## javax.xml.rpc.server
Interface ServletEndpointContext

All Known Implementing Classes:
  ServletEndpointContextImpl

public interface ServletEndpointContext

The `ServletEndpointContext` provides an endpoint context maintained by the underlying servlet container based JAX-RPC runtime system. For service endpoints deployed on a servlet container based JAX-RPC runtime system, the context parameter in the `ServiceLifecycle.init` method is required to be of the Java type `javax.xml.rpc.server.ServletEndpointContext`.

A servlet container based JAX-RPC runtime system implements the `ServletEndpointContext` interface. The JAX-RPC runtime system is required to provide appropriate session, message context, servlet context and user principal information per method invocation on the endpoint class.

Version:
  1.0

Method Summary
`javax.servlet.http.HttpSession` `getHttpSession()` The `getHttpSession` method returns the current HTTP session (as a `javax.servlet.http.HTTPSession`).
`MessageContext` `getMessageContext()` The method `getMessageContext` returns the `MessageContext` targeted for this endpoint instance.
`javax.servlet.ServletContext` `getServletContext()` The method `getServletContext` returns the `ServletContex`t associated with the web application that contain this endpoint.
`java.security.Principal` `getUserPrincipal()` Returns a `java.security.Principal` instance that contains the name of the authenticated user for the current method invocation on the endpoint instance.
`boolean` `isUserInRole(java.lang.String s)`

Method Detail

### getMessageContext

    public MessageContext getMessageContext()

  The method `getMessageContext` returns the `MessageContext` targeted for this endpoint instance. This enables the service endpoint instance to acccess the `MessageContext` propagated by request `HandlerChain` (and its contained `Handler` instances) to the target endpoint instance and to share any SOAP message processing related context. The endpoint instance can access and manipulate the `MessageContext` and share the SOAP message processing related context with the response `HandlerChain`.

  Returns:
    MessageContext; If there is no associated `MessageContext`, this method returns `null`.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if this method is invoked outside a remote method implementation by a service endpoint instance.

### getUserPrincipal

    public java.security.Principal getUserPrincipal()

  Returns a `java.security.Principal` instance that contains the name of the authenticated user for the current method invocation on the endpoint instance. This method returns `null` if there is no associated principal yet. The underlying JAX-RPC runtime system takes the responsibility of providing the appropriate authenticated principal for a remote method invocation on the service endpoint instance.

  Returns:
    A `java.security.Principal` for the authenticated principal associated with the current invocation on the servlet endpoint instance; Returns `null` if there no authenticated user associated with a method invocation.

### getHttpSession

    public javax.servlet.http.HttpSession getHttpSession()

  The `getHttpSession` method returns the current HTTP session (as a `javax.servlet.http.HTTPSession`). When invoked by the service endpoint within a remote method implementation, the `getHttpSession` returns the HTTP session associated currently with this method invocation. This method returns `null` if there is no HTTP session currently active and associated with this service endpoint. An endpoint class should not rely on an active HTTP session being always there; the underlying JAX-RPC runtime system is responsible for managing whether or not there is an active HTTP session.

  The getHttpSession method throws `JAXRPCException` if invoked by an non HTTP bound endpoint.

  Returns:
    The HTTP session associated with the current invocation or `null` if there is no active session.
  Throws:
    `JAXRPCException` - - If this method invoked by a non-HTTP bound endpoints.

### getServletContext

    public javax.servlet.ServletContext getServletContext()

  The method `getServletContext` returns the `ServletContex`t associated with the web application that contain this endpoint. According to the Servlet specification, There is one context per web application (installed as a WAR) per JVM . A servlet based service endpoint is deployed as part of a web application.

  Returns:
    the current `ServletContext`

### isUserInRole

    public boolean isUserInRole(java.lang.String s)
