Hi, I came across this problem using Axis. I remember that org.apache.axis.MessageContext holds all the information related to the application context. Just a small google search I'v found this page: http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2006/01/31/getting-remote-ip-address-in-axis/ which explains the remote IP address. Maybe that helps
