Hi Richard
I am strongly belive that doing so ..... changing the execution flow
by the handlers is against axis semantics.
what u need to do is sounds like caching......(the context of the
caching is "n this case, only when the reply message is not ready, the
service will be called. If the reply is already there, the request
handler will put the reply into the reply message directly and return it
client." your words :) )
if caching is what u reqired and it's usage can be justifiable, I belive
what you should do is handle it at TOMCAT(sever level).
hope this helps.
