[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-4643) SOAP Handlers only executing on prestage when using JAX-WS standards

SOAP Handlers only executing on prestage when using JAX-WS standards -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-4643 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-4643 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Web Services Environment: Wildfly 8.2.0.Final on RHEL 6.5 Reporter: Derrick Sutherland Assignee: Alessio Soldano When a handler is attached the client of a JAX-WS service, only the outbound request is intercepted. The inbound reponse isn't. Furthermore, the reverse applies to any JAX-WS service handle when using the @HandlerChain annotation. An example of a client-side handlers usage is depicted below: {code:title=TestServlet.java|borderStyle=solid} List<Handler> handlers=new ArrayList<Handler>(); handlers.add(new DemoHandler()); Service service = Service.create(new URL(http://example.com/demoWs?wsdl"), new QName(DemoWsInterface.TARGET_NAMESPACE, "DemoWs")); demoWs=service.getPort(DemoWsInterface.class); ((BindingProvider) demoyWs).getBinding().setHandlerChain(handlers); {code} And the handleMessage function in my handler is as such: {code:title=DemoHandler.java|borderStyle=solid} public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext msgContext) { Boolean outbound = (Boolean) msgContext.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY); if(outbound) System.out.print("Outbound soap request"); else System.out.print("Inbound soap response"); return true; } {code} Everytime the client is used, the message "Outbound soap request" is displayed. However, the inbound message is never displayed when the response comes back. This should not be the case as the J2EE specification states a handler should receive the inbound and outbound soap messages on both the client and service.
