Hi, I want to perform some Authentication for my Web Service. I have a list of machine names e.g. devmachine.xxx.com and I only want to service requests that come from these machines. We are using a list of machine names as the ip's for these machines can change.
So, I need some mechanism whereby the ip of the requester can be checked against the ip of each of the machine names in the list (the machine names can be stored in an xml or properties file). If the ip's match then the request can be processed (passed onto the axis servlet?) otherwise an error response should be generated. Does axis provide any specific mechanism for this sort of thing? Could I just change the address location in the wsdl for the service to a second servlet, which could forward the request to the proper address if the ip is in the list? Thanks in advance, Ronan
