From: gstas...@googlemail.com To: axis-user@ws.apache.org hi, thanks for your reply but I still see some problems 1) if I understand correctly WSDDHandler API let me set parameters declaratively in server-config.wsdd or client-config.wsdd files. Unfortunately I don't know what my parameters' values should be during deployment, there is some business logic involved in calculating my parameters hence the values for my parameters are available only as a runtime values. Perhaps I could create my own implementation of this class but I suspect that I'd have to do a lot of changes to AXIS engine itself in order to use it. What's more I would have to further customize my generated stubs in order to pass my parameters' values to a new handler. All I want to do is pass some parameter along with it's value from a stub to some registered axis handler. And what's your opinion about putting additional header's to my soap envelope (e.g ... myParam=log2 )? Is it safe and more importantly could it break server implementation of the WebService ? (e.g. incorrect SOAP envelope e.t.c) 2) I like the idea with optional parameter as an array but again I'm only a client of some WS. As such, WSDL file I got is pretty closed (I can't do any changes to it as it would probably cause problems on the server side). I've already read Axis Architecture Guide but couldn't find any solution to my problem On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 4:57 PM, Martin Gainty <mgai...@hotmail.com> wrote: http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/architecture-guide.html allows you to conceptualise the use of Handlers for communicating from your client to service and bacl if you want to store the information DB is always your safest and most reliable option concerning optional params take a look at this example which defined stringElement as optional with minOccurs="0" <xsd:complexType name="ArrayOfString"> <xsd:complexContent> <xsd:restriction base="soap-enc:Array"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="stringElement" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xsd:sequence> http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/apiDocs/org/apache/axis/deployment/wsdd/WSDDHandler.html where parameters can be read collectively via getParametersTable (into HashTable) or individually via getParameter java.lang.String getParameter(java.lang.String name) Get the value of one of our parameters LockableHashtable getParametersTable() Returns the config parameters as a hashtable (lockable) hth Martin Gainty ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.

Date: Sat, 30 May 2009 15:20:45 +0100 Subject: Passing parameters from a calling client to registered request handler- can I use headers for this purpose? From: gstas...@googlemail.com To: axis-user@ws.apache.org hi, Are there any good patterns on how to pass parameters from a client to request handlers? Can I use for this purpose headers ? I thought about putting some additional header with call specific parameters I would read in my registered request handler but I'm not sure what impact will it (additional headers) have on the actual WebService (will it recognize such request as a valid XML document/request). My original problem is that once I do a call to the WS I need to log SOAP message (as a text) in some location (this location is per call specific so I can't use one folder). I use request handler registered in my client-config.wsdd file and it works fine but recognizing location. Probably I could use for this purpose database with three columns: 1) OperationName, 2) ServiceName, 3) location or even static class with some hashmap. The problems I see here are that in the first case my logger will slow down WS calls significantly as it will have to go to database and in case of static class.. they're always a problem while testing. I'd appreciate any suggestion how could I improve this. Environment Axis 1.4 -- Greg Stasica Hotmail® has a new way to see what's up with your friends.
