How to get remote host address from axis2 handler's invoke function?

[Ping Li]

Hi,

I am writing an authentication module which needs remote host address to do the job. the class which extends AbstractHandler, I tried to get remote host address in the function "invoke" by using MessageContext.getProperty(MessageContext.REMOTE_ADDR) function, but it returns null.

(I am using axis2 framework)

Any ideas? Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
