Handler interface
  is the base interface for JAX-WS handlers.| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| void | close(MessageContext context)Called at the conclusion of a message exchange pattern just prior to
 the JAX-WS runtime dispatching a message, fault or exception. | 
| boolean | handleFault(C context)The  handleFaultmethod is invoked for fault message
  processing. | 
| boolean | handleMessage(C context)The  handleMessagemethod is invoked for normal processing
  of inbound and outbound messages. | 
boolean handleMessage(C context)
handleMessage method is invoked for normal processing
