Question

I am using Axis2 for my webservices creation. I need to validate the received soap request(is it complain with defined xsd schema).

For this I am using Handlers in axis2.

Now my problem is that how can i specify diffrent handlers which are psecific to diffrent webservice calls(in services.xml).

For example for create user i will user a enp as http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/createUser

and for updateUser i will invoke http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/updateUser.

For each invokatioon hadlers must be different.

Can any one give any suggestions on this regards.

Thanks,
Narendra

The common way to do what you describe is to implement a module and then to engage this module(s) in your services.xml. You can see a detailed example here: http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/modules.html The pocess in short is:

1. Create the Module Implementation
2. Create the Handlers
3. Create the module.xml
4. Modify the “axis2.xml” (if you need custom phases)
5. Modify the “services.xml” to engage modules at the deployment time.
6. Package in a “.mar” (Module Archive)
7. Deploy the module in Axis2

Engaging the module in your services.xml is as simple as:

< module ref=”logging” />

Please note that a module might be engaged per operation. Also note this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg06058.html

So the recommended way is to make a
module with the necessary handlers and
the capability to add handlers in
services will be completely removed in
the next release.

I hope this clears things.
