Configuring JAX-WS handlers

A 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. You can create JAX-WS handlers, chain them together in the form of a handler list, then apply the handler list to a JAX-WS based Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point (for inbound invocation handling) or WS-Notification service (for outbound invocation handling).

About this task

The Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS) provides you with a standard way of developing interoperable and portable web services. To create a JAX-WS handler, you can use a tool such as IBM® Rational® Application Developer. To enable handlers to undertake more complex operations, you chain them together into handler lists. You associate each handler list with one or more JAX-WS based Version 7.0 WS-Notification services or service points, so that the handler list can monitor WS-Notification activity and take appropriate action depending upon the sender and content of each inbound or outbound message.

Detailed instructions on how to configure JAX-WS handlers and handler lists for use with JAX-WS based Version 7.0 WS-Notification services are provided in the following topics:

Procedure

  • Loading JAX-WS handler classes

    A JAX-WS handler interacts with messages through a JAX-WS based Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point (for inbound invocation handling) or WS-Notification service (for outbound invocation handling), therefore you must make the handler class available to the server or cluster that hosts the WS-Notification service point or service that you want to monitor.

  • Creating a new JAX-WS handler configuration

    Create a Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS) handler configuration for use, as part of a handler list, with JAX-WS based Version 7.0 WS-Notification services.

  • Creating a new JAX-WS handler list

    Create a Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS) handler list for use with JAX-WS based Version 7.0 WS-Notification services.
