Re: [Axis2] Role support for Axis2 handlers

(cc'd to commons-dev because we're discussing Axiom)

Hey Glen,
Restructuring is fine by me - I know it's necessary. Add that method
by all means, but given recent experience of writing handlers, I don't
think we can add methods for all the useful header access patterns
people might want.

Given that, how about we also add (I'm not bothered about the exact name):
    SOAPHeaderBlock.matchesRole(RolePlayer rp)

?

Sadly things are a little busy so I won't be at ApacheCon. Have a good time!
