Re: obtaining consumer IP
Great! Thanks for your advice as well. What I am doing now is purely academic, so it doesn't have to pass the "real-world" test :-) Rob On 4/26/05, Tim K.

obtaining consumer IP
Hi! I would need to obtain the IP address of clients/consumers that make calls to my Web services, preferably using a SOAP handler. So far, I have not found a way of achieving this. The MessageContext seems to be the only data I have in a handler, and from what I understand it does not contain the client's IP. Any hints and ideas are greatly appreciated. Rob
Re: tomcat, directories
Classes usually go in axis/WEB-INF/classes directory. be sure to keep your classes in a directory strcuture according to the package names, so com/yourbiz/util/YourClass would go in a dircetory axis/WEB-INF/classes/com/yourbiz/util/ hope I read your question right :-) On 4/22/05, Dave Overbeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello! > > I am desperately trying to get a simple application to run which has two > modules, a utility and a web service for it.

Re: How to pass information between handlers and services.
as far as I know there is no way for a handler to talk to a WS directly. but you can get the message inside your WS implementation: in your WS you can get the soap message using org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext() which gives you an object of type MessageContext. that you can use just like in your handlers, so just retrieve any info fram the message you want. hope I could be of help.

Re: Handler to webservice bridge.
Hi. just posted a question of the same kind and got a response. in your WS you can get the soap message using org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext() which gives you an object of type MessageContext. that you can use just like in your handlers, so just retrieve user and pwd again in the WS implementation. hope that helps.

SOAP message content in the service implementation
Hi. This is more of a general question I am afraid. I would need to have access to some parts of my SOAP message in the service implementation. More precise, I am sending some info to a WS A in SOAP headers. This service A in turn makes a call to another WS B( in doing so WS A is acting as a client/consumer). Now I would like to include the information, which WS A received in the form of SOAP headers, to the message that WS A sends to WS B. I am aware of handlers being able to process messages, but is it possible to get a hold of the message inside the WS implementation? I am pretty sure that it is not possible with Axis. After all, the implementation of the WS would only be working when used as a WS. So if I am right and it is not possible, does anybody know of other SOAP enabled application servers that allow you to do something like that? Or any hints as to how I could alter the Axis code so that it migh be possible (I know, that would be a mission and and half, anyway.) Thanks in advance Rob
Users and roles
Hi I have had a look at the server-config.wsdd and noticed that some of the existing WS in axis define allowedRoles in their config file entries. I assume that the user names which are the value of the "allowedRoles" parameters in server-config.wsdd correspond to users in /axis/WEB-INF/users.lst. My question now is how to use this apparent security mechanism in Axis. How do I authenticate myself as a certain user when consuming a WS deployed in Axis? Or is that not the way users.lst and "allowedRoles" is supposed to be used? Thanks in advance! Rob
