I have an axis2 webservice that is spring aware. Making the service spring aware was easy, following the tips in axis2 web. Is there any way to make the phase handlers spring aware?

The only thing I could find was this?

<handler name="simpleHandler" class="myapp.webservice.SimpleHandler" />

Which does not allow it to be configured with Spring.

And may be someone knows. Is it possible to use handlers only for some oprations?
