Does an Axis handler can act as a pivot for another Web service?

[bytescruncher]

Hello,
I'm facing with this scenario: I have a Web service deployed through
Axis whose performances are monitored and recorded by an Axis global
handler; I would like to query remotely this handler in order to
retrive these performance data; the best solution for me would be to
expose this handler as a Web service; do you know if an Axis handler
can be a Web service itself (or better act as a pivot for a Web
service)?
Thanks.

Fundamentally a Handler cannot in itself be a web service - only access
and manipulate the Headers, body and message context and such of an
existing web service. A Handler is just an interface and follows fairly
strict Exception semantics that is just different.

I'd store the data and access that.
