Glen, The answer is YES, you can do it programmatically
Service side API Endpoint.getBinding().setHandlerChain(List<Handler>) Client side API BindingProvider.getBinding().setHandlerChain(List<Handler>) Besides, the Service API Service.setHandlerResolver() Hope it helps, James
Hello, The JAX-WS specification--as well as our jax-ws handler sample[1]--specify/show two ways to attach a JAX-WS handler to a CXF client or service: 1.) For the service, configuration via annotations and an XML file (e.g., under /commons in [1]). 2.) For the client, programmatically within the Java class making the web service call. Question: Does anyone know of additional ways one can attach a JAX-WS handler to the web service or client? For example, can I programmatically attach handlers to the web service implementation, or do XML configuration of handler chains on the *client* side? Thanks, Glen [1] http://tinyurl.com/2ps3y2
