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.
Before you begin
You can create a new JAX-WS handler list by using the administrative console as described in this topic, or by using the createJAXWSHandlerList command.
You can only add previously-configured handlers to a handler list. To configure a handler, see Creating a new JAX-WS handler configuration.
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 enable handlers to undertake more complex operations, you chain them together into handler lists. The approach taken in WebSphere® Application Server is to assign handler lists (rather than individual handlers) to WS-Notification service points (for inbound invocation handling) or WS-Notification services (for outbound invocation handling).

What to do next
To apply this handler list to inbound notification requests received at a Version 7.0 WS-Notification point, associate it with the service point as described in Creating a new Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point or Modifying a Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point. To apply this handler list to outbound notification requests sent by your Version 7.0 WS-Notification service, associate the handler list with the service as described in Creating a new Version 7.0 WS-Notification service or Modifying a Version 7.0 WS-Notification service.
For an overview of the end-to-end task of creating JAX-WS handlers, chaining them together in a handler list, then applying the handler list to a Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point or service, see Applying a JAX-WS handler list to a WS-Notification service.
