JAX-WS : SOAP handler testing for client and server side

This is the part 3 of JAX-WS SOAP handler. A testing result for part 1 : SOAP handler in server side and part 2 : SOAP handler in client side. See following use cases

1. Valid MAC Address

From top to bottom showing a client with valid computer’s MAC address sending a request to published service.


Client : getHeaders()......
Client : getHeaders()......
Client : handleMessage()......
Current IP address : 192.168.0.2
Current MAC address : 90-4C-E5-44-B9-8F
<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
	<S:Header>
		<macAddress xmlns="http://ws.mkyong.com/" 
			xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
			SOAP-ENV:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next">
				90-4C-E5-44-B9-8F
		</macAddress>
	</S:Header>
	<S:Body>
		<ns2:getServerName xmlns:ns2="http://ws.mkyong.com/"/>
	</S:Body>
</S:Envelope>
Client : handleMessage()......
Client : close()......

2. Invalid MAC Address

From top to bottom showing a client with invalid computer’s MAC address sending a request to published service, and get a SOAPFaultException.


Client : getHeaders()......
Client : getHeaders()......
Client : handleMessage()......
Current IP address : 192.168.0.2
Current MAC address : 90-4C-E5-44-B9-00
<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
	<S:Header>
		<macAddress xmlns="http://ws.mkyong.com/" 
			xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
			SOAP-ENV:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next">
				90-4C-E5-44-B9-00
		</macAddress>
	</S:Header>
	<S:Body>
		<ns2:getServerName xmlns:ns2="http://ws.mkyong.com/"/>
	</S:Body>
</S:Envelope>
Server : handleMessage()......
Server : close()......
Client : handleFault()......
Client : close()......
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Invalid mac address, access is denied.

Done.

Conclusion

In short, web service handler is just a interceptor to intercept incoming and outgoing SOAP message, both in client or server side, and it’s able to manipulate the SOAP message values as well.
