Thanks for the reply, but no luck. The resource when loaded using the context classloader points to:
jar:file:/C:/glassfish/lib/webservices-rt.jar!/META-INF/services/javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider Which is obviously wrong. Even starting Glassfish with the system property doesn't work. The code you provided does not compile as factory.create(Object) is not a method. The only create() method does not takes no parameters. Still looking into it.
