Handler threads

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

Hi,

Do JAXWS handler threads run in the same thread as the endpoint below  
them? This is not required by the spec, but necessary for mapping WS- 
AT to JTA.

Thanks,
Guy

In the "normal" case, yes.   The entire interceptor chain which includes 
the handlers and the final invokation to the endpoint run on a single 
thread.

However, an interceptor could "pause" the chain and have it resume on a 
different thread.   That would be a highly specialized case though 
rooted more in theory.  I'm not 100% sure it even works right now, 
especially for HTTP, maybe for JMS.
