TIP: JAX-WS Knowing Client IP (Requester IP)

To find out the client IP (the invoker) in JAX-WS Webservice one will need to use WebServiceContext

   1: import com.sun.xml.ws.transport.Headers;

   2: import javax.annotation.Resource;

   3: import javax.jws.WebMethod;

   4: import javax.jws.WebService;

   5: import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceContext;

   6: import javax.xml.ws.handler.MessageContext; 

   7:  

   8: @WebService

   9: public class XYZService 

  10: { 

  11:  

  12:     @Resource

  13:     WebServiceContext wsContext; 

  14:  

  15:     /**

  16:      * Web service operation

  17:      */

  18:     @WebMethod(operationName = "doOperation")

  19:     public String doOperation() 

  20:     {

  21:         MessageContext mc = wsContext.getMessageContext();

  22:         HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)mc.get(MessageContext.SERVLET_REQUEST);

  23:         String clientIP = req.getRemoteAddr();

  24:         System.out.println("Client IP = " + clientIP); 

  25:         .....

  26:     }
