If I correctly understand you are trying to invoke your WebService via a GET request and not a "usual" "SOAP Client", isn't it? I gave a look at the code of the org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet and there I found that when the Servlet receives a POST request (line 869) it creates a MessageContext and fills it with lots of properties:
/* Save some HTTP specific info in the bag in case someone needs it */ /********************************************************************/ msgContext.setProperty(Constants.MC_JWS_CLASSDIR, jwsClassDir); msgContext.setProperty(Constants.MC_HOME_DIR, getHomeDir()); msgContext.setProperty(Constants.MC_RELATIVE_PATH, req.getServletPath()); msgContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLET, this ); msgContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST, req ); msgContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETRESPONSE, res ); msgContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETLOCATION, getWebInfPath() ); msgContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETPATHINFO, req.getPathInfo() ); msgContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.HEADER_AUTHORIZATION, req.getHeader(HTTPConstants.HEADER_AUTHORIZATION)); msgContext.setProperty(Constants.MC_REMOTE_ADDR, req.getRemoteAddr()); However, when it receives a GET request (line 1110) it also creates a MessageContext but fills it with other properties: // Place various useful servlet-related objects in // the MessageContext object being delivered to the // plugin. msgContext.setProperty (MessageContext.TRANS_URL, url); msgContext.setProperty (HTTPConstants.PLUGIN_SERVICE_NAME, serviceName); msgContext.setProperty (HTTPConstants.PLUGIN_NAME, handlerName); msgContext.setProperty (HTTPConstants.PLUGIN_IS_DEVELOPMENT, new Boolean (isDevelopment())); msgContext.setProperty (HTTPConstants.PLUGIN_ENABLE_LIST, new Boolean (enableList)); msgContext.setProperty (HTTPConstants.PLUGIN_ENGINE, engine); msgContext.setProperty (HTTPConstants.PLUGIN_WRITER, writer); msgContext.setProperty (HTTPConstants.PLUGIN_LOG, log); msgContext.setProperty (HTTPConstants.PLUGIN_EXCEPTION_LOG, exceptionLog); ... and the request is not part of it. Honestly I don't understand why different properties are added for these two different invocations. You could try to also add the request in the message context: msgContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST, req ); and see if than work...
