my understanding is that with "HttpHandlers" Tomaz here is referring to a lower level abstraction then the JAXWS handlers. The Undertow handlers would basically replace the valve stuff in tomcat / jbossweb. My understanding (but I might be missing something) is that the goal here is to provide users with a mechanism for setting this low level http server thing for a ws application regardless of it being based on a POJO or on a EJB3 bean.

HttpHandlers configuration for EJB3 Webservice Endpoints -------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-703 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-703 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web Services Reporter: Sebastian Maurer Assignee: R Searls Fix For: Awaiting Volunteers Please add a way to configure handlers for EJB3 endpoints packaged in an ejb-jar. At the moment there is no option in any of the ejb deployment descriptors and of course it isn't possible to configure valves globally. The only way to configure handlers is by handlers.conf of ServletExcention at the moment, but this is currently limited to web deployments only.
