XmlRpcServlet v3.0 newbie question

[Mark Petrovic]

Good day.

A newbie question:

On an arbitrary handler specified in XmlRpcServlet.properties, I would like to call an "init"-like method presumed to exist as a member of that "Handler" class. 

A requirement is that this "init"-like method on the Handler class must be called from the XmlRpcServlet's overridden init() method.  Problem is, I cannot think of a way to obtain a reference to the Handler instance from within the servlet.  I know the Handler instance exists by the time the constructor of my implementation of the XmlRpcServlet exits.  But, hmm, how to acquire the Handler instance and call a method on it?

I can restructure my code to work around this problem, namely by making the servlet itself the handler, but I'd rather not do that just yet.

Any suggestions are most welcome.  I may be missing something quite obvious.

Thanks.
