Handlers and threads

[Guy Pardon <gu...@atomikos.com>]

Hi,

We want to extract a transaction context header from an incoming SOAP 
request (via a Handler in JAX-RPC) and associate the service thread 
with the incoming transaction.
According to the JAX-RPC spec, there is no guarantee that handlers are 
in the same thread as the service itself (which complicates this 
scheme).

Hence my question: are handlers called in the _same_ thread as the 
service?
If not, are there any better ways of doing this?

Many thanks,
Guy
