Hi,
  
  Looks like there has no opponent for jervis' proposal,  I will create a jira task for this proposal and sign it me.

Sorry, after rethinking about this, I've changed my mind slightly, so here is the idea:

CXF Interceptor API will be similiar to JAX-WS API, section 9.3.2.1.

Throw ProtocolException or a subclass This indicates that normal message processing should cease. 
Subsequent actions depend on whether the MEP in use requires a response to the message currently 
being processed or not:

Response: Normal message processing stops, fault message processing starts. The message direction
is reversed, if the message is not already a fault message then it is replaced with a fault message4, 
and the runtime invokes handleFault on the next handler or dispatches the message (see 
section 9.1.2.2) if there are no further handlers.

No response: Normal message processing stops, close is called on each previously invoked handler 
in the chain, the exception is dispatched (see section 9.1.2.3).


Throw any other runtime exception This indicates that normal message processing should cease. Subse-
quent actions depend on whether the MEP in use includes a response to the message currently being 
processed or not: 

Response: Normal message processing stops, close is called on each previously invoked handler in 
the chain, the message direction is reversed, and the exception is dispatched (see section 9.1.2.3). 


No response: Normal message processing stops, close is called on each previously invoked handler 
in the chain, the exception is dispatched (see section 9.1.2.3).

However,  the difference is CXF interceptors are not designed to hook in user  logic as these JAX-WS handlers do, thus handleFault is not needed in  CXF interceptors (correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is the  purpose that JAX-WS handlers's handleFault method designed for. I.e,  when a known exception - ProtocolException occurs, handleFault() gives  handler developer a hook to clean up sth, for example, roll back a  transaction, this is different from what close() is supposed to do. The  latter is designed to clean things up under a succeeded situation). For  any Runtime exceptions thrown by interceptors, we just wrap it as soap  exception then dispatch it back calling handleMessage.

So here is the change we need to make:

1. Add a postHandleMessage() into Interceptor interface

2.  Remove handleFault() method from Interceptor interface. Or we can still  keep it for a while until we are absolutely sure we wont need this  method, but I presume there is nothing we need to do in this method.

3.  We will NOT add a close() method into Interceptor interface, as CXF  interceptors are stateless, there is no resources need to be closed. 

public interface Interceptor {
      void handleMessage(T message) throws Fault;
      void postHandleMessage(T message);
}

When  an interceptor chain ends normally, we need to call postHandleMessage()  on each previously traversed interceptor in a reversed direction.

When  a fault occurs on the in-bound chain, an exception will be thrown from  the interceptor, after catching the exception in PhaseInterceptorChain,  we unwind the current chain by calling postHandleMessage() on each  previously traversed interceptor and then jump to the out-fault-chain,  calling handleMessage() on each interceptor with the fault message.

Any thoughs?

LogicalHandlerInterceptor already has a onCompletion() method to do some cleanup work. Maybe we can use it as the cleanup method name.

Re: Proposal for chaning CXF Interceptor APIs. WAS: RE: When should we close the handlers in CXF?

Posted by Polar Humenn <ph...@iona.com>.
I'm still trying to find out how this interceptor stuff works. So 
forgive me if I seem naive. :-[

You say CXF interceptors are stateless. Are you saying that 
"statelessness" is a requirement to be a CXF interceptor? Or are you 
saying that the processing interceptors that are currently used in CXF 
are stateless and that's all that need to be supported?

I can definitely see a use case for CXF interceptors maintaining state.

A simple one is an outbound message counter. The interceptor increments 
a counter on handleMessage() assuming the message makes out the end (has 
no way of knowing). So the interceptor must decrement its counter on 
handleFault() because that tells the interceptor that the message never 
made it out the end because of some interceptor downstream in the chain.

So, if I have this right, what you are proposing is to alter the 
semantics, and only call this onFinish() method on the unwind chain when 
the message makes finally makes it out the end of the chain.

This changes the semantics quite a bit. With the handleFault approach 
one can assume that the message will be successful in negotiating the 
chain *unless* it is told otherwise, (handleFault), which leads to 
optimistic processing. The latter onFinish() approach requires me to 
*wait* to see *if* the message was successful, which is a pessimistic, 
possibly more expensive approach.

It seems to me, that "fault" processing is the exceptional case, and one 
should be able to assume optimistic processing, unless told otherwise.

Thoughts?

The other thing I don't get, is what constitutes an Inbound Fault 
Message as opposed to an Inbound Message? Why does this make a 
difference in Interceptors of inbound and outbound messages?

Cheers,
-Polar
