I am having trouble understanding how to log requests to my services in
Axis2, specifically how to pass information between the phases. I'd
like to log the client IP address, the response size, the name of the
method being invoked, and (ideally) the parameter values they're using
(ie method signature).
I followed the example on creating a logging module, but I found that
the client IP is only available from the in context; in the out context
it's null. I tried writing two handlers, one for the inflow (get the
client IP) and one for the outflow (get the SOAP action and response
size, log the info). But how I can pass information between the inflow
and outflow contexts?
I saw this: http://marc.info/?l=axis-user&m=116967807112741&w=2, which
says "set the incoming IP address on a
InheritableThreadLocal variable to have access to it throughout your
application," but I don't understand what that means. Where do I define
the InheritableThreadLocal variable? How do I access it?
Thanks for you help,
Kimberly Nicholls
