javax.xml.rpc.server
Interface ServletEndpointContext


public interface ServletEndpointContext

The ServletEndpointContext provides an endpoint context maintained by the underlying servlet container based JAX-RPC runtime system. For service endpoints deployed on a servlet container based JAX-RPC runtime system, the context parameter in the ServiceLifecycle.init method is required to be of the Java type javax.xml.rpc.server.ServletEndpointContext.

A servlet container based JAX-RPC runtime system implements the ServletEndpointContext interface. The JAX-RPC runtime system is required to provide appropriate session, message context, servlet context and user principal information per method invocation on the endpoint class.


Method Summary
 javax.servlet.http.HttpSession getHttpSession()
          The getHttpSession method returns the current HTTP session (as a javax.servlet.http.HTTPSession).
 MessageContext getMessageContext()
          The method getMessageContext returns the MessageContext targeted for this endpoint object.
 javax.servlet.ServletContext getServletContext()
          The method getServletContext returns the ServletContext associated with the web application that contain this endpoint.
 java.security.Principal getUserPrincipal()
          Returns a java.security.Principal instance that contains the name of the authenticated user for the current method invocation on the endpoint object.
 

Method Detail

getMessageContext

public MessageContext getMessageContext()
The method getMessageContext returns the MessageContext targeted for this endpoint object. This enables the endpoint object to acccess the MessageContext propagated by request HandlerChain (and its contained Handler instances) to the target endpoint object and to share any SOAP message processing related context. The endpoint object can access and manipulate the MessageContext and share the SOAP message processing related context with the response HandlerChain.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException - - if this method is invoked outside a remote method implementation by an endpoint object.

getUserPrincipal

public java.security.Principal getUserPrincipal()
Returns a java.security.Principal instance that contains the name of the authenticated user for the current method invocation on the endpoint object. This method returns null if there is no associated principal yet. The underlying JAX-RPC runtime system takes the responsibility of providing the appropriate authenticated principal for a remote method invocation on the service endpoint object.

getHttpSession

public javax.servlet.http.HttpSession getHttpSession()
The getHttpSession method returns the current HTTP session (as a javax.servlet.http.HTTPSession). When invoked by the service endpoint within a remote method implementation, the getHttpSession returns the HTTP session associated currently with this method invocation. This method returns null if there is no HTTP session currently active and associated with this service endpoint. An endpoint class should not rely on an active HTTP session being always there; the underlying JAX-RPC runtime system is responsible for managing whether or not there is an active HTTP session.
Throws:
JAXRPCException - - If this method invoked by a non-HTTP bound endpoints.

getServletContext

public javax.servlet.ServletContext getServletContext()
The method getServletContext returns the ServletContext associated with the web application that contain this endpoint. According to the Servlet specification. There is one context per web application (installed as a WAR) per JVM . A servlet based service endpoint is deployed as part of a web application.
