Question about handlers

["Garzon Maldonado, Jesus Javier" <jg...@indra.es>]

Hello all,
 
Is there any way to pass data from handlers to service implementations?, (that is, XXXBindingImpl classes)
 
For example, a handler perform user authentication and service implementation needs that user to login a database.
 
Thanks.

Don't know if this is the best way, but I've done it through setting and
getting properties.

Handler
ctx.setProperty("USER", "SOME USER");

Implementation
String user = (String) ctx.getProperty("USER");

You can also setProperty in the implementation and have a post handler pick
it up with the getProperty.

You can pass information between handlers in the chain using the
MessageContext, but I don't see how you could pass information directly to
the service endpoint class. A workaround would be to install a custom
handler in the chain and have this handler set the credentials or other
information on a static class with a ThreadLocal that you could then read
from your endpoint.
