9.15.1.3. Service endpoint handlers

On the service endpoint, handlers are defined using the @HandlerChain annotation.

 
@WebService
@HandlerChain(file = "jaxws-server-source-handlers.xml")
public class SOAPEndpointSourceImpl
{
...
}

The location of the handler chain file supports 2 formats

1. An absolute java.net.URL in externalForm. (ex: http://myhandlers.foo.com/handlerfile1.xml)

2. A relative path from the source file or class file. (ex: bar/handlerfile1.xml)
