Class name
The name of the class that implements the JAX-RPC handler.
Before we can create a handler configuration, you must make the handler class available to the application server in one of the following ways:
- Copy the individual class file into a directory structure under app_server_root/classes that matches the package name of the class, where app_server_root is the root directory for the installation of WAS. For example a handler class com.ibm.jaxrpc.handler.TestHandler is copied into the app_server_root/classes/com/ibm/jaxrpc/handler directory.
- Package the class files for all the handlers as a JAR file, then copy it into the app_server_root/lib/app directory.
