I'm not quite sure that there is a need to change the chain dynamically at all. Why not considering a tree instead of a simple list ? Depending on some conditions (HTTP VERB, operation QName, ...), a branch of the tree would be used. I guess this may need a bit of design, but would allow a clean separation of interceptors between, while allowing a static interceptor chain. As I said in a previous mail, I don't really see how policies can be applied on a per operation level without allowing different interceptor chain (or all interceptors would have to check if they should be applied, which is the current case with the GET problem). Would it be too complex ? Or there is no real use case for that ?

So there's pros and cons. Can you please justify the performance benefit of this if we go down this route? As noted in the previous email if we have a dynamic interceptor removal, than we still have problems if a user adds an interceptor and they aren't aware they need to look for the isGET case. I think we should synthesize a document, and unless you can provide some compelling performance reason I don't see any reason not too. You haven't shown anything to back up your reasoning that there is a performance issue. - Dan -- Dan Diephouse Envoi Solutions http://envoisolutions.com | http://netzooid.com/blog
