Web service client applications that use handlers need some additional configuration before you deploy them.
This section assumes that you have already created and built your handlers by following the instructions in Developing and using client side handlers.
The steps below use the example myGetQuote client application and assume that a GetQuote service is running. (This service is with the samples supplied with WebSphere Application Server Version 5.0 or later). If you do not have the appropriate service, you must create the service code from the WSDL in the samples directory.
Once you have developed a client application as described in Developing and deploying web service client applications, you can add one or more service handlers that can be used as a request or response type.
void setTransportProperty( SOAPACTIONHEADER, “<ServiceName>”);
To deploy an application with handlers, complete the following steps.
The example screen shot below shows the myGetQuote application run from the command line. To enable myGetQuote to run as shown below, the required handlers have previously been defined in the WSDD file, and the location of the WSDD file has been defined in the axiscpp.conf file.
