The <apphandler_class> pipeline configuration element

Specifies that the terminal handler of the pipeline links to an Axis2 application handler.

The <apphandler_class> element is used to specify an Axis2 application handler when your <terminal_handler> element contains a <cics_json_handler_java>, <cics_soap_1.1_handler_java>, or <cics_soap_1.2_handler_java> element. To use the supplied Axis2 application handler, specify com.ibm.cicsts.axis2.CICSAxis2ApplicationHandler in the <apphandler_class> element. When using the CICS® SOAP handlers, you can also specify your own Axis2 application handler class.
Alternatively, you can specify the <apphandler> element in your pipeline configuration file if you want to use a channel-attached application handler, for more information see the <apphandler> element. However, you must not specify <apphandler_class> and <apphandler> elements in the same pipeline configuration file.
Note: You must not use the <apphandler> element with the <cics_json_handler_java> element.
You must not use the <apphandler_class> element if your <terminal_handler> element contains either a <cics_soap_1.1_handler> or <cics_soap_1.2_handler> element.
For more information about application handlers, see Application handlers.
