accessing ServletContext from within @WebMethod

Hi,

in a webservice i need to get hold of an ServletContext because i need  
to load some resources for BIRT eclipse reporting.
Is this possible somehow?

Hi,

thanks folks, i just discovered it too and wanted to post this and ask  
if this is correct (which is of course)

     @Resource
     private WebServiceContext context;

     public void submitOrder(Order order) {

         MessageContext messageContext = context.getMessageContext();
         ServletContext servletContext =  
(ServletContext 
)messageContext.get(AbstractHTTPDestination.HTTP_CONTEXT);

:)

But of course i am using Spring and i was not aware that i can use  
ServletContextAware, which makes it even easier.

Thanks again for quick response and yeah, i could have seen this  
myself in the docs but i have my very own problems with the CXF docs,  
because they are quite ... ahmmmm..... fragmented :)

If you're creating your implementation object using Spring then the
easiest way is to implement the ServletContextAware interface and Spring
will inject it for you by calling setServletContext.  Alternatively, you
can get a reference to the servlet context via the WebServiceContext
(this may only work during calls to your web service operations, if you
need access to the context before any of your WS methods have been
called, use ServletContextAware).

@Resource
private WebServiceContext ctx;

public String webServiceOperation(....) {
  ServletContext sctx =
     ctx.getMessageContext().get(MessageContext.SERVLET_CONTEXT);
  ...
}
