Hi, in the JAX-WS User Guide - JBossWS ( http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php/JAX-WS_User_Guide#Handler_Fram...) there is some information: anonymous wrote : Accessing the message context | ------------------------------------ | There is currently no portable way of doing this in 4.0.5. @WebServiceContext injection will be available with 4.2. In the meantime you can access the message context like this: | | CommonMessageContext msgContext = MessageContextAssociation.peekMessageContext(); | msgContext.setProperty(, ); | I do not know if this helps for getting the host name.
