A JAX-WS handler provides customization of web service request or response handling.

To view this page in the console, click the following path:

A 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.

Configuration tab

The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.

Class name

The class name of the JAX-WS Handler

Before you can create a handler configuration, you must make the handler class available to the application server in one of the following ways:
  • Copy the individual class file into a directory structure under app_server_root/classes that matches the package name of the class, where app_server_root is the root directory for the installation of WebSphere® Application Server. For example a handler class com.ibm.jaxws.handler.TestHandler is copied into the app_server_root/classes/com/ibm/jaxws/handler directory.
  • Package the class files for all your handlers as a JAR file, then copy it into the app_server_root/lib/app directory.
