> Summary:
> Customers use a JAX-WS application handler to query or modify the incoming or outgoing message.   Here is  one common use cases: 
>    1) A handler is used to log the incoming or outgoing 
> message.
> Customers migrating an application from JAX-RPC will often use a JAX-WS SOAPHandler (jaxws.xml.ws.handler.soap.SOAPHandler) because it supports the same SAAJ data model as JAX-RPC.
> The SAAJ data model is the only SOAP-aware data model supported by the JAX-WS specification.  However there are some drawbacks to the SAAJ model:
>    A) Accessing the message as an SAAJ SOAPMessage causes the entire XML message to be rendered as an SAAJ SOAPElement graph.  This transformation increases the memory footprint and processing time.
>    B) After the handlers have completed, the message must be transformed back into the data rendering required for the target method.  For example, the SAAJ SOAPElement graph is 
> converted into a JAXB bean.  This transformation also increases the memory footprint and processing time.
> Solution:
> A new property will be added to the JAX-WS runtime which can be queried by a customer's hander to access the message as a String.
> The property is associated with the 
> javax.xml.ws.handler.MessageContext object.
>    Property Name: "jaxws.message.accessor"
>    Property Value: null or Object
> The customer can call the toString() method on the returned object to access the message as a String.
> Here is an example usage:
>  public myHandler implements SOAPHandler {
>  ... 
>   public boolean handleMessage(MessageContext mc) {
>     Object accessor = mc.getProperty(jaxws.message.accessor");
>     if (accessor != null) {
>       msgText = accessor.toString();
>       myLogger(msgText);
>     }
>     ..
>   }
>  }
