Hi All, Thanks for all the feedback. I think we need to break this up into two different threads of discussion: - What to do in 1.3 (so there are no API changes) - How to fix this correctly in post 1.3 for all the scenarios (which will include API changes for headers and roles, plugability, and such)
I'll start a new thread for the post 1.3 discussion. For the 1.3 discussion, I agree with David Illsley's observation that the JAXWS-handler approach and marking headers as "processed" even though they have not been is a "hack". But I also understand Sanjiva's concern about introducing an API that doesn't necessarily solve all the problems this close to 1.3. So, I'm thinking through if the JAXWS handler hack will solve the specific issues my commit (and a few subsequent changes based on it) was addressing. Assuming it will, I'll post a description of how I intend to refactor it to remove the API introduced on AxisOperation. This refactoring will be done under https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2853 , but note that the 1.3 solution will likely not be pluggable, just workable.

Hmm. Yes I think this is what I'm saying. I believe that's been the case since Axis1 days right? > If you're vetoing a commit (which it sounds like you are?), fire away > with the -1s! However...

I was talking about vetoing a commit on the basis that its not the right solution and that a better solution needs more fundamental design. I was avoiding doing it and suggesting that we don't do this feature at this point. > Not sure exactly what the right thing here is, but I think I'd prefer to > leave it in in some form rather than having JAXWS rely on a > Handler-based mechanism.... Problem is "some form" is not a good model because whatever we put in is permanent and this is a key API that'd touch a lot including codegen. If JAX-WS rely on a handler based mechanism for now I'd rather let get go and talk thru some of the scenarios and figure out the right solution (which is very likely along the path you suggested).
