I think this has been discussed before on this list.. but I'm not sure or forget where we ended up.
In the case that you have a non-default binding on a component service defined with an inner composite which is in turn used as a component impl, what happens if the service is not re-defined overridden at the higher level? As an example, in the following case, does the service C1/svc1 have a WS binding or default binding (or both)? <composite name="Composite1" xmlns:ns="http://dummy";> <component name="C1"> <implementation.composite name="ns:Composite2"> </component> </composite> <composite name="Composite2" targetNamespace="http://dummy"; xmlns:ns=" http://dummy";> <component name="C2"> <implementation.java class="my.C2Impl"> <service name="innerService"> <binding.ws .../> </service> </component> <!-- innerService of component C2 is promoted as svc1 --> <service name="svc1" promote="C2/innerService"/> </composite> Thanks, Scott
