Paul Robinson [http://community.jboss.org/people/paul.robinson] created the discussion "Can I modify the HandlerChain at deploy time?" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/641087#641087 -------------------------------------------------------------- I am improving the usability of JBoss XTS by providing annotation support. I have one class level annotation that when applied to a JAX-WS service implementation, indicates to the middleware to carry out a few pieces of work, removing a lot of burden from the developer. One of these "pieces of work" is to add two handlers to the JAX-WS handler chain. Using CDI I can intercept the calls to the service, but this occurs after the handler chain has been invoked. I was thinking that at some point in the deployment process, I could query the Service Impl class for the required annotation, and if found, setup the appropriate handler chain. I was wondering: a) Is what I am proposing the right way to do this? b) If so, can you point me at the right place to hook into? c) Do you know of a better way for me to achieve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Paul. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/641087#641087] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
