So, my understanding and please correct me if I am wrong, somebody,
is that if you declare a checked exception in your impl class and throw one, your response handler will not get called. The exception will immediately propagate back to the client, bypassing any response handlers you may have declared on the way back. (I just tested that with a very simple web service, and that is the behavior I see, using Axis 1.4/Tomcat 5.5). Now, if I throw a RuntimeException from my implementation class (that is, not checked), then my onFault() method in my response handler class did get called. So I ask, what kind of exception did you see, one that is a runtime exception or a checked exception (declared in the wsdl, that is, for each operation in the portType and binding sections)? In summary, I would try to catch the exception in your impl class, and rethrow a new exception that isn't declared in your wsdl. There is a decent chance you will get a chance to see it in the response handler if you write a onFault() method. (If you're doing JAX-RPC handlers, then you will need to write a handleFault() method). -jeff _____ From: pp pp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 8:57 AM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: axis handler being omitted hi everyone, I am a bit puzzled about axis handler mechanism. Is there any way to invoke axis handler after web service operation rises an exception? whenever I invoke web service it goes through the handler as long as the service does not rise exception. if it does throw, the handler is omitted. web service is defined as follows <service name="zonk" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="wsdlServicePort" value="zonk"/> <parameter name="className" value="zonk.example.ZonkSoapBindingSkeleton"/> <parameter name="typeMappingVersion" value=" 1.2"/> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> <parameter name="wsdlServiceElement" value="MyServiceService"/> <parameter name="wsdlTargetNamespace" value="urn:MyService"/> <parameter name="wsdlPortType" value="MyService"/> <parameter name="scope" value="Session"/> <parameter name="schemaUnqualified" value="urn:MyService"/> <typeMapping deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ " qname="ns9:DMSException" serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory" type="java:zonk.example.DMSException" xmlns:ns9="urn:MyService"/> <responseFlow> <handler name="monitorHandler" type="java:monitor.MonitorHandler"> </handler> </responseFlow> </service>
