How to pass information between handlers and services.
I am trying to implement an application that does the following.
Assume we have a client :
startSomething(XMLFLAG)
call.invoke(EndpointReference_1)
call.invoke(EndpointReference_2)
call.invoke(EndpointReference_3)
An Handler has to intercept the different calls and put the XMLFLAG in
the SOAPHeader of all the calls.
On the Provider side an Handler has to intercept the call, get the
XMLFLAG from the SOAPHeader and pass it to the provider service.
In simple words there is a way to directly pass information between
Client-Services and Client-Handlers and between Provider-Handlers and
Provider-Services
???
Thanks in advance.

The idea is that to pass information to an handler from the client-Application
in such way that all subsequent service invocations will be intercepted,
then Information will be added into the SOAPHeader
and deliverd to different provider-services
It should like really like the following:
{
// one time passing the info to an Handler in the General chain
PassInformationToHandler( Info );
Service serice_1=new Service();
Service serice_2=new Service();
Service serice_3=new Service();
// Calls
Call call_1 = (Call) service_1.createCall();
Call call_2 = (Call) service_1.createCall();
...........
call_1.invoke(...)
call_2.invoke(...)
call_3.invoke(...)
}
////////////////////////// i don't want to do something like the following :
{
...........
// Calls
Call call_1 = (Call) service_1.createCall();
Call call_2 = (Call) service_1.createCall();
...........
MessageContext messageContext_1 = call_1.getMessageContext() ;
MessageContext messageContext_2 = call_2.getMessageContext() ;
MessageContext messageContext_3 = call_3.getMessageContext() ;
messageContext_1.setProperty("MyInfo", Info );
messageContext_2.setProperty("MyInfo", Info );
messageContext_3.setProperty("MyInfo", Info );
call_1.invoke(...)
call_2.invoke(...)
call_3.invoke(...)
}
I was thinking at two ways to solve this problem
1) Making use of the singleton pattern.
Exchanging information saving it into a singleton object, and sharing it.
2) Dynamically attaching an Handler to all the Services,
passing the information each time the handler is attached (configured).
But this dynamic configuration works per service but i did'nt manage
to attach an Handler to all the services.
Any other idea ?
Thanks for the previous responses :)

You can pass information in the MessageContext itself using
the MessageContext.setProperty(String, Object) in the handler and then
using
the MessageContext.getProperty(String) in the Service or Client.
// Example Handler Code
public void invoke(MessageContext msgContext) throws AxisFault
{
System.out.println("Inside Handler");
msgContext.setProperty("SomeReference", "Some Text if String");
// Could be any object not just string
}
// Example Service Code
MessageContext ctx = MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
String SomeReference = (String) ctx.getProperty("SomeReference");
System.out.println("SomeReference = " + SomeReference); // You
should get 'Some Text if String'
I've only tested this server side, but it should work client side as well.
Hope this helps,

Please respond to Re: How to pass information between

as far as I know there is no way for a handler to talk to a WS
directly. but you can get the message inside your WS implementation:
in your WS you can get the soap message using
org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext() which gives you an
object of type MessageContext. that you can use just like in your
handlers, so just retrieve any info fram the message you want.
hope I could be of help.

as far as I know there is no way for a handler to talk to a WS
directly. but you can get the message inside your WS implementation:
in your WS you can get the soap message using
org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext() which gives you an
object of type MessageContext. that you can use just like in your
handlers, so just retrieve any info fram the message you want.
hope I could be of help.
