JAX-WS Handler doesn't work.

Question

Hi,
I try to put my handler to handler chain (on client side) this way:
// MyService class is generated from WSDL file by Apache-CXF wsdl2java tool.
// Of course MyService extends javax.xml.ws.Service
MyService myService = mew MyService()
myService.setHandlerResolver(new HandlerResolver() {
public List<Handler> getHandlerChain(PortInfo arg0) {
System.out.println(arg0);
List c = new ArrayList();
// MyHandler class prints some text to System.out in handleXXX() methods, it implements javax.xml.ws.handler.Handler
c.add(new MyHandler());
return c;
It is a snippet of StatelessBean - it is client of external services.
When I next try to invoke some service - myService.getPort().run() - the handler is not "notified".
Why it doesn't work???
I tried another way:
((BindingProvider) myService.getPort()).getBinding().getHandlerChain().add(new MyHandler())
It doesn't work too!
And surprise:)
I wrote that code:
((BindingProvider) myService.getPort()).getBinding().getHandlerChain().add(new MyHandler())
System.out.println(
((BindingProvider) myService.getPort()).getBinding().getHandlerChain().size()
What's the result of print?
0 (zero)
Could someone tell me why?
Thx,
Peter.

I am having a similiar problem with Vista x32.  The preview handler is able to display the pdf, but the fields that were filled in prior to the email are not showing any values, but when you open the pdf with reader the values are there.  Below is a more detail account of what is happening.  I have contacted the third party dll as well, but thought someone here might have an idea too.
I have a client that is using the a thrid party PDF dll (Syncfusion) to generate and email PDFs reports. There seems to be an issue with the PDFs that are generated and using the built-in PDF Preview Handler for Vista. The scenario is ...
1. User receives an email into Outlook that contains a generated PDF (see image ''01-Opening-Email.jpg'')
2. User clicks on the attachment in Outlook and the preview handler starts up (see image ''02-Loading-Previewer.jpg'')
3. The PDF displayed in the preview handler does not have any of the fields filled out (see image ''03-Report-Loaded-In-Viewer.jpg'')
4. User then right clicks on the PDF (in outlook) and selects to open the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Version 9.0 and the report is displayed with all the fields filled out (see image ''04-Report-Opened-With-Adobe.jpg'')
All of these images are included in the attachment that I have uploaded with this incident. As well, in the RAR file is the PDF that was sent by the system using the PDF dll from Syncfusion. Please let me know if you need any more information from me.
