<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
	<S:Header>
		<macAddress xmlns="http://ws.mkyong.com/" 
			xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
			SOAP-ENV:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next">
				90-4C-E5-44-B9-00
		</macAddress>

In short, web service handler is just a interceptor to intercept incoming and outgoing SOAP message, both in client or server side, and it’s able to manipulate the SOAP message values as well.
