I don't know if this helps, but see my thread on a similar subject: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=128375 I tried to get the session context via the MessageContext, but that doesn't appear to work. At least not the way I tried. There is a helpful explanation on how to get the request context here: https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/articles/MessageContext.html and that's what I've used to get as far as I have. But I'm still not able to retrieve the property I'm after (the PASSWORD_PROPERTY). View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4123600#...
