jax-ws WebServiceContext always null

[roojsa]

I am trying to migrate some jax-ws based web services that run in JBoss7.1.1. However, in Wildfly 8.1 my WebServiceContext is always <null>. The following is a small class I've written to isolate a problem I am having. We want the WebServiceContext so that we can record the incoming IP of the request. This is a JDK8/Wildfly8.1 build and deployment.

package com.rossgroupinc.memberz.touchpoints.webservice.webprofile;

import javax.annotation.Resource;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;

import javax.jws.WebService;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceContext;

import javax.xml.ws.handler.MessageContext;

public class WebProfileService {

      @Resource

      WebServiceContext wsContext;

      @WebMethod(operationName="helloWorld")

      public void helloWorld(){

           if(wsContext != null){

                MessageContext mc = wsContext.getMessageContext();

                HttpServletRequest request =(HttpServletRequest) mc.get(MessageContext.SERVLET_REQUEST);

                request.getRemoteAddr();

      }

}

Any assistance in figuring out what we need to do to get the resource injection working would be appreciated.
