Minimising SOAP Handler initialisations

["S.E.Parkin" <S....@newcastle.ac.uk>]

Hi,

Could anyone suggest a means of removing the need to re-initialise Handlers 
every time they process a SOAP message? I've built a Handler which currently 
accesses the JNDI environment to retrieve information (which it is assumed 
will hardly change, if ever) and then uses this information to find (and then 
load) a set of class methods used in processing the SOAP request - it does 
this every time a message is processed, but is there a viable means of only 
having such complex and time-consuming Handler configuration occur once (or 
perhaps even on-demand when a particular resource is seen to have changed)?


Thanks,
