Custom-made Handlers changes from request to response flow when thread priority is lowered 

           Summary: Custom-made Handlers changes from request to response
                    flow when thread priority is lowered
           Product: Axis
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Basic Architecture
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@ws.apache.org
        ReportedBy: espen.dietrichs@storebrand.no


I have configured axis, via the wsdd-file, to include a custom-made loghandler.
This loghandler is configured to be part of the request-stream. 

1. I coded the handler and run it within axis. So far, so good. No problem. 
2. Thereafter, I adjusted the handler facilitating that it would start as a 
separate thread. The thread was set to default priority. Still it functioned 
very well.
3. In a production environment I would normally like to start this logthread as 
a low-priority thread. Therefore I set the thread to low priority. But by doing 
this, adjusting the priority from default to low, the response was logged 
instead of the request!!!


WSDD-file:
<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java"
xmlns:ns1="DummyWebService">
  <service name="DummyWebService" provider="java:RPC">
    <requestFlow>
    	<handler name="LogH" type="java:eqd.start.webservice.LogH">
    	</handler>
    </requestFlow>
    <parameter name="className" value="eqd.start.webservice.DummyWebService" />
    <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="execute" />
    <beanMapping qname="ns1:DummyDO" xmlns:ns1="urn:DummyWebService" 
languageSpecificType="java:eqd.start.webservice.DummyDO"/> 		   
  </service>
</deployment>


Custom-made handler:
public class LogH extends BasicHandler {
	public void invoke(MessageContext messageContext) throws AxisFault {	
		try {
			if (messageContext != null) {
				LogThread logThread = new LogThread
(messageContext);
				Thread thread = new Thread(logThread);
				thread.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
				thread.start();
			}
		} 
		catch (Exception e) {
		 throw AxisFault.makeFault(e);
		}	
	}
}
