How to access ServletContext from SOAP web service method?

[RJGraham]

Hello,

I have a method in a class exposed as a SOAP web service in a web
application running under TomCat 4.x and would like this method to get
access to the web app ServletContext.

Is this possible?

I've done a Google search and scoured the SOAP and Servlet javadocs but
can't see how to do this.

Thanks for any help.

I don't think you can since the class will have no idea that it's
running in a servlet container. Nor should it! That's the whole
point of the architecture you've chosen. If you want it to know
about the calling context then implement it some other way.
You can't have it both ways, you know.

I want my web service method to share an object with my servlets.
I can do this with a static but was wondering if ServletContext was
available.

why not just use JNDI, to get resource directly from tomcat's configuration?
