Client handler chain

[pseudonym]

Hello,

I have created a Jbossws application that is a client to a .NET web service. The applcation runs on JBoss 4.0.4 on Windows XP with Java 1.5.0_09.

I need to add a handler to the to the client in order to add some authentication information. Below is a snippet from my application.xml file:

<service-ref>
 <service-ref-name>services/testService</service-ref-name>
 <service-interface>javax.xml.rpc.Service</service-interface>
 <wsdl-file>META-INF/wsdl/TestService.wsdl</wsdl-file>
 <jaxrpc-mapping-file>META-INF/jaxrpc-mapping.xml</jaxrpc-mapping-file>
 <port-component-ref>
 <service-endpoint-interface>com.test.TestServiceImplSoap</service-endpoint-interface>
 </port-component-ref>
 <handler>
 <handler-name>LogHandler</handler-name>
 <handler-class>com.test.LogHandler</handler-class>
 </handler>
 </service-ref>

The application deploys fine without error. When I call the service using a client the handler is not called at all (I've included debug messages in the init method that do not get called).

I would very grateful if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

Dave

How do you deploy your app?
Through a WAR file?
Did you build yourself the WAR file?

Maybe this thread could help you

Thanks for the reply. I looked at the URL you sent but I think the handler chain they're setting up is for a jbossws service end point.

I'm trying to set up a handler for a client. The application is not deployed as part of a war file. It's deployed in a jar file as a j2ee 1.4 web service client (I think this is called a JSR-109 client - see http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossws/user-guide/en/html/clients.html ). The contents of the jar file includes the following in /META-INF:


/META-INF/application-client.xml
/META-INF/jaxrpc-mapping.xml
/META-INF/jboss-client.xml
/META-INF/wsdl/TestService.wsdl

I think the jbossws examples (version 1.0.3) includes an example of what I'm trying to do under the handler directory. The handler example connects to a locally hosted web service whilst I connect to a remotely (.NET) hosted web service.

As I say I don't get any exceptions on deployment so I'm quite stumped about what jboss is doing.

Cheers,

Server and client side are fundamentally disconnectd. That the server is on the same host is irrelevant. Please check that the handler shows up in the Unified Meta Data Model (UMDM) in the logfile.
