exposing multiple endpoints per service?

Thanks,
Josh
