## org.apache.axis.handlers
Class BasicHandler

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--org.apache.axis.handlers.BasicHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Handler, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  AxisEngine, BasicProvider, CommonsHTTPSender, DebugHandler, EchoHandler, ErrorHandler, FaultableHandler, HTTPActionHandler, HTTPAuthHandler, HTTPSender, JavaSender, JAXRPCHandler, JMSSender, JWSHandler, LocalResponder, LocalSender, LogHandler, LogMessage, MailSender, MD5AttachHandler, MessageExchangeHandler, SimpleAuthenticationHandler, SimpleAuthorizationHandler, SimpleChain, SimpleSessionHandler, SOAPMonitorHandler, URLMapper

public abstract class BasicHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements Handler

`BasicHandler` is a utility class which implements simple property setting/getting behavior, and stubs out a lot of the Handler methods. Extend this class to make writing your Handlers easier, and then override what you need to.

`void` | `setOption(java.lang.String name, java.lang.Object value)` Set the given option (name/value) in this handler's bag of options
`boolean` | `setOptionDefault(java.lang.String name, java.lang.Object value)` Set a default value for the given option: if the option is not already set, then set it.

Field Detail

### log

    protected static org.apache.commons.logging.Log log

### makeLockable

    protected boolean makeLockable

### options

    protected java.util.Hashtable options

### name

    protected java.lang.String name

Constructor Detail

### BasicHandler

    public BasicHandler()

Method Detail

### setOptionsLockable

    protected void setOptionsLockable(boolean makeLockable)

  Should this Handler use a LockableHashtable for options? Default is 'false'.

### initHashtable

    protected void initHashtable()

### init

    public void init()

  Stubbed-out methods. Override in your child class to implement any real behavior.

  Specified by:
    `init` in interface `Handler`

### cleanup

    public void cleanup()

  Description copied from interface: `Handler`
  Cleanup is called when the chain containing this Handler object is done processing the chain.

  Specified by:
    `cleanup` in interface `Handler`

### canHandleBlock

    public boolean canHandleBlock(QName qname)

  Description copied from interface: `Handler`
  Can this Handler process this QName?

  Specified by:
    `canHandleBlock` in interface `Handler`

### onFault

    public void onFault(MessageContext msgContext)

  Description copied from interface: `Handler`
  Called when a subsequent handler throws a fault.

  Specified by:
    `onFault` in interface `Handler`

### invoke

    public abstract void invoke(MessageContext msgContext)
                         throws AxisFault

  Must implement this in subclasses.

  Specified by:
    `invoke` in interface `Handler`
    `AxisFault`

### setOption

    public void setOption(java.lang.String name,
                          java.lang.Object value)

  Set the given option (name/value) in this handler's bag of options

  Specified by:
    `setOption` in interface `Handler`

### setOptionDefault

    public boolean setOptionDefault(java.lang.String name,
                                    java.lang.Object value)

  Set a default value for the given option: if the option is not already set, then set it. if the option is already set, then do not set it.

  If this is called multiple times, the first with a non-null value if 'value' will set the default, remaining calls will be ignored.

  Returns true if value set (by this call), otherwise false;

### getOption

    public java.lang.Object getOption(java.lang.String name)

  Returns the option corresponding to the 'name' given

  Specified by:
    `getOption` in interface `Handler`

### getOptions

    public java.util.Hashtable getOptions()

  Return the entire list of options

  Specified by:
    `getOptions` in interface `Handler`

### setOptions

    public void setOptions(java.util.Hashtable opts)

  Description copied from interface: `Handler`
  Sets a whole list of options

  Specified by:
    `setOptions` in interface `Handler`

### setName

    public void setName(java.lang.String name)

  Set the name (i.e. registry key) of this Handler

  Specified by:
    `setName` in interface `Handler`

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

  Return the name (i.e. registry key) for this Handler

  Specified by:
    `getName` in interface `Handler`

### getDeploymentData

    public org.w3c.dom.Element getDeploymentData(org.w3c.dom.Document doc)

  Description copied from interface: `Handler`
  This will return the root element of an XML doc that describes the deployment information about this handler. This is NOT the WSDL, this is all of the static internal data use by Axis - WSDL takes into account run-time information (like which service we're talking about) this is just the data that's stored in the registry. Used by the 'list' Admin function.

  Specified by:
    `getDeploymentData` in interface `Handler`

### generateWSDL

    public void generateWSDL(MessageContext msgContext)
                      throws AxisFault

  Description copied from interface: `Handler`
  Obtain WSDL information. Some Handlers will implement this by merely setting properties in the MessageContext, others (providers) will take responsibility for doing the "real work" of generating WSDL for a given service.

  Specified by:
    `generateWSDL` in interface `Handler`
    `AxisFault`

### getUnderstoodHeaders

    public java.util.List getUnderstoodHeaders()

  Return a list of QNames which this Handler understands. By returning a particular QName here, we are committing to fulfilling any contracts defined in the specification of the SOAP header with that QName.

  Specified by:
    `getUnderstoodHeaders` in interface `Handler`
