Get the username from UsernameTokens in Skeleton class

[Chad DeBauch <cd...@gmail.com>]

How do I get the username that was in the SOAP UsernameToken from my
skeleton class?  Is there a way to retrieve it from the MessageContext?  I
am using Rampart to validate the UsernameTokens using a PWCallback class.

Thanks,

Chad

Another way is outlined at:

   http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/WsFx/wss4jFAQ#usernme

An interpretation of this I've been using is:

   import org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext ;

   import java.util.Vector ;

   import org.apache.ws.security.handler.WSHandlerResult ;
   import org.apache.ws.security.handler.WSHandlerConstants ;

   import org.apache.ws.security.WSSecurityEngineResult ;
   import org.apache.ws.security.util.WSSecurityUtil ;
   import org.apache.ws.security.WSConstants ;
   import org.apache.ws.security.WSUsernameTokenPrincipal ;

   import java.security.Principal;

   [...]

   public String helloUsername() throws Exception {

       MessageContext msgCtx = MessageContext.getCurrentMessageContext() ;

       Vector results =
               (Vector) 
msgCtx.getProperty(WSHandlerConstants.RECV_RESULTS) ;
               // Results for all chained `RampartReceiver' etc handlers.

       WSHandlerResult rResult = (WSHandlerResult) results.get(0) ;
               // Result object for final handler.

       Vector wsResult = rResult.getResults() ;
               // Results for all actions by this handler.

       WSSecurityEngineResult actionResult =
               WSSecurityUtil.fetchActionResult(wsResult, WSConstants.UT) ;
                       // Result for `UsernameToken' action.

       Principal principal = actionResult.getPrincipal() ;
               // Principal extracted from `<UsernameToken/>' element.

       WSUsernameTokenPrincipal wsPrincipal =
               (WSUsernameTokenPrincipal) principal ;

       return "Hello " + wsPrincipal.getName() + "!" ;
   }

I figured out how to do this.  I got the SOAP Envelope from the
MessageContext by calling getEnvelope() and parsing the SOAP Header for the
username.  I was hoping there were some helper methods that would do that
for you but now it is done.
