Major Description
When using a cxf endpoint in payload mode, specifying a WSDL and no service class, the JAX-WS protocol handlers are ignored.
Documentation however indicates that payload mode supports protocol JAX-WS handlers.
I made a pull request that activates the JAX-WS handlers in this scenario as well, by using a JaxWsEndpointImpl instead of EndpointImpl and removing some checks that avoid the handlers being set.
