Handler Scope (Axis Userguide Example 4)

[Lawrence Ang <la...@pobox.org.sg>]

Hi,

I have managed to get example 4 in the userguide running. The handler is 
writing to the logfile as expected. AND the number of accesses is increasing 
with each call.

And thats where the problem is. 

I read from somewhere in the architecture guide that the default scope if not 
specified is "request". Does this mean that the handler would be created at 
each request? Or does this statement only apply to the class providing the 
service?

If the default scope if "request", then the number of accesses should not be 
incrementing. I would expect the counts to remain at 1 with each call. It then 
follows that the handler is created with some kind of "application" scope (?).

Anyone has any insights on this?
