Much like EJB interceptors, JAX-WS handlers (both SOAP and Logical) provide an elegant extension point to the developer. But that flexibility does come at a performance price since DOM is used to apply this handler logic. |
In his latest entry, Rama explains how Metro takes advantage of the extensible Handler framework provided by the JAX-WS specification to provide Message-based handlers using a lightweight Tube.
This is all part of the upcoming Metro 1.1 release recently mentioned.
Stephen DiMilla has a fairly comprehensive TechTip covering Logical and SOAP Handlers in JAX-WS 2.0. The TechTip shows how to configure inbound and outbound Handlers on the server and client and therefore is a useful base for your own Handler implementation.
The TechTip includes full source code and comprehesive instructions for GlassFish.
