Customizing the NonStop SOAP 4 Message Process Using Handlers
To customize the NonStop SOAP 4 message process using handlers, you must have a good
understanding of the request process in NonStop SOAP 4.
Customizing the NonStop SOAP 4 server using handlers involves the following steps:
• “Creating a User-Defined Phase” (page 131)
• “Deploying and Attaching a Module” (page 132)
• “Developing a Sample Module for NonStop SOAP 4” (page 132)
NOTE: In most cases, handlers that are attached with the default phases of NonStop SOAP 4
meet most of the customization requirements. Therefore, you rarely need to create a user-defined
phase.
This section describes the request processing flow in NonStop SOAP 4 followed by the steps to
customize NonStop SOAP 4 message using handlers.
