Is there a way to create a anonymous wrote : global chain of handlers that fire for all web service requests? The idea we are struggling with is that we do not want to be forced to decorate all web services with the handler chain annotation. We feel that it leaves too much room for error as well as rework if we want to add an additional handler to all services.
