I think I got distracted by the WS_ENDPOINT_HANDLERS_MAPPING_KEY and went off in the wrong direction. Anyway, this is what I have now: 1. A DeploymentActivator with a Phase priority that comes imediatly after PARSE_JAXWS_HANDLER_CHAIN_ANNOTATION. 2. A DeploymentUnitProcessor that...1. Obtains the desired annotation from the Web service impl 2. Creates a new instance of WebservicesMetaData 3. Adds the handler to the portComponent of the WebservicesMetaData 4. Attaches the WebservicesMetaData to the DeploymentUnit with key WEBSERVICES_METADATA_KEY I have these issues now: 1. How much other information do I need to provide in the WebservicesMetaData? There seems to be a lot of information in there that may or may not be relevant to the service being deployed. It also feels like I would be re-inventing the wheel if I was to try to obtain all the relevant data about the service. 2. Will constructing the WebservicesMetaData be very brittle? Is it likely to break every time the format of this changes? Does this data-structure change on a regular basis? We can still chat on IRC, if you think that would be easiest, or we could continue with this forum discussion. Either is fine by me. Thanks again with all your help on this, It's much appreciated. Paul. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/714227#714227] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

I think I now have everything I need to go and impliment my feature. Many thanks for all your help!! Now that I understand how to do it, I can see that your initial instructions gave me everything I needed. I hope I didn't waste too much of your time as I was ditracted by my incorrect aproaches. Thanks again, Paul. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/714244#714244] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/714478#714478 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Paul, sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with the 4.0.1 release. I'm glad you've a pretty much working prototype now :-) Just few comments: * in 4) you should check if there's a WebServicesMetaData attachment; if that's the case, you need to update the existing one, otherwsise the data in it would be lost * regarding your logic for updating the WS_ENDPOINT_HANDLERS_MAPPING_KEY instead, I believe you should have that run after Phase.PARSE_JAXWS_HANDLER_CHAIN_ANNOTATION but before Phase.PARSE_JAXWS_HANDLER_CREATE_COMPONENT_DESCRIPTIONS, as there's a DUP registered at that phase which should be reading the data. You might need to shift Phase.PARSE_JAXWS_ENDPOINT_CREATE_COMPONENT_DESCRIPTIONS and Phase.PARSE_JAXWS_HANDLER_CREATE_COMPONENT_DESCRIPTIONS values down a bit, just be sure to keep the rest of the ordering. * to answer your question on the actual need for populating WS_ENDPOINT_HANDLERS_MAPPING_KEY attachment, yeah, that's required for having the AS7 components properly created for your handlers too. * on the contents of WebServicesMetaData and the possible changes on that, consider that it basically maps the JSR109 stuff, so the minimal data you're providing should be fine and the classes are not likely to change frequently, I believe they're pretty much still the same since they were written years ago.

To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/714613#714613 -------------------------------------------------------------- It's actually a JSR 109 concept; the webservices.xml is mandatory for JAX-RPC and optional for JAX-WS. Perfect, this is what I meant. I'm referring to the AS7 org.jboss.as.ee.component.ComponentDescription . The org.jboss.as.webservices.deployers.WSIntegrationProcessorJAXWS_HANDLER that's registered at Phase.PARSE_JAXWS_HANDLER_CREATE_COMPONENT_DESCRIPTIONS uses the WSEndpointHandlersMapping data for propagating the naming context in the component descriptors. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/714613#714613] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
