HTTP status code from Soap message

[kaliappan durairaj]

Can any one tell me how to get the HTTP status code from soap message in Webservice.

That depends on the SOAP stack you use. But why do you need that code? You shouldn't tie the service to a particular transport; if you need an error/status code you can make it part of the SOAP response.

Actually in Webservices am having an handler at the client side, below the sample code

public boolean handleResponse(MessageContext arg0) {
Logger.info("Entering into the handleResponse method.............", this.getClass());
SOAPMessageContext ctx = (SOAPMessageContext) arg0;
}

How can we get the HTTP status code from the javax.xml.rpc.handler.MessageContext argument?

https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/articles/MessageContext.html explains how to do that. It's really not good design to rely on HTTP features, though.
