hi, I had time to go through your comment and I think what you suggest is the correct way to address the problem. So +1 for that.
Then I looked into the our code and found that we have also done the same technique with separate two Transport listeners :). Because we have our own two transport listeners this code gives us problems, // This method should not be part of the public API. In particular we must not allow subclasses // to override this method because we don't make any guarantees as to when exactly this method // is called. private void preprocessRequest(HttpServletRequest req) throws ServletException { initContextRoot(req); AxisServletListener listener = req.isSecure() ? httpsListener : httpListener; if (listener == null) { throw new ServletException(req.getScheme() + " is forbidden"); } else { // Autodetect the port number if necessary if (listener.getPort() == -1) { listener.setPort(req.getServerPort()); } } } Here you assume anyone use Axis2 as a library has used AxisServletListner and kept it as a private variable in Axis2Servlet. Instead of I would like to implement this method like this, // This method should not be part of the public API. In particular we must not allow subclasses // to override this method because we don't make any guarantees as to when exactly this method // is called. private void preprocessRequest(HttpServletRequest req) throws ServletException { initContextRoot(req); TransportInDescription transportInDescription = req.isSecure() ? this.axisConfiguration.getTransportIn(Constants.TRANSPORT_HTTPS) : this.axisConfiguration.getTransportIn(Constants.TRANSPORT_HTTP); if (transportInDescription == null) { throw new ServletException(req.getScheme() + " is forbidden"); } else { if (transportInDescription.getReceiver() instanceof AxisServletListener) { AxisServletListener listener = (AxisServletListener) transportInDescription.getReceiver(); if (listener.getPort() == -1) { listener.setPort(req.getServerPort()); } } } } In this way we do not keep the Axis2Specific listener and take it from the axis configuration and check for port only if it is an Axis2Servlet listener. WDYT? thanks, Amila.
