HTTP Session from the client

[mcbilly123]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to get the HTTP Request before I send out the SOAP request to add in some properties to the SOAP request (IE HTTP Session and IP Address). Does anyone know how to do this? I am using spring-ws-1.5.9.

Here is my applicationContext:

        <bean id="facade" class="com.company.facade.facadeImpl" parent="webServiceGatewaySupport">
		<property name="messageSender" ref="commonsMessageSender" />
	</bean>
	
	<bean id="commonsMessageSender" class="org.springframework.ws.transport.http.CommonsHttpMessageSender">
		<constructor-arg ref="httpClient" />
		<property name="credentials" ref="credentials" />
	</bean>
	<bean id="credentials" class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials">
		<constructor-arg value="USERNAME" />
		<constructor-arg value="PASSWORD" />
	</bean>
        <bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory" />
    
	<bean id="httpClientParams" class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpClientParams">
            <property name="authenticationPreemptive" value="false" />
            <property name="connectionManagerClass" value="org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager" />
        </bean>
    
        <bean id="httpClient" class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient">
            <constructor-arg ref="httpClientParams" />
        </bean>

Here is the code:

public class FacadeImpl extends WebServiceGatewaySupport 
    implements Facade {
    
    /**
     * The HTTP Message Sender.
     */
    protected CommonsHttpMessageSender messageSender;
    
    /**
     * Default constructor
     */
    public FacadeImpl() {
        super();
    }
    
    /**
     * Constructor accepting MessageFactory
     * @param messageFactory
     */
    public FacadeImpl(WebServiceMessageFactory messageFactory) {
        super(messageFactory);
    }
   
    public Response createRequest(
            Request request) throws Exception {
        Response response = null;
        try {
            response = (Response) super.getWebServiceTemplate()
                    .marshalSendAndReceive(request,
                        new CustomWebServiceMessageCallback(){
                public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) {
                    try {
                        /*
                         * Modify the SOAP Headers.
                         */
                        modifySOAPHeader(message, text);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                    }
                }
            });
        } catch(Exception e) {
            throw e;
        }
        return response;
    }
}
public abstract class CustomWebServiceMessageCallback
		implements WebServiceMessageCallback {
	
	/**
	 * Modify the SOAP Headers for common properties.
	 * 
	 * @param message
	 * @param text
	 */
	public void modifySOAPHeader(WebServiceMessage message,
			String text) {
		/*
		 * Modify the soap header for specific fields.
		 */
		SoapMessage soap = (SoapMessage) message;
		SoapHeader soapHeader = soap.getSoapHeader();
		//TODO: GET THE IP Address and Session ID
		SoapHeaderElement ipAddress = soapHeader.
			addHeaderElement(new QName(
					Util.DUMMY_XSD,
					Util.IP_ADDRESS));
		ipAddress.setText(HOW TO GET THIS?);
		SoapHeaderElement sessionId = soapHeader.
			addHeaderElement(new QName(
					Util.DUMMY_XSD,
					Util.SESSION_ID));
		sessionId.setText(HOW TO GET THIS?);
	}
}

Thanks,
Bill

I found this documentation, but it is for the server side. Need to know how from the client side.
