RE: getting request hostname/IP

[Tom Jordahl]

Dug,

 

I think this is a very reasonable thing to want. Could you add it to the TODO list?

 

 And of course you could implement it too. :-)

Looked in the axis samples/tests and the only reference to namespace in WSDD that looked close was specifying a targetNamespace on the root of the wsdd file - which btw didn't seem to change anything - and if it did work it seems like it should be on the service itself since it could be service specific. Oh well.

Tom,
Don't assume SimpleAxisServer is just for testing. I know of people that are using it in place of Tomcat because all they really want is Axis listening on a port without having the overhead of an real app server. So rather than reinventing the wheel they're just using SimpleAxisServer. Also, because they don't have an app server they need some way to host their WSDL and ?wsdl on SimpleAxisServer works well for that too - modulo this hostname bug.

Using the hostname isn't great, I agree, I wanted to use the IP address since in a DHCP environment hostnames don't always work, and I did use the IP address at first but stopped - and I can't remember what problem I ran into though - I _think_ it might have been a namespace issue.

I'll look into specifying the namespace in the wsdd - if that works that would be great. thanks.

Keep in mind this is just for SimpleAxisServer, which is pretty much only used for testing.
Also, in a environment where a hostname lookup wont work (the recent interop for instance, we used fixed IP address), using the hostname isn't the best.  This is why I would prefer to get the info from the request.
 
I think Rick R. recent submit will do the right thing, but I haven't tested it.
 
As far as setting the namespace from the URL, I believe the right thing here is to specify the namespace of the service in the deployment description (wsdd).  We might have this already, I'm not sure.  JWS files would could use the config interface (which needs to be updated so we can get all the service description info from a JWS (or any) class itself...

Tom,
I was just looking at this the other day, using "localhost" is really bad
since when someone uses ?wsdl they'll get "localhost" in the WSDL which
makes it useless. In our local copy we use:
String hostname = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
but I didn't check it in because some tests broke. I think the tests are
wrong but didn't get a chance to look into it.
On a side note - it sure would be nice if ?wsdl supported some options
like setting of the namespace from the URL (ie. ?wsdl&namespace=urn:foo)

Yes, that actually is  close.
But what I really want is to reflect back in the WSDL the address or  hostname (and it could be either) that was used by the  request.

But failing that, we should probably just set the  value to the local host IP address.
This may be trouble on machines with  more than 1 IP address however....

Tom,

Is this what u  are looking  for?

Thanks,
