Unable to access HttpServletRequest object in Axis2 messageContext

[David Cheung]

Hi,

I created a user-defined handler in my Axis2 servlet, but when I try to access the HttpServletRequest object, it always returns null.

   
public class MyHandler extends AbstractHandler {
	@Override
	public InvocationResponse invoke(MessageContext msgContext)
	throws AxisFault {
              msgContext.getProperty("transport.http.servletRequest");  <-- null
        }
}
 

Why can I not access this object?

Thanks!

If you wouldn't mind, could you please tell why you want to access this object?

Want to access the http authorization header

Did you correctly engage your module in the in-flow handler chain?
