Hi,

I've been grokking the WSS4J code for several months now.  I've managed to
get the UsernameToken and X509Token profiles working beautifully, and I'm
proceeding to the SAML Token profile now.  I've implemented my own Merlins,
am programmatically configuring services to use the callbacks, the whole
schmear.  What I'm wondering is the following:

I have many different services each of which can potentially require any of
the three WSS Profiles.  I want to be able to specify per-service which
handler to use, only I haven't been able to do this.  The primary reason is
that the WSDoAllSender class does not extend
"javax.xml.rpc.handler.Handler", it instead extends
"org.apache.axis.handlers.BasicHandler".  Because of this, I cannot add
separately configued WSDoAllSender instances to a HandlerChainImpl in order
to register this particular Handler Chain with a particular Service via
Service.getHandlerRegistry().setHandlerChain(myHandlerChainImpl), as
HandlerChains require the former type of Handler, not the latter.  The only
thing I can do is to change the Handler for the entire Axis Client Engine,
which means that if I have a multi-threaded application, and some of those
threads are performing Service calls requiring the Username Token profile,
and some of those threads are attempting to lookup up a service in a UDDI
Registry and some of those threads are attempting to make Service calls on a
Service requiring the X509 Token profile, I have to juggle my Engine's
configuration around or serialize all of my service calls, neither of which
are very good solutions.

If you know of a workaround for this situation or have any advice you can
forward I would greatly appreciate a brief discussion.  This is a critical
issue for us and while I can see a way around it using the existing
codebase, it's not an ideal solution by any stretch.

I thank you most kindly for your time!

Best regards,

Ben
