Yes, look at test\wsdl\jaxrpchandler\JAXRPCHandlerTestCase.java search for ClientHandler

So you cant access that Message Context. How ever you can do one thing. You can implement a Handler which will be invoked only in the requestFlow and can then manipulate the SOAPMessage and the Handler end. To do that you must add a handler in the deploy.wsdd file and write a Handler class which extends the BasicHandler class of Axis APIs. <handler name="AttachmentHandler" type="java:com.bt.oexgateway.webservices.AttachmentHandler"/> <service name="TestOAGXMLService" provider="java:RPC" style="rpc" use="encoded"> <requestFlow> <handler type="AttachmentHandler"/> </requestFlow> <responseFlow> <handler type="AttachmentHandler"/> </responseFlow> .... </service> The handler class will be something like this import org.apache.axis.handlers.BasicHandler; public class AttachmentHandler extends BasicHandler { public void invoke(MessageContext msgContext) throws AxisFault { System.out.println("Hi Hi Handler Invoked !! "); // Gets the Request SOAP Message Message reqMsg = msgContext.getRequestMessage(); // Gets the response SOAP Message Message respMsg = msgContext.getResponseMessage(); ... .... } } During the call from the client the method invoke() of the declared handler is called . It depends on the declaration in the WSDD file . If you need it in both requestFlow and responseFlow then give as above wsdd. if you need only in request then only <requestFlow> is needed.. Depends upon you and ur application. People, Hope I am right here. Hope this helps you Cheers Dhanush ----- Original Message ----- From: Jose M.

My problem is that in order to sign the SOAP Envelope I need to first have it! :-) I have looked everywhere but I haven't found where to do this. I'm doing Service service = new Service(); Call call = (Call) service.createCall(); call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endPoint) ); call.setOperationName( new QName(endPoint, operationName) ); call.addParameter( "String", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN ); call.setReturnType( XMLType.XSD_STRING ); String resu = (String) call.invoke(new Object[] { "Some String Input" }); After this last statement I can get the SOAP Message from the message context doing: mc = call.getMessageContext(); env = request.getSOAPEnvelope(); But the service was already invoked!!!Is there any way of setting the parameters used for a call without actually invoking the service?
