Here is what I have learned so far...
If I want to get the precise protocol and port I have to get it from the
ServletRequest not the ServletContext. reason is, as Jan said this is
request specific an may vary from one request to another.
With spring-ws it is fairly straightforward to get this once a request
is being processed:
TransportContext tc =
TransportContextHolder.getTransportContext();
WebServiceConnection wc = tc.getConnection();
URI uri = wc.getUri();
Viola! the URI has exactly what I need :-)
Thanks very much Jan.
