Re: Select the output-network-interface to call an axis-webservice

[Thomas Burdairon]

Not sure to understand, but i think this has to be done in Tomcat ( or any application server you use) Thomas On May 15, 2006, at 4:52 PM, Carsten Schmidt wrote: Hi Alain, thanks for your answer, but it seems as if the NetworkInterface-class would just be able to give you information about the interfaces. For me, it is important to tell the program which Interface to use, because the webserver I'm working on got different IP's in different sub-networks. So, I am looking for a method like setHostAdress(foo). Maybe this is more a part of java than axis, but the Axis-Call-class seems to handle the whole hardware/network-stuff on it's own. I can't believe that there is no smart way to handle this.

It shows how to loop on all your interfaces and select one (according to its address prefix...). That's probably close to what your're after.

But maybe you know another mailinglist or a book, which might be able to help me? It is really important for me to find a solution for that, and meanwhile I ain't got no more idea where to look at. Regards, Carsten Hi everybody,  maybe this question has already been answered a thousend times, but I  haven't found anything about it.  I got a server with a few different network adapters. Each of them with  a different IP. Now I'm searching for a way to call a webservice by  choosing exacly one of those adapters (which is not the default one).  How can I do than?  java.net.NetworkInterface shows me what is available, but where can it  set what to use? org.apache.axis.client.Call?  org.apache.axis.client.Service?  Can anybody help me?  Carsten
