problem adding global request handler

["Timothy N. Jones" <ti...@jolai.com>]

I want to funnel all SOAP requests in my server to a single handler.  My
assumption is that the easiest way of accomplishing this is with a global
request handler.  I tried testing this using the LogHandler and the
following deployment file:

<deployment name="mydeployment" xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java/">
 
 <globalConfiguration>
   <requestFlow>
     <handler type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.LogHandler"/>
   </requestFlow>
 </globalConfiguration>
 
  <service name="myservice" provider="Handler">
 		<parameter name="handlerClass" value="my.domain.HandlerClass"/>
  </service>
</deployment>

I was successfully able to execute this deployment (verified by looking at 
server-config.wsdd).  However, all subsequent requests fail with a "Null
handler" exception.  Below is a fault dump showing the stack trace.  I'm
using the 2002-06-06 nightly build source.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Tim
