Service Development Help : Working with Web Services : Working with Handlers : Registering a Header Handler
Registering a Header Handler
Register the handler as either a consumer or provider using pub.soap.handler:registerWmConsumer or pub.soap.handler:registerWmProvider, respectively. During registration:
*You provide a logical name for the handler.
*You specify the services for handling a request, a response, and a fault as input.
*You optionally specify the list of QNames on which the handler operates.
Specify QNames only if you want to associate with handler with one or more QNames. Registering QNames with a handler provides the following benefits:
*Integration Server can perform mustUnderstand checking for the header with the QName at run time. If a service receives a SOAP message in which a header requires mustUnderstand processing by the recipient, Integration Server uses the header QName to locate the handler that processes the header. Note that the handler must be part of the handler chain for the WSD that contains the service.
*When adding headers to a WSD, Designer populates the list of IS document types that can be used as headers in the WSD with the IS document types whose QNames were registered with the handlers already added to the WSD. If you add a IS document type as a header to a WSD and the QName of that IS document type is not associated with a handler, Designer adds the header but display a warning stating that there is not an associated handler.
*When consuming WSDL to create a provider or consumer WSD, Integration Server automatically adds a handler to the resulting WSD if the WSDL contains a QName supported by the handler.
Note:  
Integration Server stores information about registered header handlers in memory. Integration Server does not persist registered header handler information across restarts. Consequently, you must register header handlers each time Integration Server starts. To accomplish this, create a service that registers a header handler and make that service a start up service for the package that contains the services that act as header handlers.
