Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, same goes for elegance. You could probably append the IP information to the incoming message using CXF, maybe there are other options, I am not a CXF expert.
As you are not willing to expose this functionality as part of you public interface (WSDL), most (all?) solutions will have a hacky feeling to them. -- david -----Original Message----- From: Yair Ben-Meir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 July 2008 14:08 To: users@cxf.apache.org Subject: RE: getting the ip address in the action method Thanks David, Let me start by saying I consider myself to be a Java specialist, after programming in it for years and teaching courses about it. So I was amazed to find out about this class "ThreadLocal" which is in core Java, and I (and my colleagues here in the office) haven't heard about it, ever. I love to learn something new always and this was really surprising... so, thanks about that. Back to our subject, this is a good solution for me, but I wonder, is that the elegant solution? Isn't there a way using CXF to do something like that?

In the method of this class, I handle the request. Now, I want to use the IP of the client in the logic of the method. So I wrote an interceptor that gets the IP: public class IpCxfInterceptor extends AbstractPhaseInterceptor<Message> { @Override public void handleMessage(Message message) throws Fault { HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) message.get(AbstractHTTPDestination.HTTP_REQUEST); String clientAddress = null; if (null != request) { clientAddress = request.getRemoteAddr(); } System.out.println("IP=" + clientAddress); } public IpCxfInterceptor() { super(Phase.RECIEVE); } } The problem is - how can I pass the IP to the method? The method's arguments are according to the WSDL, I can't change them and add "ip" or something like that.
