Catch SOAP Reply in Managed Bean

Question

Dear All,
I am developing an application that calls a web service. My question is, is it possible for me to have my managed bean method be called when the we service soap response is returned?
I wanted to basically inspect the SOAP envelope but currently I dont have any idea on how to go about doing what I want.
Any ideas please? Thanks.
I'd clarify my post further. Suppose I have this code
public MyBean{
     public void handleClick(){
          // GetEmployeeInfo is a web service call
          OperationBinding method = bindings.getOperationBinding("GetEmployeeInfo"); 
          method.execute();
<af:button actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.myBean.handleClick}" />Can I get a hold on the sending and receiving of the SOAP traffic?
Or is this impossible to say the least?

Hi,
You can intercept both SOAP request and response of the web service call using a SOAPHandler.
Basically, you will need a Handler class, something like:
public class LogHandler implements SOAPHandler<SOAPMessageContext> {Along with this, you will need to define a @HandlerChain annotation on your service class which should point to the handler file:
<handler-chains xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
        <handler-chain>
            <handler>
                <handler-class>oracle.sample.LogHandler</handler-class>
            </handler>
        </handler-chain>
</handler-chains>Thanks,
