About Request Handler Services
 
Request Handler Services and Status Codes
A request handler service is used with a SOAP request. The processing point at which Integration Server invokes a request handler service depends on whether the web service descriptor is a consumer or a provider.
Web Service Descriptor
Behavior
Consumer
Integration Server invokes the request handler service for each handler in the handler chain after creating the initial outbound SOAP request but before sending the SOAP request to the web service provider.
Provider
Integration Server invokes the request handler service for each handler in the handler chain immediately after the provider receives the SOAP request. After successfully executing the request handler service for each handler in the handler chain, Integration Server invokes the endpoint service.
A request handler service is sometimes referred to as a handleRequest service.
Note:Integration Server executes request handler services regardless of the message exchange pattern (MEP) for the web service connector or operation.
