I've been looking through the WebLogic API and can't seem to find what I'm looking for... Is there a way to determine at run-time the URL being used by an application to access a web service? I have a requirement to log the URL/protocol that was used on every incoming request to the server.

Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks!

The below should work on Weblogic (servlet container).

You need to get the HttpServletRequest and you can access any of the methods of HttpServletRequest.

I've used a JAX-RS example via the @Context, but the principle should be the same for your web service call.

public String showFullURL(@Context HttpServletRequest hsr) {
   return hsr.getRequestURL();

Sorry, I'm not sure how this would work. I'd like to do the logging in a handler (filter) before the actual service is invoked. Also, I can't find an equivalent of getRequestURL in the message context. It doesn't seem to have the same methods as an HttpServletRequest. –  Kal Jul 20 '10 at 13:36

Thanks so much! I was able to get exactly what I needed from your example and the link you gave me. Thanks again! –  Kal Jul 20 '10 at 17:28
