The MessageContext

The MessageContext class stays with an XFire invocation from start to finish. It is useful for:

  • Accessing Messages, their xml streams and their headers
  • Storing/retrieving properties which need to be shared across different handlers
  • The service being invoked
  • The XFire instance being invoked

Accessing the MessageContext from your Operation

In some cases you want to be able to access XFire's MessageContext. The Invokers that come with XFire allow you to add a MessageContext variable to your operation like so:

public String echo(String echo, MessageContext context)
{
    // do something with the context...

    return echo;
}
