Automatically setup the client side handler chain ------------------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-986 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-986 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: XTS Reporter: Paul Robinson Assignee: Paul Robinson Priority: Minor Labels: assign Fix For: 5.0.0.M2 Original Estimate: 4 days Remaining Estimate: 4 days When invoking a WS-AT or WS-BA Web service, the client side handler has to be added to the client stub to manage transaction context propagation. The code required to do this is as follows: {code} BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) client; List<Handler> handlers = new ArrayList<Handler>(1); handlers.add(new JaxWSHeaderContextProcessor()); bindingProvider.getBinding().setHandlerChain(handlers); {code} This is not very user friendly. This could be done using a JAX-WS feature passed to the Client-side port. We also need to support client stubs created using @WebServiceRef. Here's some examples of its use: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossws/shared-testsuite/trunk/testsuite/s... http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossws/shared-testsuite/trunk/testsuite/s... http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossws/shared-testsuite/trunk/testsuite/s... The feature should be "enabled" by default providing the feature is enabled in the XTS server config. The quickstarts also need updated to use this.
