To wrap this one up... Dan got me going on IRC.
It looks like I needed to add several CXF imports plus a <property
name="bus" ref="cxf" /> to the JaxWsProxyFactoryBean bean definition.
I'm not clear on why this only became necessary when I added the
handler to the proxy factory, but there you go.
Alternatively, if I switch the whole thing to use a <jaxws:client ...>
instead, it was not necessary to have the CXF imports or the explicit
bus assignment, even when I used the nested <jaxws:handler> elements.
So that seemed a little cleaner.
Thanks,
Aaron
