public abstract class GenericHandler

extends java.lang.Object

implements Handler (src)

The GenericHandler class implements the Handler interface. SOAP Message Handler developers should typically subclass GenericHandler class unless the Handler class needs another class as a superclass. The GenericHandler class is a convenience abstract class that makes writing Handlers easy. This class provides default implementations of the lifecycle methods init and destroy and also different handle methods. A Handler developer should only override methods that it needs to specialize as part of the derived Handler implementation class.

GenericHandler

protected GenericHandler()

Default constructor.

getHeaders

public abstract QName (src) [] getHeaders()

Gets the header blocks processed by this Handler instance.

Specified by:

getHeaders in interface Handler (src)

Returns:

Array of QNames of header blocks processed by this handler instance. QName is the qualified name of the outermost element of the Header block.

init

public void init(HandlerInfo (src)  config)

The init method to enable the Handler instance to initialize itself. This method should be overridden if the derived Handler class needs to specialize implementation of this method.

Specified by:

init in interface Handler (src)

Parameters:

config - handler configuration

destroy

public void destroy()

The destroy method indicates the end of lifecycle for a Handler instance. This method should be overridden if the derived Handler class needs to specialize implementation of this method.

Specified by:

destroy in interface Handler (src)

handleRequest

public boolean handleRequest(MessageContext (src)  msgContext)

The handleRequest method processes the request SOAP message. The default implementation of this method returns true. This indicates that the handler chain should continue processing of the request SOAP message. This method should be overridden if the derived Handler class needs to specialize implementation of this method.

Specified by:

handleRequest in interface Handler (src)

Parameters:

msgContext - the message msgContext

Returns:

true/false

handleResponse

public boolean handleResponse(MessageContext (src)  msgContext)

The handleResponse method processes the response message. The default implementation of this method returns true. This indicates that the handler chain should continue processing of the response SOAP message. This method should be overridden if the derived Handler class needs to specialize implementation of this method.

Specified by:

handleResponse in interface Handler (src)

Parameters:

msgContext - the message msgContext

Returns:

true/false

handleFault

public boolean handleFault(MessageContext (src)  msgContext)

The handleFault method processes the SOAP faults based on the SOAP message processing model. The default implementation of this method returns true. This indicates that the handler chain should continue processing of the SOAP fault. This method should be overridden if the derived Handler class needs to specialize implementation of this method.

Specified by:

handleFault in interface Handler (src)

Parameters:

msgContext - the message msgContext

Returns:

the message msgContext
