 Hi Prashanth

Refer to FAQs at apache soap
How can I get the IP address of a client that is using my SOAP Service?
If you add a SOAPContext Object as first Parameter in the signature of your
SOAP-service java-method, a 'SOAPContext' Object is passed to your class,
e.g.:
.mymethod(SOAPContext inContext, String inString)

This SOAPContext object gives you access to the HttpSession, HttpRequest,
HttpResponse (see java doc for details).
So, your SOAP service method can get the servlet request out of the context
object, and then call the getRemoteAddr() method on the service request
object:

import javax.servlet.http.*;
....
HttpServletRequest req =
(HttpServletRequest)soapCtx.getProperty(org.apache.soap.Constants.BAG_HTTPSE
RVLETREQUEST);
String remoteIPAddress = req.getRemoteAddr();

NOTE: this will only work where the client and server are both using the
Apache SOAP libraries.
