Just thought I would post this after a round of troubleshooting to get the latest Labs 3B running on JBoss 4.2.2.GA. I am not an expert on this, but just wanted to summarize for those who may be interested. The first two steps are typical. The last step was necessary to resolve a deployment issue with JBoss 4.2.2.GA.
1. When copying the exploded war from tomcat\webapps\ to jbossHome\server\default\deploy , make sure you name the alfresco folder to alfresco.war
2. Copy any custom extension definition files from tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco to jbossHome\server\default\conf\alfresco
3. Copy saar.jar, saar-api-1.3.jar and saar-impl-1.3.jar from tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\lib to jbossHome\lib\endorsed folder. This was the error that was so puzzling. I am guessing that the jboss-saar.jar has issues, so by endorsing the working tomcat jars, that seemed to bypass the faulting jboss-saar.jar culprits. I'm not sure this is the right way to fix JBoss' inability to create the message factory for SOAP, but it seems to have worked for now.
