modifyJAXWSHandlerList command

Use the modifyJAXWSHandlerList command to modify the configuration details for a Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS) handler list that has been configured for use with Version 7.0 WS-Notification services.

We can modify a JAX-WS handler list by as described in this topic, or using the administrative console as described in Modify an existing JAX-WS handler list.

We can only add previously-configured handlers to a handler list. To configure a handler, see the createJAXWSHandler command.

To run the command, use the AdminTask object of the wsadmin scripting client.

The wsadmin scripting client is run from Qshell. For more information, see Configure Qshell to run WebSphere scripts .

Command-line help is provided for service integration bus commands:

After using the command, save the changes to the master configuration using the following command:

AdminConfig.save()


Purpose

A Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS) handler is a Java class that performs a range of handling tasks. For example: logging messages, or transforming their contents, or terminating an incoming request. To enable handlers to undertake more complex operations, you chain them together into handler lists. The approach taken in WebSphere Application Server is to assign handler lists (rather than individual handlers) to WS-Notification service points (for inbound invocation handling) or WS-Notification services (for outbound invocation handling).


Target Object

A JAX-WS handler list object.


Required parameters

-name

The name of the JAX-WS handler list.

This name must be unique at cell scope, and it must obey the following syntax rules:

  • It must not start with "." (a period).

  • It must not start or end with a space.

  • It must not contain any of the following characters: \ / , # $ @ : ; " * ? < > | = + & % '

When you change a handler list name, the system looks up all objects that refer to it and updates the name.


Conditional parameters

None.


Optional parameters

-description

A description of the JAX-WS handler list.

-handlers

The list of JAX-WS handler names to be added to this list.

Each handler name supplied must exist as a JAX-WS handler object at cell scope. Handlers are applied in the sequence in which they appear in the handler list.
