I want to add the client address header (IP address of the client) to SOAP Header on each web request from client/user.
I use WCF services, and my implementation class is as follows:
public class Service : IService
{
public Guid UserId()
{
if (MemUser != null)
return (Guid)MemUser.ProviderUserKey;
else
return Guid.Empty;
}
public void SystemLog(Nullable<Guid> Customer, ResultCode Result, FacilityCode Facility, int Code, string Info)
{
// get IP address out of the SOAP header, if any
string clientAddress = string.Empty;
if ((ClientAddress != null) && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(ClientAddress.IPAddress))
clientAddress = ClientAddress.IPAddress;
else if ((HttpContext.Current != null) && (HttpContext.Current.Request != null) && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress))
clientAddress = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
SystemLog(Customer, Result, Facility, Code, Info, clientAddress); //writes into database
}
//other methods
}
My interface looks like this:
[ServiceContract(Name = "ServiceSoap", Namespace = "http://www.example.com/webservice"), XmlSerializerFormat]
public interface IService
{
[OperationContract(Action = "http://www.example.com/webservice/UserId")]
Guid UserId();
//other implementations
}
If i have a class for ClientAddressHeader inherited by SoapHeader like
public class ClientAddressHeader : SoapHeader
{
public string IPAddress;
public ClientAddressHeader(){}
}
I can easily pass the SOAP header (ClientAddress) in wse using [WebMethod] like:
[WebService(Namespace = "http://www.example.com/webservice")]
public class Service : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
public ClientAddressHeader ClientAddress;
[WebMethod, SoapHeader("ClientAddress", Direction = SoapHeaderDirection.In)] //client request
public Guid UserId()
{
if (MemUser != null)
return (Guid)MemUser.ProviderUserKey;
else
return Guid.Empty;
}
}
So does anyone know how do I pass the SoapHeader when I use WCF??
I really appreciate if someone explain me clearly how to achieve this.
PS: I have also read some blogs in msdn and Agent Message Inspector none of them are really useful for me or i did not understand that very well.
