Can a handler determine if a SOAP request should be abandoned?
Hi,
Is it possible to instruct Axis to abort processing on a SOAP request from within a handler? For instance, if a handler is used to authenticate a request, there should be some way to abort the whole thing and return to status quo if the authentication attempt fails. A handler comes with a "onFault" method, but I don't know if this will simply report an error to the Axis engine or make it stop the SOAP message processing altogether.
Thanks!

Hi Susantha,
Just been in this code to look at the fini stuff in the other thread and
seen this ->
/*
* The case clauses in this switch statement have no breaks.
* Hence, if Everything up to web service invocation was successful
* then all response handlers are invoked. If there was a failure
* at some point the response handlers from that point onwards
* are invoked.
*/
switch (level)
{
case AE_SERV: // everything success
Status = AXIS_SUCCESS;
// no break;
case AE_TRH: /* after invoking the transport handlers
* (at actual service invokation) it has failed
*/
if (m_pTResFChain)
{
m_pTResFChain->invoke (pMsg);
}
// no break;
case AE_GLH: // transport handlers have failed
// invoke global response handlers
if (m_pGResFChain)
{
m_pGResFChain->invoke (pMsg);
}
//no break;
case AE_SERH: // global handlers have failed
// invoke web service specific response handlers
if (m_pSResFChain)
{
m_pSResFChain->invoke (pMsg);
}
// no break;
case AE_START:; // service specific handlers have failed
};
Why do we continue? If there is an error then I would expect to stop the
request, call the onfault methods of the handlers that have already been
invoked and send back an exception to the user so they know what went
wrong in their stub?
thoughts?

Hello,
What does the caller of the service see - an exception?

Yes if the invoke method returns AXIS_FAIL Axis abandons the SOAP request.
But the onFault method of same handler’s and previously invoked handler’s
are called in reverse order.

Hi,
Is it possible to instruct Axis to abort processing on a SOAP request from
