For my services I was able to add a request/response handler at the global level and then with my Service scoped as Application my service class and my handler class are only initialized 1 time so that all request threads flow through a single instance on the server.
I have not found how to accomplish the same for the client side handlers. marcus -----Original Message----- From: S.E.Parkin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 6:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Minimising SOAP Handler initialisations Hi, Could anyone suggest a means of removing the need to re-initialise Handlers every time they process a SOAP message? I've built a Handler which currently accesses the JNDI environment to retrieve information (which it is assumed will hardly change, if ever) and then uses this information to find (and then load) a set of class methods used in processing the SOAP request - it does this every time a message is processed, but is there a viable means of only having such complex and time-consuming Handler configuration occur once (or perhaps even on-demand when a particular resource is seen to have changed)? Thanks, Simon Parkin
