You are right that the header can be extracted from the Envelope I get
when I use Message-based service. However, I want to "look" at the
header even before it reaches the RPCRouterServlet. I want to use Filter
support provided by Tomcat 4.0 to intercept the requests. The Filter can
be installed to intercept any request _before_ it is delivered to the
servlet.
I am able to install the Filter succesfully and also intercept the
request. But I don't know how to read the Header. Here is the method on
the Filter that gets called:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res,
FilterChain filterChain)
So my basic problem is how to extract the Header information given just
the ServletRequest object.
I tried using "getInputStream()" method on the ServletRequest object and
am able to read the contents. However, since the inputstream has been
"read/touched", I get the following error when the request eventually
reaches the Servlet.
Ouch, the call failed:
Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Protocol
Fault String = Premature end of stream. Data is truncated. Read -1
bytes successfully, expected 1719
Is there another way that I could look at the contents of a
ServletRequest without getting this error?
Any ideas/suggestions on what I could do?
Thanks,
