Obtaining UsernameToken information at the service.

[Sanjay Vivek]

Hi everyone,

I'm attempting to write a service that simply tells me who authenicated
from the client side. I've been using the tutorial given at
http://wso2.org/library/169 as a guide. The code snippet below is at the
service side:

            Vector results = null;
                WSSecurityEngineResult wser=null;
                
                MessageContext msgCtx = new MessageContext();
                
                if ((results = (Vector)
msgCtx.getProperty(WSHandlerConstants.RECV_RESULTS)) == null) {
                        throw new RuntimeException("No security
results!!");
                } else {
                        for (int i = 0; i < results.size(); i++) {
                                //Get hold of the WSHandlerResult
instance
                                WSHandlerResult rResult =
(WSHandlerResult) results.get(i);
                                Vector wsSecEngineResults =
rResult.getResults();

                                for (int j = 0; j <
wsSecEngineResults.size(); j++) {
                                        //Get hold of the
WSSecurityEngineResult instance
                                        wser =
(WSSecurityEngineResult)wsSecEngineResults.get(j);

                                }
                        }
                }
                
                //Extract the principal
                WSUsernameTokenPrincipal principal =
(WSUsernameTokenPrincipal)wser.getPrincipal();

                //Get username
                String user = principal.getName();
                
                return user;

However, I'm getting an Axisfault as shown below:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: No security
results!!

So basically the results of the security processing isn't being
returned. What am I doing wrong? The only thing I can think of is that
I've wrongly created the MessageContext instance. Any ideas on how I
should proceed? Cheers.
