That didn't work... I assume a filter is the same as a custom handler. Wrong?? At least that's the conclusion I've made after using Google ;-)
I defined a handler for my service, that throws a custom exception, just to see if I came that far when sending my empty request. Unfourtunatly, I get an "SAXParserException: Premature end of file" at an earlier stage then that, so I my request never enters my handler.
