Re: Using handlers to look at method parameter values

[Rodrigo Ruiz]

If your service uses RPC style, you may find something in the code of 
RPCProvider. It should contain the code to obtain the argument values array

Thanks for your response.

I tried looking into the MessageContext, I am able to get the method 
name, the parameter types and names,
but looks like I won't be able to get the actual value.  I am going to 
try the deserializer route, but
I am not sure how that would work for simple types (eg. String or 
Integer). I could write a my own
BeanDeserializer and get the values of complex types, can we do 
something like that for simple types too.

Thanks again

hi

it is possible. all the parameter type and the value should be on the 
request flow. i think u can get the value from the messagecontext or u 
have to write the deserializer to get the value from the request flow.
