Not really an answer to your question, but have you thought of implementing
your policy enforcement as a seperate handler within the request flow?
This should get around the bug in MessageContext.getCurrentContext() and
would allow your service to concentrate on business logic, seperate from
policy enforcement.

Subject: RE: From Handler to Service
Hi Ian,
Thanks for the help. However, I have already tried the method
below...the problem is, (and I'm on Win2k) whenever I try to say:
MessageContext context= MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
on the service side, I keep getting this InvocationTargetException error.
(Once I remove the previous line of code, everything works). What I'm
trying
to do is retreive the name of the application so the service side logic can
apply policies to data access...
on the client side, we have something like
call.setUsername("My Application Name");
All what I'm trying to do on the _service_ side is (the authentication
handler works fine, by the way -- it can get Message Context without any
problems):
String appName= context.getUsername();
//do some processing with policy applied to appName application.
Is this a Windows 2k specific error? I'm on JBoss 3.2.1 with Tomcat and
Axis
1.1 Final.
Thanks!
Lee

You can store any arbitrary data in the MessageContext, via getProperty
()/setProperty(). You can then access this information from within your
service by calling MessageContext.getCurrentContext().
Example:
Handler.invoke(MessageContext context) {
context.setProperty("org", "research.ge.com");
}
Service.doSomething() {
MessageContext context = MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
String org = (String)context.getProperty("org");
}
HTH,

Subject: From Handler to Service
Hi all,
Is there any way to pass information (say, a String value) from a
handler to a service? The service is "registered" in the deploy.wsdd file.
Thanks.
