Java Servlet Question

I'm running a SOAP server in java on Google App Engine. According to the JAX-WS documentation, you can access the servlet context in a web service by including a WebServiceContext variable and annotating it with the @Resource annotation but that doesn't appear to work in the GAE server.

The WebServiceContext is listed on the java class white page list - https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/jrewhitelist - so I'm assuming it's possible. Has anyone done this successfully?

@WebService
public class MyWebService {

    @Resource
    private WebServiceContext wsContext;

    @WebMethod 
    public int setActive() {

        ServletContext servletContext = wsContext.getMessageContext().get(MessageContext.SERVLET_CONTEXT);
        servletContext.setAttribute("active", Boolean.TRUE);
        return 0;

    }

}

Do you need getters/setters for the annotated variable?

tried that, and also tried annotating the set function with the @Resource annotation, as was recommended on one stack overflow solutionm but still no joy

I'm considering using the memcache api as an alternative.
