Running SoapHandler not called after WS operation

Question

I have a servlet that also consumes SOAP WS (in doGet). I want to see a SOAP envelope (or something else in a soap message). I am adding this code to my servlet class:

class ClientHandlerResolver implements HandlerResolver {
    public List<Handler> getHandlerChain(PortInfo port_info) {
        List<Handler> hchain = new ArrayList<Handler>();
        hchain.add(new TestHandler()); //  soap handler defined in TestHandler.java dumps messages to stdout
        return hchain;
    }
}

I am a separate class, I have TestHandler:

public class TestHandler implements SOAPHandler<SOAPMessageContext> {
private static final String LoggerName = "ClientSideLogger";
private Logger logger;
private final boolean log_p = true; // set to false to turn off 

public TestHandler() { 
logger = Logger.getLogger(LoggerName);
 }

public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext ctx) {
if (log_p) 
    logger.info("Test::handleMessage"); 

// Is this an outbound message, i.e., a request?
Boolean request_p = (Boolean)
      ctx.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY);

// Manipulate the SOAP only if it a request
  if (request_p) {
    try {
        SOAPMessage msg = ctx.getMessage(); 
        msg.writeTo(System.out);

    }
    catch(SOAPException e) 
    { System.err.println(e); 
    }
    catch(IOException e) 
    { System.err.println(e); 
    }
}
  return true; // continue down the chain

}

public boolean handleFault(SOAPMessageContext ctx) {
  return true; 

}

public Set<QName> getHeaders() { 
if (log_p)
    logger.info("getHeaders");
return null;

}

public void close(MessageContext messageContext) { 
if (log_p)
    logger.info("close");
}

}

When executing a WS request, nothing is printed. I don’t even know if the handler is called.

How to see printouts defined in the handler?

I'm not sure what Eclipse generates for you, but here is one way to do this. Suppose this MyServiceis an interface created from WSDL:

URL wsdlURL = new URL("...");
QName serviceName = new QName("...", "...");
Service service = Service.create(wsdlURL, serviceName);
HandlerResolver handlerResolver = new ClientHandlerResolver();
service.setHandlerResolver(handlerResolver);
MyService myService = service.getPort(MyService.class);
// invoke methods (operations) on myService
