Create a Java™ API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS)
handler configuration for use, as part of a handler list, with Version 7.0
WS-Notification services.
Before you begin
You can create a new JAX-WS handler configuration by using the
administrative console as described in this topic, or by using the createJAXWSHandler command.
This task assumes that you have already created your handler. You can do this by using
IBM® Rational® Application Developer or a similar tool. You must also make the handler class available to the server or cluster that hosts the WS-Notification service points (for inbound invocation handling) or WS-Notification services (for outbound invocation handling) that you want to monitor, as detailed in Loading JAX-WS handler classes.
About this task
A Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS) handler is a Java class that performs a range of handling tasks. For example: logging messages, or transforming their contents, or terminating an incoming request. To make
WebSphere® Application Server aware of your handler, and to make the handler available for inclusion in one or more handler lists, you use the administrative console to create a new handler configuration.
Procedure
-
Start the administrative console.
-
Navigate to
.
The JAX-WS
handlers collection form is displayed.
-
Click New.
The JAX-WS
handlers settings form is displayed.
-
Type the following general properties:
- Name
- Type the name by which the handler is known.
This name must be unique at cell scope,
and it must obey the following syntax rules:
- It must not start with "." (a period).
- It must not start or end with a space.
- It must not contain any of the following characters: \
/ , # $ @ : ; " * ? < > | = + & % '
For
example TestHandler.
- Description
- Type the (optional) description of the handler.
- Class name
- Type the name of the class that is to be instantiated. This name must
be a fully qualified java class name. For example com.ibm.jaxws.handler.TestHandler.
Note:
You can configure multiple instances of a handler by creating each instance with a different handler name, and pointing to the same handler class.
-
Click OK.
The general properties
for this item are saved, and the additional properties options are made available.
-
Save your changes to the master configuration.
Results
If the processing completes successfully, the list of handlers is
updated to include the new handler. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.
