Hi!
It seems like the tip from Andrew Vardeman missed some casting. You need to cast the
result like this:
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.axis.MessageContext;
import org.apache.axis.server.AxisServer;
import org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPConstants;
.....
MessageContext msgContext = AxisServer.getCurrentMessageContext();
HttpServletRequest req =
(HttpServletRequest)msgContext.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST);
System.out.println("A client on the IP address " + req.getRemoteHost() + " is
accessing my web service.");
As you see, I am using this to get the IP address of the client, but the req object
above does also have the methods "Cookie[] getCookies()" and "HttpSession
getSession()". I have not tried to use these, but I guess it is the latter you need?

Hope this helps (and was not obvious to you).

Ok, that static method makes a lot more sense, thanks for the tip.
Still, that cant be the way to access the id, i'm not sure what kind of object you are
attemtping to invoke "getSession()" on. These properties are a little bizarre to me.
First of all, seems like they are all strings, so taht HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST would be
some kind of string which of course doesnt hold any session you can access.
I noticed a constant called HEADER_COOKIE so maybe that is a way to directly access
the ID. I wouldnt want to have to parse the cookie string for the ID-- It seems like
breaking abstraction.
