I have developed a webservice in java.
I have a single application which needs to be concurrently accessed by multiple clients. Therefore I need to know which client has made each request. Is there a way to obtain the client ip address from the soap response?

The answer from petiex above assume some things about the SOAP library you are using and that you are using HTTP as the transport. Let me first ask that: what SOAP library are you using and what is the transport?
The answer is essentially correct though: you need to get access to you transport protocol (usually HTTP) and get it from there.

Inject a WebServiceContext instance into your WebService class, and use it in each WebMethod to get the current request's MessageContext Map. Get the SERVLET_REQUEST item from that, cast as an HttpServletRequest. From that HttpServletRequest, you can invoke getRemoteAddr() to get the client's IP.
@WebService
public class MyService{
@Resource
WebServiceContext wsCtxt;
@WebMethod
public void myWebMethod(){
MessageContext msgCtxt = wsCtxt.getMessageContext()
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)msgCtx
String clientIP = req.getRemoteAddr();
}
