ARTCC radar controller approved a WX deviation for an air carrier B757 off of AR3 and cleared him direct ilm when able. The aircraft flew into W122J without approval of the milfac controling that warning area. ARTCC controller attempted a pointout to the milfac and it was disapproved. The radar controller vectored the aircraft out of the warning area.

Narrative:
The aircraft (B757) was deviating east of his course (east of AR3) to avoid WX. I approved the deviation and told him to proceed direct ilm when able, sure that the aircraft's course would keep him clear of active warning area airspace. It did not. The aircraft entered the southwest boundary of the warning area (W122J) with a late pointout to the using agency. I instructed the radar associate to point the aircraft out as I turned the aircraft away from the warning area airspace. The using agency responded with 'unable pointout.' an airspace violation was turned in. No other aircraft involved.

Title: ARTCC RADAR CTLR APPROVED A WX DEV FOR AN ACR B757 OFF OF AR3 AND CLRED HIM DIRECT ILM WHEN ABLE. THE ACFT FLEW INTO W122J WITHOUT APPROVAL OF THE MILFAC CTLING THAT WARNING AREA. ARTCC CTLR ATTEMPTED A POINTOUT TO THE MILFAC AND IT WAS DISAPPROVED. THE RADAR CTLR VECTORED THE ACFT OUT OF THE WARNING AREA.
Narrative: THE ACFT (B757) WAS DEVIATING E OF HIS COURSE (E OF AR3) TO AVOID WX. I APPROVED THE DEV AND TOLD HIM TO PROCEED DIRECT ILM WHEN ABLE, SURE THAT THE ACFT'S COURSE WOULD KEEP HIM CLR OF ACTIVE WARNING AREA AIRSPACE. IT DID NOT. THE ACFT ENTERED THE SW BOUNDARY OF THE WARNING AREA (W122J) WITH A LATE POINTOUT TO THE USING AGENCY. I INSTRUCTED THE RADAR ASSOCIATE TO POINT THE ACFT OUT AS I TURNED THE ACFT AWAY FROM THE WARNING AREA AIRSPACE. THE USING AGENCY RESPONDED WITH 'UNABLE POINTOUT.' AN AIRSPACE VIOLATION WAS TURNED IN. NO OTHER ACFT INVOLVED.
