All Implemented Interfaces:
Chain, Handler, java.io.Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
SimpleTargetedChain

public class SimpleChain
extends BasicHandler
implements Chain

A Simple Chain is a 'composite' Handler in that it aggregates a collection of Handlers and also acts as a Handler which delegates its operations to the collection.

A Simple Chain initially has no Handlers. Handlers may be added until the chain is invoke()d after which Handlers may not be added (and any attempt to do so will throw an exception).

SimpleChain

public SimpleChain()
Method Detail

init

public void init()
Description copied from interface: Handler
Init is called when the chain containing this Handler object is instantiated.

Specified by:
init in interface Handler
Overrides:
init in class BasicHandler

cleanup

public void cleanup()
Description copied from interface: Handler
Cleanup is called when the chain containing this Handler object is done processing the chain.

Specified by:
cleanup in interface Handler
Overrides:
cleanup in class BasicHandler

invoke

public void invoke(MessageContext msgContext)
            throws AxisFault
Iterate over the chain invoking each handler. If there's a fault then call 'onFault' for each completed handler in reverse order, then rethrow the exception.

Specified by:
invoke in interface Handler
Parameters:
msgContext - the MessageContext to process with this Handler.
Throws:
AxisFault - if there was a fault with any of the handlers

generateWSDL

public void generateWSDL(MessageContext msgContext)
                  throws AxisFault
Iterate over the chain letting each handler have a crack at contributing to a WSDL description.

Specified by:
generateWSDL in interface Handler
Overrides:
generateWSDL in class BasicHandler
Parameters:
msgContext - the MessageContext to write the WSDL out to
Throws:
AxisFault - if there was a problem writing the WSDL

onFault

public void onFault(MessageContext msgContext)
Notify the handlers in this chain because some handler later on has faulted - in reverse order. If any handlers have been added since we visited the chain, they will get notified too!

Specified by:
onFault in interface Handler
Overrides:
onFault in class BasicHandler
Parameters:
msgContext - the context to process

canHandleBlock

public boolean canHandleBlock(QName qname)
Description copied from interface: Handler
Indicate if this handler can process qname.

Specified by:
canHandleBlock in interface Handler
Overrides:
canHandleBlock in class BasicHandler

addHandler

public void addHandler(Handler handler)
Description copied from interface: Chain
Adds a handler to the end of the chain. May not be called after invoke.

Specified by:
addHandler in interface Chain
Parameters:
handler - the Handler to be added

contains

public boolean contains(Handler handler)
Description copied from interface: Chain
Discover if a handler is in this chain.

Specified by:
contains in interface Chain
Parameters:
handler - the Handler to check
Returns:
true if it is in this chain, false otherwise

getHandlers

public Handler[] getHandlers()
Description copied from interface: Chain
Get the list of handlers in the chain. Is Handler[] the right form?

Specified by:
getHandlers in interface Chain
Returns:
an array of Handlers that have been added

getDeploymentData

public org.w3c.dom.Element getDeploymentData(org.w3c.dom.Document doc)
Description copied from interface: Handler
This will return the root element of an XML doc that describes the deployment information about this handler. This is NOT the WSDL, this is all of the static internal data use by Axis - WSDL takes into account run-time information (like which service we're talking about) this is just the data that's stored in the registry. Used by the 'list' Admin function.

Specified by:
getDeploymentData in interface Handler
Overrides:
getDeploymentData in class BasicHandler
