<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>I have installed JBoss6.0.0M3 which deploys woth JBossws3.3.0.</p><p>I am trying to see if it is possible to access the information passed as part of the SOAP header within the endpoint EJB. I have been able to use handlers to manipulate the SOAP Message, but I am not able to find information regarding access from the EJB. </p><p>There are some pages that indicate that this is possible using the SessionContext. The handlers set some attributes that are later accessed from the EJB, this would work but  I do not find any code that I could use as a reference. Any ideas? Code examples?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>This is the code I found but it has problems:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><pre>public class MyMessageHandler extends
