We have

@Resource
public WebServiceContext context;

public String namespace()
{
try

{ SOAPMessageContext msgContext = (SOAPMessageContext)context.getMessageContext(); SOAPMessage soapMessage = msgContext.getMessage(); SOAPEnvelope soapEnvelope = (SOAPEnvelope)soapMessage.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope(); String nsURI = soapEnvelope.getNamespaceURI(); log.info(nsURI); return nsURI; }

catch (SOAPException ex)

{ throw new WebServiceException(ex); }

}

in an endpoint. The SOAPMessageContext can be obtained from handlers only, so the SOAPMessageContext retrieval should be done in a server side handler.
