About Creating Handlers
See Also
A handler is a Java class that provides a filtering mechanism for
preprocessing and postprocessing the web service message, by intercepting it and acting
on the request or response.
Typical uses of handlers include:
- Logging and auditing
- Encryption and decryption
- Caching of data
There are two types of handlers: message handlers
and logical handlers.
- Logical handlers are only supported by web services
and clients that are compatible with the Java EE 5 specification.
