Can you shed some light on how to pass the values through the messagecontext? from the client to the handler?

Thanks again Vinod.

I registered both SOAP and logical handlers, but the exception is already thrown before the handler is called for the response.

If it were possible to register a filter, that would probably work, however I can't find a way to access the HTTP level objects that the JAX webservice will use for the call, it appears they aren't exposed.

Appreciate your responses, thank you.

James,

Handlers can be attached on client side as well, see here.

Thanks Vinod.

I'm talking about the client side, and I'm calling the service from a J2SE client.

So it's the response from the server that i'm interesting in handling. Sometimes the remote server returns 500 with an HTML error page rather than SOAP. The resulting UnsupportedMediaException
(Unsupported Content-Type: text/html) doesn't have the page contents in it, which I'd like to be able to log so that we know what was returned instead of the SOAP response.

I didn't think it was possible to add filters in these situations, but hopefully I'm wrong.

James,

By the time handler is invoked SOAP body is already read by JAX-WS. Why don't you try filters for the task you mentioned?

Don't suppose you know whether higher-level handlers can be attached? e.g. view the raw HTTP message before the SOAP body is read by JAX-WS? I have a need to handle all messages, not just the ones that are valid.

Thanks for the tutorial! We try to incorporate a SAML Token that we receive from another party into the header by using a JAX-WS handler.

Bit of a problem is, that we have the SAML token not as object but as plain xml string. How can we insert this into the header of the SOAP message as easy as possible?

Regards,
Thomas

Though I never tried but JAX-RPC handlers may not work directly under JAX-WS as they use different APIs. IMO porting of handlers from JAX-RPC to JAX-WS should be pretty easier.

2008-11-13T15:15:00.000+05:30

Of course why not. One can do so using-
public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext context)
method. Returning false from there will stop further processing.
