Thanks for the help, this was very useful Now I have a different question related to this. When trying to get an element from the message context, is there an easy way to do that? or do I have to parse the message manually? Thanks

Deepal Deepal jayasinghe, Can I know what is the benefit you will get if we will go through the modules. I saw the steps, it tells to follow the bellow steps MyService with a Logging Module Step1 : LoggingModule Class Step2 : LogHandler Step3 : module.xml Step4: Modify the "axis2.xml" Step5 : Modify the "services.xml Step6 : Packaging Step7 : Deploy the Module in Axis2 Actually I don't have the knowledge of the module, for that reason I am asking this. From my understanding, If you want to log only soap message what is going out and coming in, use a simple handler which is the subclass of AbstractHandler get the soap message from the messageContext. And configure the same class in axis2.xml and deploy. If you can clarify me what is the disadvantage here, for that reason we will go through the module, I will be great thankful to you.

You can add handlers either using modules or by editing axis2.xml, however we do not recommend changes to axis2.xml. That is why we introduced the concepts of modules, where user can deploy customs handlers without changing any global configurations. Deepal This is confusing now so, I will test the previous method tomorrow just for testing, but I will give the modules a more detailed look for the final deployment Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 11:24:27 -0400 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Deploying a handler NOPE, you do not need to modify axis2.xml. Deepal yes it will work and you need to modify the axis2.xml as well On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 6:36 PM, Deepal jayasinghe <[email protected]> wrote: The way you deploy handlers in Axis2 is using the concept call Module. Please follow following tutorial to get a good understanding how to do that. http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/modules.html http://www.packtpub.com/article/apache-axis2-web-services-writing-module Deepal Hello, I wrote my own simple handler which I want to deploy. This handler is the first to work on inflowing SOAP messages and as such I modified the configuration to have it in the inflow section. My question is, how do I build and deploy this handler? Thanks
