How to get a MessageContext from a client

[Kapil Khanna <bo...@usa.net>]

I am consuming an external web service and am trying to get a handle to the 
MessageContext via MessageContext.getCurrentContext(). Unfortunately the
MessageContext  i 
get is always null.
The purpose of getting to the MessageContext is to get to the SOAPRequest and
SOAPResponse 
messages. There have been numerous posts regarding this but i have not seen
any concrete 
solution. I have heard about Handlers. My question is how do i configure a
Handler, cause i am 
running AXIS outside a web container, i.e from command line?
Per the users guide, handlers have been setup for a web service that is
running in the axis 
server.
Thanks.

You can setup client side handlers in client-config.wsdd.  Just place it 
on your clients classpath.
