I have a simple web service which I have implemented username token authentication. Also I have my own Policy handler which I have configured using @handlerChain. I would like to invoke this handler between the JBossWS authenticates the usernametoken and actual execution of the method. package test; import javax.ejb.Stateless; import javax.jws.HandlerChain; import javax.jws.WebService; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding; import org.jboss.annotation.security.SecurityDomain; import org.jboss.ws.annotation.EndpointConfig; import com.sun.xacml.Indenter; import com.sun.xacml.ctx.ResponseCtx; @Stateless @WebService (name="TestWSEJB", targetNamespace = "http://test", serviceName = "TestWSEJBService") @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT) @EndpointConfig(configName = "Standard WSSecurity Endpoint") @SecurityDomain("JBossWS") @HandlerChain(file = "jaxws-handlers-server.xml") public class TestWSEJB { @WebMethod public String ping (String name) throws Exception { return "Hello : " + name; } } <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <handler-chains xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee javaee_web_services_1_2.xsd"> <handler-chain> <protocol-bindings>##SOAP11_HTTP</protocol-bindings> <handler-name> PolicyHandler </handler-name> <handler-class> test.WSXACMLPolicyHandler </handler-class> <soap-role>SecurityProvider</soap-role> </handler-chain> </handler-chains> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4138622#...
