Getting the IP Address of SOAP Clients (works for REST clients but, not for SOAP clients)

[myerscb]

Hi,

I am using CXF 2.4.0 in a Tomcat 7.0.14 container.

I have it set up to do both JAX-WS and JAX-RS.  I am using a beans.xml to
register the serivices:

beans.xml snippit:

     <jaxrs:server id="goldenKey_rest" address="/rest">
       <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
         <ref bean="goldenKey_bean" />
       </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
                <jaxrs:providers>
                  <ref bean="dateProvider" />
                  <ref bean="exceptionMapper" />
                </jaxrs:providers>
     </jaxrs:server>

      <jaxws:endpoint xmlns:s="http://com.upmc.tdc.server";
         serviceName="s:GoldenKey"
         endpointName="s:GoldenKeyPort"
         id="goldenKey_soap"
         implementor="#goldenKey_bean"
         address="/soap" />      

I am trying to capture the client ip address for both REST and SOAP.  It
works perfectly with REST but not SOAP.

here is the code that i am using to get the HttpServletReqeust object (this
is in my service implementation class):

        @Resource
        private HttpServletRequest request = null;

        @Resource
        public void setContext(WebServiceContext context) {
                if (context != null && context.getMessageContext() != null &&
context.getMessageContext().get(AbstractHTTPDestination.HTTP_REQUEST) !=
null) {
                        this.request = (HttpServletRequest)
context.getMessageContext().get(AbstractHTTPDestination.HTTP_REQUEST);
                }
        }

As i said, REST works great.  But when i try to use SOAP the request object
returns null as soon as i do a getRemoteAddr().

The soap request it being submitted using Apache HttpClient.

here is some CXF output about the request:

INFO: Inbound Message
----------------------------
ID: 1
Address: http://localhost:8080/GoldenKey/svc/soap
Encoding: UTF-8
Http-Method: POST
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Headers: {connection=[Keep-Alive], Content-Length=[387],
content-type=[text/xml; charset=utf-8], host=[localhost:8080],
user-agent=[Apache-HttpClient/4.1 (java 1.5)], x-forwarded-for=[This is my
ip address: 127.0.0.1]}
Payload: <soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";><soap:Body><ns2:getAddressTypes
xmlns:ns2="http://com.upmc.tdc.server";><ns2:Application><applicationId>2a24907c-59c2-4415-b944-a5d1148544d1</applicationId></ns2:Application><ns2:User><username>myerscb</username></ns2:User><ns2:DataSourceType>EPCD</ns2:DataSourceType></ns2:getAddressTypes></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
--------------------------------------

it certainly looks like the headers are there, even one that I inserted
(x-forwarded-for).  But, when I attempt to try and access the headers
through the request object, i get a null pointer exception.

I am wondering what i am missing?  is there a different way to get header
information for a soap request?

Thanks for your help,

Chris
