It can only come in on the port the web server accepts HTTP requests on.

Subject: Get Client Port

Hello,

 

I am trying to collect information about the computer which called my web service.

To know the IP address, I use

 

remote_ip_address = ((javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)mc.getProperty(org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST)).getRemoteAddr();

 

This works, but I also would like to know the port number where the call is coming from. Is it possible?

I am guessing that the couple IP_address/Port is unique, so that I can better read the log file I am populating. But does a better identification method exist (so that I can distinguish WS calls between them)?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Fabien
