Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem which I has caused me
sleepless nights over the weekend!!!
I have a client program accessing a Web service with a handler being invoked
on the service- and client-side in between. Infact, my handler is based on
the SimpleSessionHandler from the Axis distribution so is fairly simple at
the moment. I can see from my logs that the handler is being invoked on the
service-side but there seems to be no invokation whatsoever on the
client-side.
I am not exactly sure what the problem is but as there is little
documentation on using client-side handlers I am hoping one of you kind
people can point out where my code may be wrong... Below is the client code
that sets up the engine, service and call, and also the client-config.wsdd
that is used:
// Set up client Axis engine configuration
EngineConfiguration clientConfig = new FileProvider(clientConfigFile);
// Create a new service instance
service = new Service(clientConfig);
service.setEngine(new AxisClient(clientConfig));
call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new URL(endpointURL));

Everything seems to run ok without any exceptions being thrown and my
service responds correctly - the problem is just that the handler is never
invoked on the client-side.
Thanks in advance for any help.
