Hi,
I’m running Axis 1.3/Tomcat 5.5 and using servlet-api 2.4. Is it possible to access a Accessing Tomcat Webapp Servlet Context from my axis Webservice ?
I have a simple web service that when called needs to invoke on an object that is autostarted and running separately under tomcat as a webapp.
To test initially I just setup two tomcat webapps. App1 used setAttribute on its servlet context so it became available to other servlets e.g.
public void init(ServletConfig sc) {
context = sc.getServletContext(); context.setAttribute("App1", this); }
App2 then did a getAttributs on its context and invoked the required method on App1 e.g.
App1 app = (App1) context.getAttribute("App1"); app.getCalledCount();
This all worked Ok. When I try using various ways from my axis webservice I just get nullpointer.
e.g.
HttpServlet servlet = (HttpServlet) messageContext .getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLET);
ServletContext servletContext = (ServletContext) servlet .getServletContext();
App1 app = (App) servletContext.getAttribute("App1");
app.getCalledCount();
Does anyone know if it is possible from an axis webapp to invoke on a another tomcat servlet ? Can I not get access because classloaders are different perhaps ?
Note: I have loaded App1.jar into tomcat/commons/lib instead of webapps/App1/WEB-INF/lib so there is just the one copy available to tomcat.
Any help appreciated,
Regards,
Ciaran
