Editing SOAP Response

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement in which I need to edit the soap response before sending it back to client. Here is the code snippet.
@Resource
WebServiceContext context;
@WebMethod
public QueryByExampleOutput QueryByExample( QueryByExampleInput input ) {    
QueryByExampleOutput output = new QueryByExampleOutput ();
try
output = adptInst.mQueryByExample(input); ---> this is another web service(Siebel) method
//this is where I need to intercept the SOAP response before sending it back to client
catch(lException se) {
return output;
How to achive this? I tried to use XMLStreamWriter but in vain.
I am using WebLogic server 10.3 and JAX-WS stack.
Thanks,
Sudha.

Answer 1

I tried the following steps. Still was not able to hit the handleMessage code during the webservice call.
1.     Created a new class which extends SOAPHandler<SOAPMessageContext>
public class SessionTokenHandler implements SOAPHandler<SOAPMessageContext>
2.     Implemented getHeaders, close, handleFault & handleMessage in the above file
3.     Created a new handlers.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<handler-chains xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
<handler-chain>
<handler>
<handler-name/>
<handler-class>com.SessionTokenHandler</handler-class>
</handler>
</handler-chain>
</handler-chains>
4.     Included Handler annotation @HandlerChain(file = "handlers.xml") at the beginning of my Web Service class
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Sudha.
