A JAX-WS handler provides customization of web service request or response handling.
Console path:
Service integration -> WS-Notification -> JAX-WS Handlers -> handler_name.
A 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.
Configuration tab
The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted.
General Properties
Name
The name of the JAX-WS Handler
This name must be unique, 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 we change a handler name, the system looks up all objects that refer to it and updates the name.

Class name
The class name of the JAX-WS Handler
Before we can create a handler configuration, 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 WebSphere Application Server. For example a handler class com.ibm.jaxws.handler.TestHandler is copied into the app_server_root/classes/com/ibm/jaxws/handler directory.
- Package the class files for all your handlers as a JAR file, then copy it into the app_server_root/lib/app directory.
