When deploying JAX-RPC handlers using via WSDD and the <handlerInfoChain> element, you can't decide _when_ your handlers will be invoke. They will always be invoked between the global chain and the service-specific chain (on the server side), or between the global chain and the transpot specific chain (on the client side), resp. Furthermore, they are always service specific.
Using JAXRPCHandler may have some drawbacks, since this class seems to need some fixes, but nevertheless you'll have the opportunity to plug JAX-RPC style handlers into any chain, like a transport-specific chain for example.

Does anybody know what JAXRPCHandler is supposed to be used for? After digging around in the source code, I finally figured out how to deploy services using JAX-RPC handlers via WSDD and the <handlerInfoChain> element. So, if <handlerInfoChain> is the intended method for deployment of JAX-RPC handlers, what is the class JAXRPCHandler used for?
Thanks for any insights.
