Re: Where can I register SOAP Handlers?

[Gianny Damour]

Hi,

You need to register your handlers in the webservices.xml DD.  The order 
of declaration is used to define the order of the handler chain. You may 
want to have a look to this xsd to know where and how the handlers 
should be defined in the DD: modules\j2ee-schema\src\j2ee_1_4schema.

For instance:
   <port-component>
      ...
     <service-impl-bean>...</service-impl-bean>
     <handler>
         <handler-name>Handler1</handler-name>
         <handler-class>full class name of first handler</handler-class>
     </handler>
     <handler>
         <handler-name>Handler2</handler-name>
         <handler-class>full class name of second handler</handler-class>
     </handler>
   </port-component>

Thanks,
Gianny

Hi,

I have two Web services, one exposed via the Web container, the other 
one via the EJB container. I would like to process their SOAP headers 
and also try some WS-Security stuff. To achieve this I have written my 
own message handler which extends the 
javax.xml.rpc.handler.GenericHandler. Now, I was wondering where (in 
which DD) I have to register these Handlers. Can I also register them 
as a Handler chain?

As for the WS-Security usage - I assume Geronimo has no implementation 
of WS-S by default? What would be the best method to integrate Apache 
WSS4J into Geronimo?

Thanks.
