I just did this, and I must say the documentation was not a great help. I'll try to
summerize what I did. If anybody has tips on a better way to do it, please add your
advice.
My service is a standard Java class, but all methods have an extra argument at the
end. This argument is a SecurityContext, and is not provided by the user of the
service. It is provided by a custom provider.
The custom provider is a class implementing the Handler interface.
In my case I subclass the RPCProvider class, and override the invokeMethod() method,
and add my extra argument before calling super.invokeMethod().
To deploy the service with a custom provider set your provider attribute in the
service tag to "Handler", and add a parameter tag with the name of the custom provider
class. The first parameter tag below indicates which provider to use. The second
indicates the backend service class to use, as with the standard RPCProvider.
Example:
<service name="MyService" provider="Handler">
<parameter name="handlerClass"
value="mypackage.MyProvider" />
<parameter name="className"
value="mypackage.MyServiceImpl" />
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*" />
</service>
I would have expected to be able to put the class name directly in the provider
attribute of the service tag, and also be able to refer to a previously defined
handler like this:
<handler name="MyHandler"
type="mypackage.MyProvider" />
<service name="MyService" provider="java:mypackage.MyProvider">
<parameter name="className"
value="mypackage.MyServiceImpl" />
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*" />
</service>
<service name="MyService" provider="MyHandler">
<parameter name="className"
value="mypackage.MyServiceImpl" />
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*" />
</service>
If someone can tell me how this can be done, I'd be very happy :)
