public abstract class BasicHandler

extends java.lang.Object

implements Handler

BasicHandler is a utility class which implements simple property setting/getting behavior, and stubs out a lot of the Handler methods. Extend this class to make writing your Handlers easier, and then override what you need to.

Method Detail

init

public void init()

Stubbed-out methods. Override in your child class to implement any real behavior. Note that there is NOT a stub for invoke(), since we require any Handler derivative to implement that.

Specified by:

init in interface Handler

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

canHandleBlock

public boolean canHandleBlock(QName qname)

Description copied from interface: Handler

Indicate if this handler can process qname.

Specified by:

canHandleBlock in interface Handler

Parameters:

qname - the QName to check

Returns:

true if this Handler can handle qname, false otherwise

onFault

public void onFault(MessageContext msgContext)

Description copied from interface: Handler

Called when a subsequent handler throws a fault.

Specified by:

onFault in interface Handler

Parameters:

msgContext - the MessageContext to process the fault to

setOption

public void setOption(java.lang.String name,
                      java.lang.Object value)

Set the given option (name/value) in this handler's bag of options

Specified by:

setOption in interface Handler

Parameters:

name - the name of the option

value - the new value of the option

setOptionDefault

public boolean setOptionDefault(java.lang.String name,
                                java.lang.Object value)

Set a default value for the given option: if the option is not already set, then set it. if the option is already set, then do not set it.

If this is called multiple times, the first with a non-null value if 'value' will set the default, remaining calls will be ignored.

Returns true if value set (by this call), otherwise false;

getOption

public java.lang.Object getOption(java.lang.String name)

Returns the option corresponding to the 'name' given

Specified by:

getOption in interface Handler

Parameters:

name - the name of the option

Returns:

the value of the option

getOptions

public java.util.Hashtable getOptions()

Return the entire list of options

Specified by:

getOptions in interface Handler

Returns:

a Hashset containing all name/value pairs

setOptions

public void setOptions(java.util.Hashtable opts)

Description copied from interface: Handler

Sets a whole list of options.

Specified by:

setOptions in interface Handler

Parameters:

opts - a Hashtable of name-value pairs to use

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)

Set the name (i.e. registry key) of this Handler

Specified by:

setName in interface Handler

Parameters:

name - the new name

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Return the name (i.e. registry key) for this Handler

Specified by:

getName in interface Handler

Returns:

the name for this Handler

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

Parameters:

doc - a Document within which to build the deployment data

Returns:

an Element representing the deployment data

generateWSDL

public void generateWSDL(MessageContext msgContext)
                  throws AxisFault

Description copied from interface: Handler

Obtain WSDL information. Some Handlers will implement this by merely setting properties in the MessageContext, others (providers) will take responsibility for doing the "real work" of generating WSDL for a given service.

Specified by:

generateWSDL in interface Handler

Parameters:

msgContext - the MessageContext to generate the WSDL to

Throws:

AxisFault - if there was a problem generating the WSDL

getUnderstoodHeaders

public java.util.List getUnderstoodHeaders()

Return a list of QNames which this Handler understands. By returning a particular QName here, we are committing to fulfilling any contracts defined in the specification of the SOAP header with that QName.

Specified by:

getUnderstoodHeaders in interface Handler

Returns:

a List of QName instances
