Jaxws handler init method is not called

["Yang, Gang CTR (US)" <ga...@mail.mil>]

Hi,



I'm using CXF 2.6.6 JAX-WS front. I have a simple JAX-WS service and a JAX-WS handler, which is hooked with the service via the @HandlerChain. The classes is packaged into a war with cxf-servlet.xml defining the JAX-WS service endpoint w/o defining the handler. When the war is deployed into Tomcat 7.0.19, the handler default constructor is called, but not the init() method, which was annotated with @PostConstruct. Appreciate any help.



Thanks,

Gang

Can you breakpoint in the constructor and provide a stack trace?   The PostConstruct should be called providing it’s CXF creating the handler and not spring or similar.  Would like to see which code path is calling into the constructor.
