Method Details

handleRequest

boolean handleRequest(MessageContext context)

The handleRequest method initiates the request processing for this handler chain.

Parameters:

context - MessageContext parameter provides access to the request SOAP message.

Returns:

boolean Returns true if all handlers in chain have been processed. Returns false if a handler in the chain returned false from its handleRequest method.

Throws:

JAXRPCException - if any processing error happens

• Handler.handleRequest(javax.xml.rpc.handler.MessageContext)

handleResponse

boolean handleResponse(MessageContext context)

The handleResponse method initiates the response processing for this handler chain.

Parameters:

context - MessageContext parameter provides access to the response SOAP message.

Returns:

boolean Returns true if all handlers in chain have been processed. Returns false if a handler in the chain returned false from its handleResponse method.

Throws:

JAXRPCException - if any processing error happens

See Also:

• Handler.handleResponse(javax.xml.rpc.handler.MessageContext)

handleFault

boolean handleFault(MessageContext context)

The handleFault method initiates the SOAP fault processing for this handler chain.

Parameters:

context - MessageContext parameter provides access to the SOAP message.

Returns:

boolean Returns true if all handlers in chain have been processed. Returns false if a handler in the chain returned false from its handleFault method.

Throws:

JAXRPCException - if any processing error happens

See Also:

• Handler.handleFault(javax.xml.rpc.handler.MessageContext)

init

void init(Map config)

Initializes the configuration for a HandlerChain.

Parameters:

config - Configuration for the initialization of this handler chain

Throws:

JAXRPCException - If any error during initialization

destroy

void destroy()

Indicates the end of lifecycle for a HandlerChain.

Throws:

JAXRPCException - If any error during destroy

setRoles

void setRoles(String[] soapActorNames)

Sets SOAP Actor roles for this HandlerChain. This specifies the set of roles in which this HandlerChain is to act for the SOAP message processing at this SOAP node. These roles assumed by a HandlerChain must be invariant during the processing of an individual SOAP message through the HandlerChain.

A HandlerChain always acts in the role of the special SOAP actor next. Refer to the SOAP specification for the URI name for this special SOAP actor. There is no need to set this special role using this method.

Parameters:

soapActorNames - URIs for SOAP actor name

• NamespaceConstants

getRoles

String[] getRoles()

Gets SOAP actor roles registered for this HandlerChain at this SOAP node. The returned array includes the special SOAP actor next.

Returns:

String[] SOAP Actor roles as URIs
