Hi!
Could you find answers to these questions in the meantime? I would be very interested in them.
Thanks, Thilo
Hi All,
I have couple of questions on Axis handlers. Any help in answering this = questions (answers, hints, pointers are all welcome) is greatly = appreciated.
1. I want to configure request and response handlers at the application = scope. When I do this, my understanding is that only one instance of = these handlers get created and get used for all web service requests. Is = this true when I configure handlers at each web service level and also = as part of global chain?
2. Also, when I use Application scope request and response handlers, = will one instance of these handler get created for each web service or = only one gets created for the whole Apache Axis engine?
3. My request handler need some initialization so that it does not take = long time on the first request to initialize. I think I read in one of = the newsgroup emails that if the Axis service is set to load on startup, = it calls the init method of the handlers on the startup of the app = server itself. It looks like that is now Axis 1.0 worked. Does Axis 1.1 = fix this?
4. How about the destroy method. Handler's destroy is not getting on = called when App Server is shutdown/unloaded. Like the initialization, I = have some unload() work which need to be done on the shutdown. In Axis = 1.0, It looks like the destroy method is not getting called on the = shutdown. Does Axis 1.1 fix this?
Thanks in advance, Ramesh.
